Good points. I guess it all depends on what other coaches rise up to win a national championship. With Meyer retired, Stoops retired a year ago, are CNS, Jimbo and Dabo the only active coaches with national championships on their resume?
Tua is better than Lawrence and it is not close. But they are both just one player, and Lawrence had a better surrounding cast (including his own defense) that night. Lawrence isn't making throws on a dime like Tua does. We'll see how this season goes though.
So IOW you’re telling me the offense led by the banged up QB had just as many yards as the healthy one?
Lawrence has physical tools that Tua simply doesn't. Tua has accuracy to all levels that Lawrence simply doesn't. Both need to improve to reach their potential.
I think the issue is getting lumped together and I think you're saying it. Saying the ACC isn't a very competitive conference isn't automatically saying that Clemson isn't legit or their national titles aren't legit. If Clemson as a team wasn't legit that would have been long exposed in all the times we've now played them in the last five years. They are a legit team, their conference on the other hand simply doesn't offer them much competition.
