We seem to have many here assuming that...


Sep 27, 2021, 11:08 AM

Dabo isn't playing the players in our games who aren't our best players during practice. Is it that they don't try as hard as the backups or that the gameday starters don't perform as well as the backups during practice?

That leads to another question. Why would Dabo start someone who isn't the best at the position during practice? Do any of you think the guys who do the best in practice are smoking pot or dating one of Dabo's boys or what? There has to be a reason to accuse our Head Coach of not doing his job when it comes to starting lineups.

Will and Drew Swinney are not better than Troy Stellato and Dacari Collins. Yet, they have more snaps on the season than them. Instead of developing WRs that can help us this year, we are delaying their development in order to let Dabo's sons play.

DJ is definitely better than Taisun though. I'm sorry, but has anyone actually watched Taisun when he comes into the game? Just watch how bad his arm is. There's multiple years of tape.

So you've seen the practices and attest to the...

fact that Dabo's boys are not performing better than others?

DJ definitely has a stronger arm than TP, but TP is perhaps more accurate and seems to have better touch from what little I have seen him play.

Sometimes you want Nolan Ryan on the mound and sometimes you give the ball to Greg Maddux.

I think its more of ... mid game ...

Alright you're not producing ...

Sit over there and sip on some gatorade while the next guy takes a shot at it

That's so Steve Spurrier.

I think Dabo believes that DJ's problem in between the ears and sitting him is counter productive to solving that problem.

Geville Tiger on Clemson football , "Dabo's only problem is he has to deal with turd fans questioning every move he makes.”


No. The assumption is that some of the players who


Sep 27, 2021, 12:01 PM

are playing are not playing well and not producing. It's not that they don't try as hard as the backups or don't perform as well as the backups in practice. It's that they aren't performing in the game.

For instance, Marcus Tate started the first 3 games, but did not play Saturday. Why was he starting in the first place? Why did we not play his backup in 2 of the first games, but sat him down for the entire 4th game?

Sometimes the game pressure is too much for people to transfer their practice performance to the field. There is only one way to find out if the backup can perform better on gameday for a starter who isn't performing.
