I think he has to be. He is just too overall good. One guy may be faster, another taller or whatever but he just brings a strong game to ever aspect of being a WR.

I hope he goes first round because he deserves that kind of money. But if he goes second someone is going to get a steal.

Well deserved! I'd take Nuke over anyone. He just has the it factor that you can't teach and rarely find.

You can knock his speed but he does not lack

"athleticism"--that's just moronic. Agree with him being the best WR though...

As usual, the NFL does not seem to differentiate between speed and quickness. NUK has quickness and better than average speed. He is a possession receiver. Barring injury, he will be in the NFL for a long time. An additional thought, he is a QUALITY PERSON!! KICK BUTT, NUK!!

Nuk and Swope are the two WRs this draft I think are the best. Both have great hands and body control, and both are selfless team players who just get it done.

If you want to base NFL draft stock on the Chick-Fil-A Bowl then M. Goodman is going in the 1st round too.
IMHO, Nuk had nothing else to prove by coming back, but I will hold judgment on Dabo's reported advice until we see what the NFL teams actually do on draft day.

Dabo's advice at this time is silly. We don't really know where Nuk will go in the draft. Those NFL GMs and coaches some times make some crazy draft choices.

Bowers' draft stock suffered from degenerative knee problem
Mar 6, 2013, 1:29 PM
[ in reply to Perhaps you should wait to see where he is actually taken in ] |
|
NFL teams were afraid to invest in Bowers (with a high draft pick and a big, multi-year contract) because his degenerative knee ailment means that Bowers has an unusually small number of years to play. One more year of knee degeneration at Clemson would have hurt his draft stock even more.

I was opposed to promoting Dabo because I don't think Clemson should be a place for on-the-job training of an HC. At the time (and ever since) I've said that I think Dabo could learn to be a good head coach someday. Right now I'd give him a "B" or maybe a "B+". But he made a LOT of stupid, newbie mistakes in his early years. E.g. He hired Napier. He let Ellington & Jamie Harper decide how to split their carries. He favored more senior guys like Xavier Dye over spectacular freshmen, like Hopkins. Etc., etc., etc. He apparently learned from those mistakes. E.g. They started Watkins as a freshman from game 1.
I opposed promoting Dabo to do on-the-job training and pointed out his many newbie msitakes in previous years. But since Dabo has become a better coach through his on-the-job training, I've given almost no critique in the last year, right? One exception is the bad counsel that he gave Hopkins. But instead of addressing my point, you change the subject and concoct nonsense that I never said. Lame.

My joking comment, "To paraphrase The Godfather: Leave The Chad. Take the Daboli".
My point was that if some other school were going to steal Chad away from us to make him a head coach, I'd rather have them steal Dabo away so that Chad could be promoted to head coach.
I NEVER called for Dabo to be fire. NEVER. You liar.

"Let's get rid of Dabo and keep Chad" is merely one of dozens of your posts essentially saying Dabo was a mistake and whatnot.
In spite of YOUR words showing otherwise, are you saying you didn't want to fire Dabo after USF or WVU or any other loss for that matter?
You're full of crap man. Simple as that. Fans like you are an embarrassment. Blue Caddy was a better fan than you. At least he was somewhat coherent.

I didn't say "Let's get rid of Dabo and keep Chad." Th article was about Chad being interviewed for HC positions elsewhere. My comment was that if another team is going take Chad away from us, I'd rather them take Dabo so that we could promote Chad to HC. I am far from alone in that sentiment.
Notice that I used the word "take" the Daboli, not "fire" the Daboli or "get rid of" the Daboli. Your English comprehension stinks.
It's amazing how you just concoct stuff that I never said and then call me full of crap for denying that I said it. What in interesting world you live in. I challenge you to find one of my posts where I ever called for Dabo to be fired. Ha! Put up or shut up.

I honestly don't know if you exactly said "fire Dabo" or not, nor do I care. But the obvious fact of the matter is you most definitely have made dozens and dozens of comments over the years which mean essentially the same thing, including your retarded "Daboli" comment.
Again, you're full of crap. Always have been. And wrong even more so.

So that means YOU'RE the liar for claiming that I said stuff that I didn't say. Ironic. Apology accepted.
I've posted critiques of Dabo and I've posted praise of Dabo. I just call 'em like I see 'em. Most civilized adults are tolerant of other people's opinions-- even if they disagree. And they're capable of expressing disagreement in an civilized, intelligent manner. Not you.

