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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
