I’m losing tons of respect for Dabo.

We absolutely do win the Atlantic without DJ. This whole situation has tarnished his reputation in my opinion. Flame away but most of the country and a TON of Clemson fans feel the same way.

Yeah, it seems like he totally erase the memory of Cade winning the Cuse game

No, he's not playing the counterfactual of 'If we play Cade then...' he's just saying 'without DJ's play we wouldn't have won the Atlantic'. It's a way of softening the blow of losing the job. Nothing more.

I counter with…without DJ, we have Cade. So the statement alone would indicate we wouldn’t have won the division with Cade. At best it’s a poorly arguable statement, if not flat out wrong.

Yeah, I'm not so much arguing the counterfactual (I think if we start Cade after Syracuse we're in the playoff) as saying what I think Dabo is doing.

But what he stated IS a counterfactual . . .

According to his statement, w/o DJ, Clemson doesn't win the division. This means, of logical necessity, that if anyone other than DJ is the starting QB (not limited to, but including Cade) then Clemson doesn't win it. So yeah, he **did** "say" that.
That said, I think it's probably the case of Dabo just speaking imprecisely. I **think,** what he was trying to say was that DJ, despite losing the starting job, still contributed to the championship season and deserves credit for that contribution. And of course- that is true.
I think he's over-eager to harmonize the un-harmonizeable. But it could be that he just meant that DJ played a part, too. I've been really critical of Dabo on this issue, and I still am, but I don't want to be dishonest or pedantic when he probably didn't mean to say that we couldn't have won it with Cade.

Are you saying the guy who just went 20/24 (including two drops since we like to point those out) for 280 yards, and 2TDs in less than 3 quarters couldn’t have pulled that off?

YOur boy DJ kept a lot of other players off the field this year. We saw the bench cleared in this game because of Cade. Sleep on that tonight.

If I were Dabo I would have pulled him. But I'm not going to denigrate Dabo for sticking up for a player who has taken more crap with absolute class than ant player in my 50+ years around Clemson football

Credit without bringing up DJ or ND every single time you get asked about him.

Cade’s our starter.
I’d go to war with Dabo any day. he isn’t going to throw DJ under the bus, nor should he.

As long as he didn’t name DJ your commanding officer because he gave you the best chance to win.

Dog gone so many looking in the rear view mirror. We have a future! I hate USC, but maybe that game was a wake-up call. We have their number going forward, just have faith!
We have a lot to look forward to.
Cade, Vizzina and company for the future!
Bring it on!

No Sleep for Dabo Tonight
Dec 4, 2022, 12:25 AM
|

I mean, if YOU lost respect for him, he surely is in tears! Look thru the alcohol induced fog - we won! Dabo is taking care of his players with class and dignity, as he promises every recruit’s parents. He was building up DJ, not answering to the dim bulbs like you. Go Tigers, go to bed whiners, and stop drinking so much as to think you are on Dabo’s list of concerns. I am sure he does not care what you think - at all.

There is no way that he honestly believes that. I always held Dabo as a person that told the truth, but he really is just a sales guy at the end of the day. He has done a lot of good at Clemson, but I cannot believe much of what he says anymore.
