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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
