If Purdy was at Clemson this year would our record be the same

I saw some great plays by DJ tonight. I saw some horrible drops by CU players tonight that could have been big game changers and that same thing happened all season long this year. We lost tons of players. But Purdy is a Sr and DJ is RS Fr.
Is it our player's don't expect those improve plays therefore drop them? Is it our older WR is hurt, not playing, transferred or thoughts?
I think we are in playoffs with Purdy if he was at Clemson this year. I could be wrong?
That said, im not trying to bash young DJ as he has played better later in the season and I saw great tries tonight where his players failed him. But he did miss opportunities as well. If DJ grows at the same level he grew the last 2 months before the start of next football season, then he has a great chance.
I think he knew he was the starter this year and was lazy but I assure you the new young buck won't cut him any slack. Cade is a gifted fellow. DJ will have to amp his game to remain he starter

Lazy, maybe. But if he did get lazy, maybe the receivers got lazy too. Seems like I read that when DW and TL were here, they and the receivers were constantly working together, in the off season and whenever they had spare time during the season. I guess they got to a point, that they knew each other pretty well. Seems like our receivers didn’t like the idea of blocking too much this year, either.

Yea ,and maybe your coots would have beaten Clemson with Purdy-boy as your QB.
Oh wait, he didn't beat Clemson did he?
And as far as DJ goes, without Brent V. on the sideline ,we would not have beaten Purdy. Oh wait, it wasn't Brent ,but Wes on the sideline. Defense to the rescue again, thank you.
Don't want to bash DJ. Ok I will. He is the worst quarterback Clemson has had since their first National Title in 1981,IMO.I don't think he has played better as the season went. This was after all game 13 and the only thing he didn't do last night was throw a pick -six. But your boy did.
Lazy my @$$!

Uhmm? I have the confuse on your rant? You calling me a Coot? When I praised DJ for his growth! But uet you are bashing DJ? And I think our team would have been better with Purdy this year, (as a Sr) but me applauding DJ for growth is horrible.
I have the confuse, unless you are replying to someone else??

No you are not confused. Show me this growth you talked about. Show me one game, other than S.C. State or that women's basketball school that D.J. won for us without the defense having to bail us out.
Show me some consistency in any one game this season then explain to me the comment that our former O.C. made about not wanting to pull DJ at any point because he didn't want to disrupt that consistency as we barely hung on to beat a freaking Syracuse team and then told the same media "We need to score more points".
Explain that and then explain your comment because I didn't see anything out of Purdy last night that showed me how a 7-5 record is better than 9-3.

Neither did DW4, and neither did Trevor Lawrence, and he won a NC his true freshman year!!! DJ is the worse QB that I can ever remember at Clemson, and I have been a Clemson fan for 6 decades!!!

If we would have had him we would be be playing tomorrow night in the CFP. With our D, we only needed “average” QB play. It was very obvious last night ISU had no respect for our vertical passing game, with their safeties playing the run - that’s all we’ve had. Whether a run up the middle or to the outside, it’s still a run. Did we have more than a couple of passes longer than 15 yards? There was one ball heaved in the general direction of a covered WR, where it was caught, though it should not have been thrown. How many times did we see 3rd and long and we ran up the middle against a stacked line? Fortunately we had a great D that bailed us out all year. If only an above average D, we would have won 3, maybe 4 games.

Well, that was probably lack of better terms as players got free years. But I still feel like Clemson would be playoff team with Purdy as QB.
But DJ has shown huge development, I just wonder if it was too easy in college after a great showing at ND but never had that reincarnation in 2021??

I think we would have made the playoffs

with any of 100 quarterbacks. Just "adequate" would have been an improvement, but unfortunately DJU didn't even rise to that level. I like the kid, but at the end of the day, he simply didn't get the job done. For this team to win 10 games is a tribute to Dabo keeping them positive... and, of course, to the DEFENSE! Go Tigers.

I look, and I just don't see the improvement y'all do the last couple months. Compared to other QBs, he actually fell in the statistics and finished the season even worse than he was after 6 games. Maybe his raw numbers slightly improved? I haven't seen evidence of that but just giving the benefit of the doubt. But you have to consider the defenses he did it against. The last half of our opponents were far, far worse than the first half defensively. Bottom 30 on average. I do not believe he has improved at all this season, and have not seen growth. I've seen the coaches, who are poor offensive callers at the best of times, not have any faith in him and run extremely vanilla, outdated offenses featuring Shipley + screen plays. He could literally double all his stats from this year and still wouldn't be a top 20 QB, which you have to be to compete in today's world. I appreciate your optimism, but these are facts.
Yes, I do think we're in the playoffs with Purdy, or any mediocre QB. It wouldn't take very much to beat Pitt and NC State. I still think we probably lose to Georgia without a top 10 QB, but 12-1 is good enough for the playoffs.

I think so too. He was a baller and made crisp accurate passes. Others can hate with honesty. But DJ definitely got better. If have doubts, go watch first 3 games.

Maybe you failed to notice that our run game got better after those same 3 games.

You would like our chances next year with the same QB and a run game only? It would be a long year. “Improvement” is relative to the starting point. He did improve however not to the point of below average.

It's hard to blame it all on DJ when you look at the WR

It is my personal belief...

that if Clemson had a QB like Purdy or Pickett (for example), the team would be in the CFP.

DJ... not so much
Dec 30, 2021, 9:13 AM
|

He is slow of foot
His decision making is slow and often bad. See throwing into coverage repeatedly the entire season. See short passes delivered so late that coverage has time to break on the ball after the receiver sits down. Every... every game.
His accuracy is sporadic at best.
The end of the season games were against lesser defenses.
The running game was used at the end of the season against the lesser defenses so it improved.
Over the end of the season, the running game was used to take the ball out of DJ's hands.
Good kid. Gives it all he has got and his effort is appreciated. Even so, this is a game of performance.

If Purdy was at Clemson or any other starting Qb that we played against was or QB, we would be a top 6 team. I'm sorry but DJ is the big stinko. Dabo has to go to the portal for a starter until Cabe comes along. Brandon Streter could not get a game plan together to make DJ shine like Jeff Scott made Cole Stout play well in his last bowl game. Sorry, but Uwi is a bust.