You've most definitely made dozens of posts blasting Dabo and stating in so many words that he was the wrong choice and should not be here. You were dead wrong but clearly lack the character to admit it. Now whether or not you exactly said "fire Dabo" or not I don't know, but that's not the point and it matters none. Wiggling around it like a buffoon doesn't change this simple fact.
Calling it like you see it doesn't make the dumb stuff you've posted "valid critiques". Not one bit. In fact, you've been wrong about most everything you've ever posted here.
And your attempt at pulse analysis failed miserably. Moronic suggestion actually. Good job owning up to it. LOL.
And too, we've already established you're a hypocrite in addition to being a liar. That, just like your firing insinuations, it's plain to see in black and white.

Classic T-Net Dabo-worshipper. When I post something positive you don't comment. When I post a valid critique, rather than making an intelligent counterpoint, you concoct nonsense about what I want. How childish!
So you think Dabo gave Hopkins good counsel to stay another year? That's funny.

It's really a simple question. If I'm all alone in my opinions as you claimed above, then why is my Tiger Pulse 55%? It's obvious that more than half the readers like what I have to say. If you have some other explanation let's hear it. When you provide no logical response and instead resort to juvenile name-calling, it tells me that I proved you wrong and you have no logical, civilized, adult response.

Having a 55% pulse does NOT mean that 55% of the folks here agree with your retarded "critiques". Not even close. Just like me having a 90%+ pulse doesn't mean 90%+ of the people here agree with what I say.
If you can't figure that out, then you should immediately turn in your diploma. In fact, even if you are somehow capable of mustering the brain cells to figure this out, you still should turn in your diploma. Because ignorant "fans" like you are a complete embarrassment to Clemson.
And speaking of not answering questions, dork, why didn't you answer mine? That is, did you or did you not want to fire Dabo Swinney after USF, WVU, and most likely after every single loss he's ever had? Try not to lie, as you are obviously prone to do.
And too, you've name-called as well, hypocrite.
You're a joke. No doubt about it. Blue Caddy looks like a reasonable Mensa member compared to you.

It's true that a Tiger Pulse of 55% doesn't mean that exactly 55% of readers agree with me, but it certainly indicates that I'm not all alone as you said. Above, you wrote:
Only in your mind have you posted "valid critiques", of anything.
And yet in this thread alone, you'll see that some of the other posters like Mack Daddy & ObiWan agreed with my critique. So that alone proves you wrong about it being "only in my mind".
Now, whether or not my critique is valid is a matter of opinion, not fact. Most civilized adults can express opinions, read other people's opinions, and have civilized point-counterpoint discussions without name-calling and vulgarity. Not you.
How can you say that I didn't answer your question? I answered it several times above. I NEVER called for Dabo to be fired. What's not clear about that? Are you hung up on the word "want"? OK. I NEVER wanted Dabo to be fired. I hope that's clear enough.

just like the lies you've already been busted in.
Again, just because someone may have agreed with something you said doesn't make it a "valid critique". I'm specifically speaking about things like your moronic "Daboli" nonsense and other firing assertions, where you were wrong in every single lame attempt.
In this particular case, your "valid critiques" are obviously invalid because you haven't been correct about any of it. You're clearly deluded.
And again, please stop the high horse nonsense. There are numerous examples of you doing that which you claim to abhor. The hypocrisy is laughable.
And too, you neglected to address the key question. Like i said, you and your "valid critiques" are a joke.

noggin of yours...
Whether or not you have a 55% or a 95% pulse, that in no way, shape, of form means you post "valid critiques". I can say "Razz is an idiot" and get some votes... does that mean it must be a "valid critique"? We know that the statement is concise and accurate, but just because some folks may have voted for it doesn't mean it must be valid.
I mean seriously man, please tell me you're not this dumb?

Every mock draft I see doesn't show him as the #1 WR.
Mar 12, 2013, 11:33 AM
|

I hope this website is right but i'm seeing Hunter, Allen, and Austin getting more notariaty on these draft boards than Nuk.
Either way...it doesn't matter, he's more of a threat in that underdog role anyways. Thats where he thrives. When you tell him he's not in the lead group so i have no doubts that he'll make the most of his opportunity as long as he stays healthy.
I'd love to see the panthers take him if not first round maybe their second pick if he's not gone by then. He'd be a great possesion style reciever like Muhsin Muhammed was.
