Based on Fuente going after Evans right when he was hired.

Ok I'm tired of hearing this silly argument. Fuente going out and getting Evans does not mean that he is automatically biased in favor of him. I don't care if Evans is the next Cam Newton, Fuente is still going to evaluate everyone objectively based on how they perform in practice. Whether Fuente recruited him or not will not affect his fair judgement.

Motley never threw for 1,000 yards in high school

Yea and that's pretty typical for a QB in a Wing-T offense. Besides he's almost 5 years out of high school ball. If you want to analyze his throwing ability look at what he's doing right now, not what he was doing when he was 14-18 years old.

Purdue game last year looked mediocre at best.

Sigh. Now you're giving a subjective, unsupported evaluation of a guy based on just one game which just happens to be his second game ever starting at the college level and his first start against an FBS opponent ever. Oh and he threw for 2 TD's, no INT, and ran for a TD in that game.

Really really good points. I would hope that our fan base wouldn't "turn on" any kid but sadly that is the nature of the mob.

Heck I wonder what will happen if Evans is the starter and doesn't end up living up the expectations that many fans have for him. Would the Motley naysayers all of a sudden start chanting his number? Or maybe people will call for JJ's probably redshirt to be pulled. After all when one player doesn't live up to our expectations (no matter how unrealistic) we just turn our attention to the next newest toy in hopes that they will bring about some sort of miracle turn around.

Yea did you watch the Pitt game? I think there might have been some other issues on the offense that factored into that one...

Either way I wasn't arguing his viability based on that one game. You were the one arguing against his viability based on that one game.

By the way have you even considered the differences in Lefty's system and Fuente's system and how they will affect someone like Brendon? Based on what you have said so far I take it that you haven't.

EDIT: By the way I have upvoted all of your negative comments. Intelligent discussion is always invited and encouraged here (as there has been plenty of about the QB's over the past few months) but I think most people had problems with your first comment primarily. Don't just bash a kid and definitely don't do it without giving a reason.

As far as I can tell, Dabo appears to be a cheerleader not a coach. He sells the program to recruits and has managed to hire great coordinators to actually run the team. There is a reason why I think the entire staff at Clemson might be the highest paid staff in the Country.

My friend's husband works for Mississippi State's Athletic Department and they have the coolest set up at their baseball stadium.

I can't find any good pictures of it (she sends me a million snap chats) but they have a deck set up in the outfield where you can bring your own grill and tailgate.

Fuente stated in his address to the media that they (the media) was also invited. So I'm sure there won't be a shortage of content come Wednesday morning.
