Clemson has the most talented roster in the ACC.   And these are some of the best QB prospects any team in the nation can land.  Whatever the talent advantage has been is still in play. 

Clemson has really one issue.  It’s the passing game.  Everything else is in place and has been.  And it’s clearly a coaching/scheme issue.  Because it’s 5 star QBs looking like D3 backups.   Got to think it’s Dabo thumbprint of how they are managing the QB/pass game.   It’s all the same offense on repeat even with Riley, 

Dabo has failed to adjust to the NIL era. Wants to sign a certain type of kid, doesn’t want to embrace transfers. Ran off the better option at QB. It’s all centered around Dabo and the high school program he wants to run. Has his kids on the team when they clearly aren’t D1 athletes. He won with elite talent and then he stopped recruiting it.

BOOM, that's how we do it!! @4corners you ready to get some? Leonard is coming for you. Better then Howell or Maye

Great game by Duke, defended the pass pretty damn well (pass rush/secondary), out coached and all out hustle. Leonard made some plays, especially the 44 yard TD run… HOWEVER, let’s not get carried away putting him above or at the level of Maye or Howell. That’s just flat out trolling… lol!!

Klubnik was the top QB of his signing year and 3rd overall prospect 

It's just not working and that's not uncommon.  Because dj uiagalelei was also #1 QB and #3 overall and wasn't good either. 

You don't get more elite than landing two top QB prospects in a row. But that guarantees nothing.

Yeah, much of his success came from recruiting and relying on his coordinators to run the game. Personally, I’ve never considered him a great coach and apparently the NFL agrees, but that’s just my opinion.

DJ was actually pretty damn good last year. The narrative surrounding him was bad and Dabo helped feed that narrative. DJ put up better numbers last year than Will Levis and Anthony Richardson

Clemson has absurd talent vs the rest of the ACC.   That's just a fact. 

Poor QB play is just as big of a game changer as great QB play.   That's the issue.  Not recruiting.  Not talent. 

and DJU and Cade were both the #1 QB recruits in the entire nation of their classes.  You can't recruit better than the #1 QB of a class.   He didn't stop recruiting talent. Dabo has them instantly looking like middle schoolers. 

and it certainly appears Dabo has just put his thumbprint on this O to a fault.  I can call the plays ahead of time.  It's been that way for years.  So you know a college defense can figure it out.    

Clemson went 11-3 last year with arguably THE worst QB play in all the power 5.  Was pretty much the same the year prior too.   Clemson can pull off those great bad years with no QB play.....because the talent in Clemson isn't comparable elsewhere in the ACC

Cade was a 5 star and the #1 overall QB of his class. 

DJU was a 5 star and the #1 overall QB of his class. 

Clemson most definitely has problems.  This recruiting angle just doesn't fly.  Clemson's worst recruiting class in the last 4 years was a still a top 10 class.  No one in the ACC is close to their classes. 

He hasn't stopped recruiting talent.  Clemson wins that contest in the ACC in a landslide.  Has he lost the ability to evolve his offense going forward without a best in all of college football caliber QB? I think that is it.  Cade was doing the same predictable junk he had DJU doing.    QB play, bad or good, is just too big of a difference maker.

Some recruits just don't work out. UNC landed the #1 CB recruit in the country s couple of years ago in Tony Grimes. He just turned out to not be good. It happens. #1 prospects at their position in the NFL draft bust too.

It's what makes DJ at Oregon State interesting to me. If he plays well and Klubnik struggles it's really going to point the finger at Clemson as the root issue. When the #1 prospect at his position goes to the same school and they both bust that's probably not a coincidence.

It just seems like something is happening at Clemson that they're losing confidence in their QB and in turn killing the confidence of their QB. The play calling tonight screamed they didn't trust Klubnik throwing the ball and he never looked comfortable out there to my eyes.

I mean, these are kids but they're not dumb. They've been playing and watching football their whole lives. They know when the play caller isn't showing confidence in them and that's gotta effect your head.

I agree.    D J Uiagalelei  and the current QB Cabe Klubnik.  They aren't  Watson, Lawrence , Tajh Boyd. Wide receivers haven't looked of NFL quality .  I think the there defense will come around, but that offense has a lot of work unless they wear Will Shipley out. ( 45 touches. )

I do not  think R Leonard is as good as  D Mayes..   but he is ranked/ rated  as one of the top QB's in the country.  Just think if  Sam Hartman was still at Wake Forest..    It would be a possibility of 3 ACC QB's drafted in the first round ..

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
