doesn't really say much other than he would work since chad will have time to groom him.

[JONAS]

Ok.  I hope so.  I like Kelley.

He looks negatively at things while I prefer to look at things positively. He never gives Morris any credit for anything he did his whole coaching career. The only time players excelled under Morris was either their senior year or after Morris left the program.  I really don't understand why he would write an article about how Kelly would fit in Morris offense when it is evident he doesn't think Morris is a good offensive coach.

Wow. I did not get that from this article at all. What I read is Morris' qb at SMU was not a dual threat and that Kelley is a good qb.  1+1= Kelley fitting into Morris' system

[Paul]

I think it's an informative & unbiased article

[GoPigs69]

I don't read his crap. I have unsubscribed from that crap that they try and push as actual journalism.

He constantly tries to disguise his ill-informed opinions as facts. He is the worst.

[cjack]

Most of his articles are crap, but I'm glad I read this one. I've been wondering if we truly needed a dual that qb under Morris. The one game I watched, the quarterback didn't run much.

So he listed the stats I didn't look up.  The short answer is no, the quarterback doesn't run in a Chad Morris offense.

No it say's that Morris and his Current OC don't run QB's very much, and that Kelley fits into Morris' system very well...

One of Bolin's better efforts. Likely that is because it doesn't say much.

He never does say anything of substance.

Yep, I unfollowed SEC Country on FB too. And I follow plenty of crap. Total. Trash.

This time though, he's right. Kelly will fit very well into the Chad Morris offense because Chad uses pro style passing QBs.

That boy never played a down in his life.

[nwahogfan1]

I think Morris will run an offense and call plays that fits the QB and talent.  I do hope we have a QB on campus who can be more of a dual threat so Morris can put in a Wild hog package and some RPO plays.  That package is very exciting to me.  But whatever he runs if it moves the chains, keeps the ball away from the defense and scores points then we will love it.

[rljjr]

It's unfortunate they have two decent writers, but his constant, relentless negativity overrides all that to make them the worst and least reliable organization out there.

+1 sir

[jackflash]

 just his opinion doesn't mean a thing. I believe Kelly has a chance to do well with this offense. Will have to improve his passing.

[DeltaBoy]

The Steamboat will sail on this year leading the Hogs to a few more wins.

[jdelo77]

He needs to work on his footwork and release ,  he can be a good QB if he can get those fixed ..

[Atlhogfan1]

The reactions to EBs work is an example of why the Arkansas media is homerish and soft.   Small southern market though so it's to be expected. 

[HoggieStyle]

Don't really care what the article says. If Morris can't make it happen with Kelley, then he's not the coach that all the rah-rah types have made him out to be.

And before any of you start yapping, I hope that he can.

Pretty much what I got also.

There's a lot of misconception in Bolin's article. Almost a reflection of the misconception seen on this board.

Tahj Boyd started 3 years at QB for Chad Morris at Clemson. Boyd was known for having one of the best deep balls in college football.  He passed for nearly 4,000 yards in each of the 3 years he started for Chad Morris. He ran for over 1,100 yards and rushed for 25 TDs. Morris had a 1,000 yard running back each of those three years.

Deshaun Watson was a true freshman the year Bolin mentions. He was not the starting QB for the year. He passed for a little over 1,000 yards and rushed for 200 yards and 5 TDs.

So, does Cole Kelley fit the CM offense at Clemson?  Put SMU aside given that Arkansas will not face AAC defenses. The answer is maybe, but with a few differences.

Kelley's greatest strength when you look at what Morris did with Boyd is that Kelley is a threat to score with his feet in the red zone and in short yardage. Kelley lacks Boyd's speed but makes up for it in bulk. Kelley is deceptively fast, but he's not quick. He is a cross between Tim Tebo and Collin Klein and will work unless Morris finds someone better.

Kelley also has a huge arm like Boyd. Morris describes his offense as a run-based vertical spread.  That is exactly what it was under Boyd. It is not so much the RPOs as the threat the QB can take off and pick up a first down and that the offense has a back who can pick up 5 yards or more at anytime. That opens up the deep ball. It is why Morris needs vertical speed. Arkansas probably has the backs Morris needs but whether he has the vertical speed at WR is a question. If he does, Kelley's strength is the deep ball.

What Kelley has not shown is the ability to deliver the ball accurately in the slants, out routes and seams.  He has also shown a very slow release. Some of that is due to his size. How much he can improve is a question mark. It will take a lot of work.

When you look at everything, Kelley can be a very serviceable QB with Arkansas's current personnel in a system similar to the one Morris ran with Tajh Boyd, but it will need to be tailored to fit Kelley's strengths.

We really do need a warning for his links.

His "work"? Lol. He's doesn't write news, he writes opinion piece clickbait. If this guy is "media" then I'm fu&$ing CIA and NASA combined

Bolin is an absolute idiot. Can't even stomach to try and read it.

I don't always agree with Bolin. He's not a great journalist, but this particular article has nothing in it that anyone should find objectionable. It's relatively positive, just not very deep.

You're probably right. Unfortunately, his past work can't escape him (in my eyes anyway).
