Always thought he had so many x-factors

Tajh wasn't flawless in any fundamental area of the QB position, but he was great at so many of those parts & his toughness was an absolute x-factor. He often could find a way to win big games on his own shoulders, certainly more often than many QB's (again, largely because of his relentless toughness).
It wouldn't have surprised me at all if he had ended up with a great career in the NFL, & it's just as unsurprising the league didn't find a long-term place for him (particularly at the NY Jets & where they were at the time & for many years since). The league, to me, is still such an odd mess of elite talent on the field and immensely varying "talent" at the same level off the field. College football just plain makes more sense for me from top to bottom, & Tajh is a living CFB legend.

If any Clemson Tiger fan, or any fan of FB ever doubted Tajh Boyd's toughness, then they couldn't have watch the Clemson/LSU in the 2012 Chick Fil' A Bowl game. LSU tried every illegal hit they could bring to try and knock Tajh out the game, and Tajh kept getting up ready for the next play. At near the end of that game, LSU had been physically whipped, and it showed!!!!

Bc he was never given a legitimate chance in the NFL, and I believe that without a doubt in my heart, or mind!!!

Tajh never gets the recognition he deserves, especially outside of Clemson.

I will always think of, and see Tajh Boyd as one of the very best duel threat QBs to have ever played FB for our Clemson Tigers, and He was the most important player that helped to get the Dabo Swinney winning era started as an Elite FB program!!!
