I'm still on the McCall bandwagon big time.  As bad as CCU got beat yesterday, McCall was the only bright spot.  He accounted for all 4 of their TDs and threw his only pick (2nd of the ENTIRE season) forcing a play on the last drive of the game to keep the score respectable.

Their defense was trash (gave up 31 first half points) and he was trying to will his team to an impossible comeback.  Dude was fiery on the sidelines while the rest of the team looked demoralized and already defeated.

He's got good size and the TD/INT ratio has been really good consistently for 3 years. That offensive scheme makes it really hard to gauge what he's actually capable of, at least from the one game I actually watched. It's like High School ball over there

TD/INT ratio is not good for McCall, it's freaking great!  Dude, it's 10:1 for his carrer!  Heck, most dudes around here drool over QBs with a 3:1 ratio.  If not for the blow out in that Troy game (zero defense from CCU) and him trying to force that last second TD (completely out of character to force a throw), it would be 24:1 this season, but alas, 12:1.

Anyway, yes CCU runs a version of the triple option.  Here's what I like about it. McCall is extremely good at play action and is athletic enough to keep the ball himself...even has a little wiggle.  Not often can a QB juke LBs and DBs, but he can do it.  He has 16 rushing TDs in his career.

What I don't like about the the offense he ran is he didn't often have to go past his first read.  He can and has, but usually the play action gave his first read single coverage and he's good enough to hit that guy unless completely blanketed.

I'd like to see how he looks in a an All-Star game in a pro style offense.  See how he handles pressure when there's no window dressing to confuse the defense and sit back in shotgun, read the defense and go through his progressions.   CCU did some of this in 3rd and long situations and McCall still seemed to play at a high level.

Not entirely sure he comes out. Some were speculating that he could follow Chadwell to Liberty but it actually looks like he’s sold on Tim Beck and may go back to Coastal. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that he’s for sure declaring for the draft.

Me neither, but it's just an assumption that since his HC is leaving, that he may jump ship. McCall really has nothing more to prove.  He already owns most, if not all, the QB records there.  The only reason I think he stays is to finish up college and stay with his team...while padding his records.

I seriously doubt he transfers to Liberty.  Chadwell will try like hell to make it happen though.  McCall got him that job.

Dang.  Prime Time's first meeting is telling the entire team to hit the portal.  That they trash and he bringing in his own luggage lol. 

 

If you watch the entire speech it isn’t as bad as that clip suggest. I think they posted that part just for the drama

As a Clemson fan: thank goodness

While he didn't have quite the weapons his predecessors have had this season, he just never seemed to put it all together consistently.

Really hope that Dabo starts recruiting an OL.

But why?  He was the #1 QB in the country coming out of HS.  I have some thoughts, but nothing definitive.  Clemson gets top 10, usually top 5 recruiting classes so the talent is falling off.

I'm more worried about the DL than OL

Cade was the #1 QB in the country coming out of HS too though.   Clemson has him.  Clemson is also adding the #6 QB this upcoming season to be behind Cade.   Not sure why DJ leaving is an argument the talent is falling off.   

DJU was horrible.  Just a physically talented kid that isn't actually good at playing QB. 

2022 class was top 10.  Clemson's 2023 class is presently rated as the #8.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
