final answer
Whoops I read this wrong. I thought it was asking Top Clemson QB ACC:CG performances. If strictly QB performances all time, probably not even in the top 25.
E. Final answer

I say B: Top 5
Jun 25, 2018, 1:01 PM
|

1. One of the best turnover defenses in the country and he threw zero picks. 2. Huge stage. Hardware on the line, and a spot in the playoffs on the line. 3. He threw 79% completion percentage. 4. He scored 2 touchdowns one in the air and one on the ground. 5. Threw for over 250 yards. 6. Managed the game perfectly the entire time he was in.

Not top 10

Woody Dantzler probably has 3 of the top 10 with some of the teams he played on. We were great last year because of our D...certainly don't need some article someone else wrote when I saw the game for myself. I will say it was probably KBs best game he has played though.
Woody at GT Woody NCSt DW Bama DW Bama DW UNC Willie Simmons UNC comeback true frosh CW Coots 63-17 1st & 35 just off the top of my head that I recall QBs having a bigger singular impact on a game than KB and Miami, I think KP to Jacoby OT game was more to do with Parker than us trouncing Miami was to do with KB.

I LOVE Willie Simmons for that game. But in no universe
Jun 25, 2018, 1:40 PM
|

was his performance against UNC in 2000 better than KB's against Miami.
UNC wasn't even that good. Willie was 10-18 and had less yards. It was a GREAT performance and I started a nostalgia thread about it a few years ago I have such fond memories of that game, but it is not in the same league as what KB did against Miami in an ACC championship game. A 6-5 UNC team vs a top 5 Miami in a hardware game? That's loopy.
It looks like people are trying to rewrite history because they are gearing up for a 2018 depth chart argument.

Homer against Maryland earlier that season was even better - 270 yards passing for 3 TDs in the first half and another 70 rushing. Not too shabby for an option attack.

7. Coasted through preparation for a Bama team that 'hadn't earned the right to be in the CFP'. (Not KB's statement)

While the Defense was amazing and doesn't deserve a backseat to anyone during that game, the biggest story of the game was actually not them. See the article for yourself.

story coming out of that game was the defense.
Looks like I misread your comment.
I didn't send a link as proof of a "correct" answer. I sent it for the reason above.
But, speaking of disagreement with your answer, I don't believe you could come up with 15 better QB performances.

A.
I know the tigernet narrative is for Trevor Lawrence to take over for KB, but give the guy his just due. He played a fantastic game in the ACCCG.

Top 3 QB performances EVER??
Jun 25, 2018, 2:10 PM
|

Yikes, scorching hot take right there.
I could make a case for 5 DW games and another 2-3 Tajh Boyd games being on the same level, and that's just from the last 2 starting QBs....

Jul 2, 2018, 2:16 PM

1. DW vs Bama pt 2, 2016 Natty Champ 2. DW vs Bama pt 1, 2015 Natty Champ 3. Tajh Boyd vs LSU, 2012 Peach Bowl 4. DW vs SC, 2016 5. Tajh Boyd vs UGA, 2013
I would consider those the top 5 QB performances since 2011. Next group of 5 would include
Tajh vs OSU, 2014 DW vs FSU, 2016 DW vs UNC, 2015 Kelly B vs Miami DW vs UNC, 2014

No doubt Top 10. Miami's defense was elite and that game
Jun 25, 2018, 2:23 PM
|

decided which team goes to playoff. KB played nearly flawlessly.
No doubt Top 10 game of all time for a QB all things considered.
You could maybe argue Top 5, but that would be purely due to the "big stage" of that game.

It was a really good performance, but to say it's top 10 you
Jun 25, 2018, 2:28 PM
|

would have to weigh the circumstances really, really heavily, because if it were treated as just another game i doubt it would make the top 50. Deshaun alone had a lot of games better than that one. Tajh had numerous better games, Charlie had better games, Woody had better games, etc.

Bryant proved it once more against the Hurricanes (10-2, No. 7 CFP). He set a championship game record by completing his first 15 passes -- topping the mark held by teammate you know who from two years ago -- and putting the Tigers ahead 14-0 on his twisting, 11-yard TD run in the opening quarter.
Name the game that either three went 15 for 15 ?

I can think of 2, maybe 3 games where DW4 was the starter that rank below KB's best performance. Sorry but it's the truth. Not one game this past season did I ever think, "KB is the man, he is going to put the game away for us". Every single game DW4 was quarterback I thought that. every.single.game. Even the pitt game. Just goes to show you how clutch DW4 was. I always knew there was a chance for him to do something special. KB was serviceable last season at best. And by serviceable I mean that our running game or defense took that spotlight that DW4 had the previous 2.5 seasons.

was a runaway. There was a lot of QB production and ridiculous accuracy that night - could be top 3 from a rating standpoint.

Honestly I don't think it's in the top 10-15 at all. I would even put Stoudt vs Oklahoma higher although I do think he did well claiming a 250 yard performance vs Miami as top 5-10 all time performance for a Clemson QB in a game would be disrespectful almost to some of the performances we've had.
