Bowl Game's thread, Draft Prospects

I am not a Clemson fan, but everyone should be reminded that of all the teams in the playoffs Clemson lost the most experience to the NFL last year.  Experience does matter.

That being said, I believe it levels the playing field for OSU and makes LSU the prohibitive favorites for the National Championship.

Settling for three FGs in the red zone very well might bite OSU in the ass. Had they finished drives this game would've already been all but over.

I agree, but in fairness, they were kind of forced to settle. Clemsons defense can't handle them in the open field, but in the more confined areas, they are doing fairly well.

 I don't care about Clemson winning or not.   But there are several elements that get the targeting call.

The OSU player lead with the helmet.  

Litterally by that same play and explanation 

All you have to do is duck your head and draw the contact to the helmet causing a ejection

Twice, but Fields just missed Dobbins on what should've been an easy TD and was nearly a great catch by Dobbins.

    • Ill just be happy if Tepper doesnt make another locker room appearance the rest of the season. 
    • The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.    
    • We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
