Uiagalelei just made a better throw for the Chargers than he did at any time playing for FSU.  

how this dude was able to get on a roster for even a chance is mindblowing.  I have never been more wrong on a college football take in all my life than DJU.  I still can't wrap my head around how he can go from his college debut game.....to being what he was/is.

I thought that he received an unfair share of the blame when he was at Clemson.  Their offensive line didn't play well, and when he was benched, the offensive production didn't improve significantly.  Of course Klubnik was better overall and they did the right thing by naming him the starter.  But DJ wasn't as bad as Clemson fans think he was, he just wasn't Watson/Lawrence level.  And DJU had a fairly good year at Oregon St.  He was awful at FSU.  

It will be interesting to see what happens to him now.  And funny if he makes the team.

DJU was bad.  But he also just flat out never fit Clemson's offensive scheme and that was the BIGGEST issue.  It was always round peg/square hole.  DJU didn't fit the mold of what Clemson does offensively.   And love them or hate them, Clemson does what Clemson does.  

DJU never officially got benched.  But in practical terms they did finally bench him for the ACC Championship Game and Cade made a big difference then.  Always felt like over loyal Dabo had made him a promise that he would never bench him (DJU technically did everything the right way).  Which would have been very Dabo-ish.   DJU officially got every game he was at Clemson.  Dabo pulled the trigger after the first possession in the ACC Title Game and it was largely understood DJU was done there (his side wanted out).  Agreement met I guess. 

but I always said, DJU felt like a throw back traditional QB being asked to run college junk while at Clemson.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
