I mean this is borderline like cult poo guys.  It's one thing to root for a guy that's local.  Like Brandon Ingram playing for the Lakers, or Clowney or Lamm on the Texans, etc.  But the stadium was full of orange tonight of people rooting for a guy (Watson) that they've probably never said a word to.  And since when do people get jerseys of a college kid with the kid's name on the back of it??? How is that legal where do they get these jerseys?  Clemson football fans are fuging weird man they are a big school it's like Watson is the first NFL player they have ever had

Have you been to SC? They sell Clemson junk in grocery stores.

Oh I'm aware.  I still think it's weird how many Clemson fans showed up tonight wearing their obnoxious orange just to root for one player.  I've literally never seen that ever happen before.

Tools. The majority of them probably also claim to be Panthers fans but yet they showed up to a Panthers home game decked out in gear supporting a rival player. Should've worn a Panthers jersey and rocked a Clemson hat or something. That would've been an acceptable compromise.

In SC college football  is king...they are tigers first...

Yeah college football is pretty big here in SC. It is usually pretty split between Clemson and the Gamecocks with a slight edge going to Clemson in terms of how many people are fans of them. I personally am outside of the rivalry so if either local team makes it to the championship I'll go for them unless they are playing my Florida Gators. Pro football is next in the list though the state is pretty divided in terms of team. Panther fans have been on the rise thankfully, and for the most part have become the majority though a lot of the older people from before the Panthers existed still cling to teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, and even some Falcon fans in the areas near Georgia.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
