For those of you who are unhappy with the direction

of the program. Football is cyclical and you folks have short memories.

Deshaun Watson era - first round draft pick, won one title and was part of a three year cycle that saw us in 2 playoffs. His freshman year he came into the FSU game when it was tied and lost the game. One of the greatest to ever wear the uniform finished 10-3 that year. A calamitous outcome by today’s appraisal.

Kelly Bryant Era - CFP playoff, made a final, but this fanbase demonized him for not being Watson. Ended abruptly in year 2.

Trevor Lawrence - overtook KB. Three straight CFPs. #1 overall draft pick. 2 CFP Finals. 1 National championship.

DJU - the lowest season average qbr for a Clemson qb, not just since Watson but since Kyle Parker’s broken rib 2010 6-7 season. By all appearances the pounding he took against Georgia permanently rattled him.

Cade - his abilities are obviously improving with every game. A true sophomore who is developing rapidly and it’s reflected in his numbers.

Anybody that thought we were gonna make the playoff’s in perpetuity just because of the head coach’s salary was off their rocker. We might have limped into the CFP with DJU last year. But we all know that would have been the end of the line. Cade is starting to look like a qb that can win those kind of games.

2-3 transfers/year would have filled holes in the roster and put us in the playoffs.

Instead, we are going to struggle to win 8 games.

Cade played great, despite having one of the worst WR cores in the conference. I can only imagine how good he would be with good WRs.

Cade can’t play great without good receiver play. Maybe our wide receivers are starting to look better because they finally have a legit qb throwing to them after 2 years of highly suspect qb play.

Beaux is fine. We all love Tyler. Stellato showed us something. Hopefully Antonio heals up quick.

Adam Randall and Brannon Spector are terrible.

This is a bad WR core. And it has been since Grisham took over for Jeff.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If you dont know you shouldnt fake it.


Sep 28, 2023, 6:59 AM

The most productive receiving season in Clemson history was Grishams first year.

Then two years of DJ. Obviously he was the primary reason for a less productive receiver group.

Now, Cade. New system, new coach. We’re distributing the ball to many, many receivers and the production is coming back.

You’re both wrong. You and pheebo need to get a room where you can whisper sweet nothings to each other.

FIXED IT FOR YOU
In reality: never made a CFP final as a starter, lost in the semis(8 men in the box shut the down the run due to KB's inaccuracy as a passer) lost QB1 job to incoming true FR ,#1 hs player overall and generational talent: Trevor Lawrence, nearly divided team and was on the cusp of becoming a serious locker room cancer before transferring out-thank God

That 2017 team won despite KB. He managed to throw for 13 TDS in 13 games lol. And he managed that while throwing to Hunter Renfrow, Deon Cain, Ray Ray McCloud, Tee Higgins, and Amari Rodgers. We would have made the playoffs the previous three seasons with that WR core. Our defense was great and the conference was terrible.

Last year and went to the portal. But you guys demonize deon sanders for doing that exact thing in Colorado. When someone gets hurt and ends their career but Dabo honors their scholarship so they can stay in school he’s a hero but now y’all want him to throw that guy out and go to the portal. Hunter Renfrow would have been cut if we did what everyone says and didn’t give walk on’s a scholarship. I would like to see us get some portal guys but Dabo is not going to promise a starting job before they step on campus and that’s what they want. Then y’all will b!tch and moan when the portal guys we get are second stringers from some less than worthy team. It’s all just so hypercritical it’s ridiculous.

He had the top kicker in the class and 2 under class kickers and a veteran kicker departed because his command over the postion seemed so certain. Exactly what credible kicker was looking to portal in as a backup. Your ideas have no merit.

When things are going bad, the Transfer Portal is the first thing on player’s minds and there’s nothing to stop them with the money to transfer being dangled in front of them.

We can only hope that Cade has more character than that attitude. From what I have seen, Cade seems to have the character to stay.

If you’re going to hold all our players at that level (generational talent) then you’re out of your skull.

In the previous 2 seasons we’re 5th in P5 wins.

In the previous 3 seasons we’re 4th in P5 wins.

We lost 5 games in two seasons and suddenly we’re in a free fall? Gimme a break. No teams remain at the very top )like we did with Bama) every single year.

Sometimes you basically lose two years with substandard QB play, and STILL miss the playoffs by one win last year.

