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.

Yeah but is he accurate..... 

? I saw 4-5 old miss games last year and i was never impressed....  

I think he is accurate enough, the issue with him is transitioning to the nfl from that wonky ass offense.  He made some nice throws on Sat.  He needs to sit all year for sure

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.

      Predictions from observer staff on game today

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Game predictions All three of our predictors guessed last week that the Panthers would lose to the Miami Dolphins. All were wrong. That moves Fowler to 4-1 on the year, with Kaye and Zietlow each at 1-4. Fowler: Panthers 30, Dallas 27. The Cowboys are known for playing entertaining games this season due to a high-powered offense and low-level defense. I think Carolina pulls the mild upset here, with Bryce Young playing about as well as Dak Prescott and Carolina’s running game providing the difference. Bonus prediction: Tetairoa McMillan scores his first NFL TD. Kaye: Cowboys 33, Panthers 30.  The top offense in the league is likely to come out firing on Sunday, as Dallas looks to get over the .500 hump after five games (including one tie). Will the Panthers be able to keep pace? I actually think they will, for the most part. There’s a lot of boom-or-bust to the Cowboys’ defense, and while the unit is starting to find its footing, I think Bryce Young will still have a good afternoon. Look for Tetairoa McMillan to catch his first touchdown pass in a shootout. But I still think Dallas has a better brand of ball at the moment.   Zietlow: Cowboys 35, Panthers 31.                    I look at the Cowboys’ league-worst third-down percentage as a defense and can’t help but feel some optimism. Tag that with the other opportunities this defense could allow for Bryce Young, and a motivated Rico Dowdle, and a refreshed Xavier Legette ... and there’s excitement, for sure. Still, the Cowboys have gone toe-to-toe with the NFL’s best this season. Their quarterback is electric. Their tight end is prolific. Their defensive secondary is due for one of its patented turnover bonanzas. And to top it all off ... the Panthers will have a “home field advantage” in name only. There will be a lot of Cowboys fans in the crowd. A lot. It just doesn’t add up to a Panthers win to me. I’m rolling with America’s Team.
