Love how it’s 3 weeks from game 1 of the regular season and we are talking about naming our starting QB and OL and letting them gel. Really setting these guys up for success.

Unfortunately rhule thinks he’s still in the big 12 circa 2016 🤷‍♂️

Lol, you guys just don't get it. 

This decision was already made long before now and the team already knew it. All the signs were there if you read body language and other signs like RA asking Baker for extra reps. He already knew.

The reason for this fake QB competition is simple. 

FREE PUBLICITY!!!

It's called marketing. It is a business and like all businesses advertising is important. Free advertising is priceless. 

Can you not see how many shows and articles were about the Panthers specifically BECAUSE of this so-called competition? We were talked about by everyone for weeks on all the major and minor shows. That's free advertising. 

It's genius if you are smart enough to see it. If not I can't help you. I can only lead you to water. I can't make you drink it.

There's good marketing and bad marketing. Making yourself look like a clown show is bad marketing.

Outside of Bozeman's injury and potentially LG, the starting OL is actually set.  Ickey, BC/Jordan, Bozeman, Corbett and Moton.  I don't think Brown, Tecklenburg, Horton or Erving is pushing for a starting spot.  Elflein may get the nod at center until Bozeman is healthy again.  Mays is good depth but isn't taking Corbett of Moton's job on the right side.  Camp competition is over, let the 1's all run together and get some continuity.

So, if I understand your theory correctly, we took away valuable training camp reps from our starter in order to get talked about on stuff like GMFB?

That doesn't seem like a real smart idea.

You know a great way to get all those shows to talk about you long after the doldrums of the offseason? Winning.

Hey it worked for the My Pillow guy really well didn't it. Any publicity is good for business.

Except you're wrong. The only ones calling us a clown show are around here. Many of those shows were talking about our improved roster and how Baker could take this teams to the playoffs. That's good marketing. It's genius.

Dabo just sits around and comes up w/ corny nonense and sells the hell out of it.  Somehow it works.  I no longer question how it does.    It's a mystery I quit debating long ago.  

and Dabo would be an utter failure as a NFL coach.  Yet is a modern day college GOAT.   His strengths don't translate.  And that's okay.  I still say Rhule is a knock off Dabo. 

I'm curious to see how things go with Venables leaving. IMO, he was the best football mind on that staff. Dabo can flat out recruit his ass off so I don't think Clemson is going to the dregs anytime soon but I wonder if they're still going to be perennial national title contenders minus Venables.

I'm curious in the bigger picture.  Clemson does a good job of having guys learn underneath to take over. 

Clemson's DL talent this year is great.  Pending they stay healthy, anyone should look good with that talent.  It will be interesting if they can get guys in without Venables and what the new guy does with his own recruits.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
