Boyd hitting the fast lane

Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd said life has been going by fast since the Meineke Car Care Bowl, and he knows it is about to get a lot faster. Full Story »

agree 100%! Very excited to see so much enthusiasm! Let's all get to the Spring Game and get behind these boys!

he had tears in his eyes after the loss to USF


Feb 11, 2011, 2:12 PM

showed that he cared and wants this team to succeed.

(of course if he played for USC it would mean he is a baby)

I'm as big a fan of Tajh as anyone, but I just don't


Feb 11, 2011, 2:47 PM

get the most confident feeling in the world just from this article. Basically sounds like a college athlete who's trying to juggle all his responsibilities, and hasn't gotten a ton of direction or input yet from the new staff. I expect that will change, but it's a good reminder that we are starting from scratch this season, and should temper our expectations accordingly.

I give him all the credit in the world for reaching out to Morris's old players. That shows some serious initiative and maturity.

What that sounded like was a College kid who's also an athlete managing his time very well.

He's studying for his classes
He's talking to his team mates to build a closer relationship.
He's losing weight to become more agile
He's throwing everyday to his team mates to build chemistry
He's building a relationship with his new OC
He's weight training also


Now if you get a chance... go on the other site and read what Shaq Anthony said about working out everyday, calling all the new recruits almost everyday and etc.

That in itself should be indicative of the fact that these kids are really "All In" to the program.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

like I said.....juggling his responsibilities. If that


Feb 11, 2011, 9:43 PM

phrasing made it sound like I thought he was doing it poorly, it wasn't the intent.

I have complete faith in Tajh as well, but I think there will be some growing paons this next season. I fully expect Tajh to leave Clemson one of the all time greats though. I really do. he will have absolutely hge jr and sr years where he breaks plenty of passing records. I firmly believe that. The future is bright for this kid, but he is learning.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Might as well start the Heisman campaign now.


Feb 11, 2011, 11:06 PM

Boyd for Heisman!!!!!

Tajh Boyd is The Real Deal


Feb 11, 2011, 4:26 PM

I like to think I got a small advantage when it comes to Tajh, I have developed a relationship with his parents especially his father, since we work together. I have spoken with Tajh numerous times and what I have found thru this contact is....... He is straight out a hard worker and definitely a mature young man. I have no doubt he (thru this hard work) will be successful. He is as fired up about this season as any one of us Clemson Fanatics and with the weapons that he is going to be surrounded with he will prove himself more than viable. Let me say one more thing to all the naysayers and those that believe he will fail, keep it coming because believe me he is aware of you and believe me when I say he will make you swallow that negativity when it is all said and done. I for one am a believer and this QB will lead this team to a Championship before he leaves CU!!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That wasn't meant as a diss on him.


Feb 13, 2011, 6:15 AM

I would love for him to put up those Heisman numbers on the field, and I think he has the heart of a champion. Now he just needs to win where it counts on the field.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: That wasn't meant as a diss on him.


Feb 14, 2011, 2:23 AM

I did not think your post was negative at all. I only meant the people who automatically judge him on the little bit of playing time he has had so far. I know this young man will never quit and is driven to be successful by all the negativity. I honestly cannot wait for the season to start.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I really like Boyd! Saw some great things in SC & USF games


Feb 11, 2011, 3:45 PM

...like when he tried to run for 1st down against Coots, and didn't blink or slide in when getting hit.

And, of course his firing two straight TD's in last minutes in bowl into traffic in end zone.

Would have liked to have had that 2nd on-side kick back so to see what he'd done in last seconds as far as hitting another TD for win.

Go TIGERS & GO TB!

Is this some kind of joke?


Feb 11, 2011, 5:53 PM

He almost got murdered against SCar because he had absolutely no feel for the rush or the pursuit. If he gets hurt the Tigers have around zero chance of a winning season next year.

Re: Boyd hitting the fast lane


Feb 11, 2011, 4:29 PM

I just get sick and tired of all the rhetoric. "He said our tongues are going to be wagging..." or whatever it was- I seriously doubt the team was in that bad of shape last year at this time and wouldn't have been able to keep up with the "Smash Mouth Spread" (another great catch phrase I'll have to read over and over as if all the other spread teams in the country are pansies and don't try to smash people in the mouth. No coach tells his players 'we are going to run and spread really soft and easy and just try to tip toe into the endzone').

I actually gained confidence from Boyd's quotes. Sounds like they are doing the right things and asking the right questions.

I was a little discouraged at the 230 weight but not surprised. I am not sure what he is listed at, 6'1 I think, but I would guess more like 5'11 at best. Getting more mobile is a good idea for ANY player, not just the QB.

I am going on hoping the incoming freshman can step up quickly and get this thing going again. I am very optimistic.

Re: Boyd hitting the fast lane


Feb 11, 2011, 5:02 PM

I too am pumped for next year's team, but we need to temper our expectations. These kids will need time to grow up to become truly great players. We fans need to keep things in perspective and not have a knee jerk reaction if one of the LB's blows a play next year. It's still a big jump from HS to D1 football. From the recruiting videos I've seen, it looks like we will have talent at the CJ Spiller level coming in on both sides of the ball. Tajh just needs to get accurate and complete the easy pass. Let them boys run!!!!

Re: Boyd hitting the fast lane


Feb 11, 2011, 6:03 PM

Talent at the CJ level on both sides of the ball? Man, how soon some of you taters forget how great a college player Spiller was. Temper those expectations son, it will serve you well next year if things don't pan out.