The big thing in the last 4 losses was (ad nauseum) Clemson beating Clemson, that’s the bottom line.

So yeah, we had the DJ era and two crazy games this year where we beat ourselves. It’s easy to see we could be 4-0 based on not making our mistakes.

So no, we have suddenly turned to crap because of any adaption issues or the coaches. It’s a cyclical thing combined with us screwing the pooch in the redzone.

QB held the ball too long and corner blitz separated him from the ball for a scoop and score. QB threw multiple times into double coverage and should have had 3 picks, Threw the ball when should have been running the ball to run out the clock and win.

Because coaches make decisions that don’t work in every game. When you’re losing those decisions get microanalyzed and people start screaming about portals and incest. The difference was we had qbs that could play us out of deficits. Everyone acting like Venables never played prevent. It’s stupid. Are qb was not playoff worthy the last two years. Are first year starter (not counting 2 games last year) deserves time to grow into the role. Todays performance was the best qb we’ve seen since sometime before Lawrence’s LSU game. DJU’s one highlight reel game against Wake is not worthy of comparison today.

for us to win. We out played FSU in every part of the game. Today came down to coaching. When you go 3-down, it doesnt matter how many 5* you have on D. When you go conservative and settle for a FG, it doesnt matter who you have on O. We coached scared and not to lose rather than cutting the guys loose for the full 60-minutes. I think we were good enough to look like a playoff team today and got held back.

Re: Best QB performance based on what exactly? Certainly not QBR


Sep 25, 2023, 8:42 AM

Cade threw for 283 yards against FSU. In two full seasons as a starter, DJU threw for more than that once - against WF (since that was the one game I used as a caveat it should be pretty obvious I wasn’t comparing Cade to Lawrence and simply meant to say Ohio State / not LSU). Cade completed 65.8% of his passes, a figure bested by DJU 3 times in two seasons against FBS opponents. The 11.34 yards per catch would rank as 7th best of DJU’s career at Clemson but is better than any performance against a ranked opponent. So, you can focus on my mistake about which opponent was Trevor’s last or acknowledge that I was correct about the improving quality of our qb play. Pretty sure which direction you’ll go. But since you think you know the play calls better than our head coach I’m not gonna take it personally.

Dabo is paid commiserate with his accomplishments. The constant references to his salary just seem petty and jealous. Our staff are compensated commiserate with their experience. Our overall staff budget wasn’t even in the top 10 last year. Can’t find numbers for this year yet. We went big on an oc from outside the program. Apparently that’s not working either. And our defense is top 10 and will still be there after today. These emotional attacks aren’t grounded in anything.

Excerpt that the “walk on grant program” is a complete fallacy:

https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/#####/?Institution=24096


There is an argument to be made that tranfers, post-Covid eligibility requirements, bring more immediate value to a team. But that is already contracting as the pool of bonus eligibility shrinks every year and with the implementation of a season of ineligibility for FBS 2nd time transfers. But you are not making that argument - you’re just regurgitating stuff you’ve heard but don’t understand. If makes you someone feel better to think that you have a better grasp of the state of college football than the lazy rich man who is ruining your team. It’s pathetic and you wouldn’t tolerate such idiocy in any part of your life that actually mattered.

But there’s no guarantee of staying on top, even after you establish yourself on top. It requires relentless commitment to being elite. And not complacently saying well we used to suck and now we’re spoiled expecting to stay there. Staying is a commitment, and does not allow room for promoting friends and family.

No, but today’s performance was actually more encouraging, despite the loss, than anything we’ve since then. The Duke game was a major concern because here was the 2nd new qb since our CFP run who looked really bad in his season debut as starter. But he’s gotten better every week and against the best competition he has faced yet he had the best game of his career. Something about babies and bath water.

No, that sucks. And I know you can read so I know that you know that wasn’t my point. The DJU era sucked. It’s now the Cade era. I do t think it’s fair to make the CFP the minimum expectation in his first full season as a starter. There were plenty of signs today that Garrett Riley is making progress, that Cade is making progress, and that receivers are making progress. The turnovers and FG issues are ugly but don’t really relate to the most common complaints being swung around here. I feel better today than I did after the Duke game. Would I rather have won? Sure, at 4-1 with a win over #4 FSU we’d all think we were on our way back this season. But if we keep seeing progress like this each week we’re going to see a pretty freaking great team by the end of the year.
