Can you guys stop posting coaches and player quotes?

Yes of course Randall thinks our receiver group is going to be great

What the he** are they supposed to say? The coaches too.

They’ve been saying they were great for the last 4 years and nothing changes.

Please stop putting importance on what they say and posting it on the main page. Their words mean nothing if the actions don’t line up.

To be clear, I do think the receiver group is going to improve. Westco looks fantastic. We’ll see TJ Moore later. Antonio Williams looked great.

And They may be special.

But let’s focus on asking them questions that actually inform us on what they’re doing to improve. Because they have not been special or as good as they say they are the last few years.

But

1) Players are supposed to say good things about the team

2) Words don’t freakin’ matter


It’s annoying

Not really??

The point of the site is to give insider info and for us all to discuss whatever we feel like

That’s not related to the staff posting nonsense.

I want to SEE it.

Why would you post a receiver quote when he said his group was “special”

Every player for every team everywhere is going to express positivity about their team. It’s expected.

No Clemson player will speak the truth if it will hurt the team’s mentality.

So what’s the point in making it news when a Clemson player does?

If poasting player and coaches quotes aren't insider information, then I don't know what I'd. We don't have spies to rely on... we have reporters.
I want to see it on the field as well, but until football season begins we have to get information anywhere we can.
Go Tigers!!!

You can get better info man. They could’ve asked more about the actual offensive scheme or what have you. Not just simply, “Hey you think you’ve got a good receiver group?” Lol

I watched the interview. These young players are definitely more, how can I say this, timid and superficial with their responses.

Their minds are programmed to spew out good things about the team, coaches, and everything.

I am not saying I don’t believe them. It just

Also this was stated in the article, “ There are promising signs that Wesco will also be able to elevate Clemson back to its previous WRU status.”

Let’s pump the brakes here good Lord!! Again, these writers are providing what Saban likes to call “rat poison”.

There is no need to care about Clemson being WRU lol. There is a need for simple improvement.

Some of these writers think that Clemson is still at the top of the mountain, and think that these quotes conform to it.

I don’t care what anybody thinks or says, they’ve got to go show it on the field.

And as far as I’m concerned, our team has been average. Barely. I know we still got 10 wins, but obviously the performance is not there.

Dabo and his outward support for Cade and DJ showed loyalty, and every trait in the book. I love Dabo and wouldn’t choose anybody else to be a QB for.

But at what point do the players begin to know that you’re plain lying? Or just spitballing? And not meaning what you say?

I just spent 10 minutes looking for it, and I didn't find it. I found plenty of articles from last summer with Dabo raving about our receivers and how amazing they are and how many points they will score.

https://www.si.com/college/clemson/football/dabo-swinney-shares-his-thoughts-on-clemsons-wide-receiver-group

https://theclemsoninsider.com/2023/10/01/swinney-really-excited-about-where-clemson-is-at-wr/

Hopefully this suffices for now.

Regardless, the point still stands: Dabo overhypes pretty much everything, so we should take his words and guarantees with a grain of salt.

Dude they posted the link twice.

Here’s the copied quote from the article

Swinney said. “But this is on paper the fastest team we’ve had, we had the most guys that we’ve ever had run more than 20 miles per hour. This is also probably the most accountable team we’ve had in about the last six or seven years. But it all goes back to being healthy.”



Now this is a little different than saying the group is special. Just because they’re fast doesn’t make them great.

Even though it should be and there’s still da** issues with our WR coach!

We did have Nate Wiggins, and some other guys. But I really don’t think it was lol.

So he’s telling us the group last year was faster than 2019? 2018? With Travis Etienne, Adam Randall, etc. ?

It’s wild



You always saw Nick Saban be blunt and truthful about his team’s performance.


Dabo has 2 titles, and uncountable accomplishments for Clemson. His way is going to be stuck with.

But he’s not creating accountability by talking how he’s talking. And how he tells his players to talk.



One thing though, making your players talk this way does abbots issues of media attention and all those weird things players at other places will say.

At Clemson, we have a way about doing and saying things. With respect for ourselves and others.

But you don’t have to post the most obvious opinion of a Clemson receiver. Lord

“It all starts with Beaux Collins, and Antonio (Williams), and Cole (Turner), Adam (Randall), and (Brannon) Spector,” Swinney said. “Those five guys I think really give us a special group. And then we added Noble Johnson, and Ronan Hanafin, and Tink Kelley, and Tyler Brown, guys that really bring a lot to the table. So we’ve got depth, and we’ve got just a room full of speed and athleticism.”


The WR group is obviously what he is referring to the most. And this quote verifies that.
