[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 2750347, member: 70667"] This is absolutely the paradox with any team starting a true freshmen QB. Many people on here are very quick to point to a few teams who have had great seasons with freshmen QB's but the reality is that there are growing pains. It's just that when you're a team like Alabama and Clemson loaded with talent everywhere then a handful of missed throws and/or bad decisions by your QB each game just means you're beating people by 30 points instead of 40. Trevor Lawrence isn't a freshman anymore but anyone who saw his first game the other night saw a kid who is still missing throws and has plenty to learn and improve on and yet it didn't hurt the Clemson team one bit. We don't have that luxury, unfortunately. We really need a QB that will be aggressive enough to force defenses to play us honestly and also avoid mistakes. I still think Duggan is the guy to do that but it will likely come with some mistakes along the way both physically and mentally. Unless of course Baldwin (who I know absolutely nothing about) is further along and ready to get in there at some point soon. [/QUOTE]
