DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 12:28 PM

I hope they both have great multiple National Championship winning careers at Clemson!!!!!
I see all the people saying get rid of DJ hi is a bust( awful take) in the same breath they say bring on Klubnick based on his high school career!
May I remind you DJ was the Top player in the nation!
He was incredible! I believe He can be again!

Expectations for him were off the charts. Him being a 5 star and then you come in after TL. Lot of pressure on the kid. I expect him to play well next season!

In my first managerial position, I had a mentor who told me,"when you're moving up the career ladder, NEVER follow a Superstar, because even if you do a great job, you will just be average!!"

At first glance, I thought this was a post about Klubnik having DJ skills in addition to spinning the pigskin. DJ Klubnik has a nice ring to it.

I hope Dabo gives them both serious playing time early......


Dec 12, 2021, 12:37 PM

in the season to let them show which is the better QB. I'm actually hoping it will be CK but they need to prove it on the field during some games. The same way Dabo compared TL and KB.

Just enjoy the next game. It will DJs last and he will most likely transfer when Cade is on campus. If you watched any of Cades games its obvious he is superior. All you have to do is watch them both throw and see how the ball to the receivers. Cade looks like a young pro. DJ looks completely lost.

Re: I hope Dabo gives them both serious playing time early......


Dec 12, 2021, 8:19 PM

Watch DJs high school tape compared to CKs. Very similar. I fully expect Dabo will treat the two of them just like he did KB and TL. We’ll see how it works out. Hope you feel better after literally trashing a 19 year old kid for being less than perfect. That rant Saban went on a couple of weeks ago was meant for people like you.

I agree with you. Dabo has always said no one has a life time contract you must earn it each year each game!

There are times when those who select the best in the nation err. There were severalQBs that year better than our all American. The Young kid at Bama being one of them. He was the best that I saw.

I am wondering if DJ got the coaching that he needed. The upcoming season will tell us a lot. He has eight months to get better. Clemson needs for him to start today,

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 12:54 PM

He was rated best based on his play.
I saw him this year sand I saw him the year before.
I saw him miss throws and look lost.
I also saw him make some great plays and make some throws few people can make!
I also saw him running for his life the time he touched the ball being hit!
I also saw more drops by receivers than I have ever seen in one year..
Sometimes it was his fault and many times it was not his fault!

Re: DJ , Klubnick

has anyone thought what DJ's numbers would be if the drops would have been caught. Including the last play at NCState?

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 12:46 PM

Competition makes everyone better.

I noticed improvements in DJ's game this year, and admire his toughness when he played in pain down the stretch.

My unsolicited advice for DJ:

Get in the best shape of your life for spring ball
Work on accuracy - too many throws at feet last year (and not in places where receivers could catch and keep moving)
Film, film, and more film. A year of starting will help. DJ will be better at recognizing defenses and will hopefully be in better sync with receivers this year.

I hope for better play from the WR and OL groups too. This year was not all on DJ.

Hit numerous receivers, running backs and TE’s in the hands with consistent drops. Throw that in with the poor throws and it looked really bad.

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 12:54 PM

Timing is everything. DJ was so lost his receivers dont even know when to expect the ball in their routes. That causes a lot of drops.

With QB and WR timing you can throw before the receiver breaks the route. Can anyone show me ONE play where DJ has shown he has this ability? This is a common thing DJ can't do. He has no anticipation or timing. He has no future here with Cade on campus.

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 12:57 PM

I call Bull! If a ball hits you in your hands you should catch it!
The oh they didn’t know it was coming is crap!
They should also fight for a ball! Come back to a ball and catch the ball.
I will say the last 4 games even though they relied heavy on the run that the young receivers looked good!

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 1:01 PM

Just spent a whole season of watching DJ staring down 1 receiver then panicking and throwing inaccurate fastballs. Worst rated QB we have had in 30+ years. But yea its not his fault.

Really hoping for some good competition. I believe that will benefit the play at the position! Seen numerous back shoulder throws that the receiver never turned back on. I’m not in the huddle so not sure who that is on but it seemed to happen quite frequently. Remember a few in the Ga game alone.

Can you show us plays where Joe Burrow


Dec 12, 2021, 7:52 PM [ in reply to Re: DJ , Klubnick ]

Matt Jones, Matt Corral, or a host of NFL QB's showed that as a true sophomore in college? The majority of guys develop at a slower pace than a DW or TL. They are the exception. DJ may or may not develop. But to write him off, call him garbage, shows far more about you and your utter lack of understanding of football in general, player development and that you are just a really small person. Either a child getting ready for bed as it's a school day tomorrow or a man still acting like an 8 year old

Re: DJ , Klubnick

This plus he needs to spend time throwing to all his guys in off season and build on repetition. Work with his offensive line and work on protection packages. Just practice and practice some more!

Buy a ticket in the front row and you will have a better chance to catch his passes than the receivers,

If DJ starts it will be because he is better than Klubnick.


Dec 12, 2021, 2:28 PM

Without being cruel, I'd think it will take a lot of prayer and fasting on DJ's part to make that happen for more than three or four games.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

LOTS of fasting


Dec 12, 2021, 7:05 PM

because he needs to drop 30-35 lbs.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 7:13 PM

Shoot I’ll say it. I think the WR play really hurt his confidence between drops and not being on the same page. Oline play wasn’t that good at the start of the year either but seems like both them and the WR are doing better now. That’s not to pass the blame because he does need to work on his touch and being able to move on from negative plays. Hopefully he’ll get his surgeries if they’re needed right after 29 December then heal up and be ready to rock and roll for spring ball. Hopefully he and Klubnick will push each other and may the best QB win the job.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah. Let's talk about "not being on the same page"


Dec 12, 2021, 8:08 PM

DJ was out-of-sync with every single receiver except (most of the time) Ngata. This makes me question how much of it was on the receivers.

IMO, DJ was the biggest part of the problem because the miscues just kept happening. Seems like if DJ wasn't locking in and throwing to his first read, bad things usually happened.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Early in the year the coaches spoke repeatedly


Dec 12, 2021, 8:21 PM

of how the receivers were running the wrong routes. It was a combination of all things really. Receivers were sub par. DJ was to inaccurate many times, poor OL play especially from Georgia-Pitt.

DJ's best games were when all the receivers were hurt and the true freshmen were starting. He didnt need to throw against Wake or the coots. Less than 20 PA in each game

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 12, 2021, 9:01 PM

Dj is still my pick he I just think emotions are high after a horrible offensive season it's not all on DJ offensive line couldn't protect him and we had receivers running wrong routes or poorly executed routes and dropping balls it all depends on how you view the offense determined who you blamed some blame Dj some blame Tony Elliott some blame O line some blame wide outs when ?? hits the fan we all look for someone to lay the blame on

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: DJ , Klubnick


Dec 13, 2021, 11:33 AM

Its better for the team for DJ to come in and take a big leap and undoubtedly claim the job as his own next season. Cade will gladly back him up and hopefully get some meaningful snaps here and there to get him ready for the following season. If Cade comes in and wins the job then DJ immediately leaves and we are one injury from starting god knows who at QB so nobody should be hoping for option two even if it seems the more likely of the two to happen.
