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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
