Couldn't sleep last night so decided to watch the condensed

game on Youtube...big mistake. Only watched 1.5 quarters. It's all I needed to see.
How has DJ gotten progressively worse every game? I think he missed 6 or 7 throws in the first quarter alone.
Then Taisun comes in and gives the offense a tiny spark, leads them on a scoring drive, and then sits the next series. Why? Let him try to get a rhythm and see what he can do.
What a season. Can't wait for it to be over, honestly. LOL

"Taisun got banged up," he said. "We were actually going to give him another opportunity to go back in. When we tried to put him back but he couldn’t really do what he needed to do."

Backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh played well in the first half but couldn't continue after a shoulder injury.
"Taisun got banged up," he said. "We were actually going to give him another opportunity to go back in. When we tried to put him back but he couldn’t really do what he needed to do."
Swinney said that they held Will Shipley and Kobe Pace intentionally. Both had injuries that limited them in recent weeks. Pace didn't practice all week, and Shipley practiced, but his foot was still hurting him.

Can we get a QB with an easy to pronounce last name?***

I think I know what you're talking about.

You mean the kind of QB Frank Howard would prefer, right?

little brisk out there this AM (even tho it's just a wimpy 50 degrees). Just not used to it yet.
Saw the comment, figured I'd help him out.

Yep. DJ is about as accurate as Rodney Williams throwing

a Hail Mary, and Dabo just gives the "he just needs more confidence".
TP gets a whopping single series coming in cold off the bench, throws a bad incompletion and it's all the proof we need that he's not ready. Let the guy play already. (yes, I know he got injured yesterday----there were a million opportunities before that for him to play).

Yep. Obviously, if he got banged up then that makes sense

but like you said, there have been MULTIPLE times this season that he may have been able to provide a spark.
I don't understand the unwavering support for DJ from the coaches. I know their job is to support him and push him, but whatever they are doing isn't working.
And don't get me started on the "he was awesome in practice all week" crap. Playing against our defense in practice and looks amazing, but can't complete a pass against UCONN? I don't buy it.

I have a theory, but it's pure speculation.

I think Dabo's a man of his word, and I'm guessing there were some assurances that were made to Big Dave and family in the recruitment of DJU that would be effectively broken by his official and unexpected relegation to second string.

sport, seen a player struggling week after week as bad as he has and not getting benched. I understand the guys behind him may not be better, but they at least deserve a chance.
It's just frustrating watching the same exact mistakes week after week after week from him.

Don’t forget Kyle Parker. Left in the entire season after the Auburn game, clearly ineffective and playing with an (undiagnosed) broken rib, and then inexplicably allowed to run down the hill on Senior day as a Junior as Dabo told us he was NFL caliber. Not entirely unprecedented.

Maybe not. I could certainly be wrong.***

I think they see the throw he made to Collins for a TD

and go, "we have no other QB on the roster that can make that throw. So, how do we get him to do that more?"
The problem is he has multiple bad throws/mistakes that tend to outweigh the good (and certainly with the fans) which make you scratch your head. The inconsistency of DJ is frustrating and I think the coaches are just as befuddled as we are.
And from comments Elliott made, it certainly appears they were going to go with Puma for a stretch before he got injured so it's possible the coaches are starting to weigh the inconsistency of DJ more than his potential.

speaking of DJ and others with fat NIL deals.

seems like there would be performance clauses in them to protect the sponsor. Seems like DJ shouldn't be earning the full amount so far this season. Would be interested in some in-depth investigation of this, or maybe just more speculation.
