Cade just needs to

"manage the game". My guess is as a seven year old he loved Spiderman and Batman and wanted to stop crime like them and save the world. He probably grips his electric toothbrush instead of finge3r-tip control letting it do the work. Stop trying to save the program, win the game on one play, and purge Tiger Nation of DJU's shortcomings in one series. As Wooden used to say, "If you're a Ford, be the best Ford you can be. Don't try to be a Lincoln." (He was talking about fancy the car at the time, not the former president).
I see these things happening as he learns that he can't control everything, stays within his boundaries of abilities, gets the ball to his playmakers and lets them make the plays.
He's obviously a winner who gives a hundred percent all the time. If he follows these principles, opens his eyes up to the playmakers he has in space, and listens to his coaches, we'll see the rise of Clemson football in short time.

It has been obvious within the last 2 years that if we had a QB that could just not help the other team, we would’ve been in the playoffs at least one of the 2 years between 2021 and 2022.
I expect Cade to be a productive QB for us, so this may not apply. But truly, if DJ simply provided a good level of play consistently, we would’ve been in.
And by good level, I mean a QB that can simply get the ball to the receivers at the right time, and accurately.
If our defense is at its expected level of play, all we NEED is a “good” QB with “good” receivers. That is to make the CFP, especially a 12-team CFP.
But..If Clemson wants to have future national championships, an elite level of QB and rest of offense is needed. And that is what Dabo wants. He has expectations for national championships because he knows he can do it.
Rambling, but we don’t need a Trevor to get to a playoff, which is what us fans should want, we just need a good one.

So you mean that 8-29 passing is not quite good? Hopefully Cade can do a little bit better to get us another 2 points and we are back in the CFP.

From his perspective, just clean up his game... the mesh with #1 in the Duke game cost us a score. The rest was on the backs... one on #7 (fumble) and one on #1 (missed pass resulting in an int), CSU game the fumble was on the center and not on him, it was another comedy of errors... center snaps it left, and just as Cade gets the ball the back runs into him and knocks the ball loose... the interception was all on him. Glad he got that out of his system (well I hope it's out of his system).
Duke schemed to take away everything past 10 yards... they dropped 7 most every play. If not for the self-inflicted wounds we likely win that game by 2 scores... but we did not play a clean game and it cost us.
Lots to look forward to this week and next...
