Yep. It's time to see what he does against equal or at least near equal talent.

People have definitely not been talking about how INSANELY easy the Ohio State's schedule has been this year. 

Not trying to take anything away from Stroud per se but playing the sisters of the poor every week does factor in.

Some of us have said OSU has had an easy schedule, but most just see Stroud's highlight plays and drool over them and his measurables.

You know he played Michigan last year? We already know what he can do against them. They also had Hutchinson and Stroud was sacked 6 times. 34/49 394 yards 2 TDs and 0 INTs. He played decent, Michigan just lit up his defense with 42 points.

That was then, this is now. People can regress or improve. He hasn't reacted well to rushers the few times that's happened or if his first read isn't open all season, so let's see what happens today.

He is extremely talented and I have zero issue drafting him, for the record.

As I said in one of the earlier Stroud threads, if he's the pick, I'll hope for the best.

I certainly hope so. The Heels desperately need Clemson to lose this game. If they have any hopes of a playoff berth the officiating in the ACC CG will do whatever they need to do to ensure Clemson wins that game. The Chiefs wouldn't beat Clemson in Charlotte next week if Clemson wins today.

I think NFL wide receivers would have made a bunch of those catches. Even folks who hate the Gators on Reddit had to admit the WRs could not have played any worse. 

I heard five of AR’s main receivers were out for that game 

that probably explains a lot 

I saw enough to know the guy is the real deal 

no worries though, ‘Panthers are gonna Panther’  and Levis, Blaine Gabbert part 2,  will be the pick 

my head will explode

pending DJU doesn’t sabotage things (which he is known to try).  I think odds are high we are throwing up the 8 after today.  DJU IMO is the game.  Bad game, Carolina can win.  And if he has a bad game, it almost has nothing to do with opponents to a degree.  If DJU is playing relatively well for DJ, Clemson should handle things easily IMO.

It'll come completely down to Satterfield like every other game has this year. 
Our defense is just OK.  Still think we're a couple years away from being quality. Linebacker play has been less than ideal. Encouraged by the secondary given how many freshman have come in at safety. 

I don't think i can stomach watching another game where the offense just runs into a brick wall over and over and throws tunnel screens the rest of the time. Can make mediocre teams look all world. See Florida,Mizzou. 

Obviously Tenn was just a perfect storm. But if the offense shows up today and the defense does what it normally does i think we may have our first competitive game in forever.

I think it will be more competitive than the last couple.  Clemson just isn’t explosive like in previous years.  But I thought that last year too. 

Will be interesting to see what SC does.   Carolina fans seem to want some Rattler air assault but that also means lots of opportunities for the Clemson DL to have shots to make plays vs an OL that has struggled all year.  

I think for Carolina to win DJ has to play bad and you need Beamer Ball to make some odd plays.  Some ST gambles or big plays there. I think too many are talking about Rattler and the O mimicking some of last week.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
