For all you fanboys and girls
Sep 24, 2022, 6:23 PM

screeching about all us DJ doubters:
He played incredibly well today - the sort of game one would expect the allegedly elite QB of an elite program to play.
But it's been entirely reasonable for anyone to question the guy's ceiling up to this point.
And it's entirely reasonable to wonder if he can play this well again next week.
After today, Im inclined to think he can and will.
And who knows?
After he's tossed a handful of games like these into his warbag on the way to the CFP, maybe us doubters will pool our money and buy a 30 second "We were wrong DJ had it in him all the time" ad to air during the big game.
Until then, he's still got stuff to prove. Nothing malicious or disloyal in thinking or saying it.

I felt bad when the rb went the wrong way near the goal and left him stuck w the ball. I think that ultimately resulted in a fg

So you made a post to remind people you were wrong…

about DJ, but there is a chance you may not be totally wrong because the season is young and anything could still happen. So people who didn’t know you were critical shouldn’t be so quick to judge you because you could still be right. And I need to take medicine?

Mmm...not sure I can agree with you there.
Typically, when you dont play well for a while it takes playing well for a while counteract the effect of not having played well for a while.

Not malicious, disloyal is up for debate, but definitely not positive. So it is entirely reasonable to question whether you can be supportive. You’ve got stuff to prove.

Here’s what bothers me about the people and DJ..
They refuse to acknowledge that he’s busted his literal ### to be the best he can for this program. They all chomp at the bit to criticize him and kick him when he’s down. Yes, he wasn’t the Clemson standard last season, but dude set goals and standards for himself that he is exceeding. Instead of enjoying it, they find the simplest human existent sh*t to critique to justify their position…….all while I’m watching OSU go 88 yards in 4 plays vs this #### Wisconsin team.

Wait. Does that make you a fanboy, then? If not, what are you, DJ Switzerland?

Definitely not neutral. Certainly not a fanboy.
Anything short of a natty is a disappointment. If DJ cant deliver that then next man up.
This "hmmmnnnn...but theyre trying reeeeellllyyyyy haaaaard" bit is tired.
Call it the downside of shellin' out $115M to a HC.
Just win, baby.

I’m just a bottom feeder IPTAY member, so my pitiful contributions are hardly a drop in an the Pacific Ocean. And, since I am such a low level peon, I really can’t begin to truly appreciate how much money a booster has to give to be able to “feel” disgust, by a perceived substandard performance, a from Coach Swinney’s recent $115 million contract extension. So, forgive my rudeness, but how much do you have to give to be able to “expect” better results for your contribution? Is it $25K? Is that how much you have given this year? If that’s low, I apologize. Again, I’m totally a scrub when it comes to that sort of thing. But, even if you don’t want to tell, could you at least let me know if I’m warm with that amount, or am I WAY off?

I think the complaint many have isn’t that people may have doubted #5 after last year. The problem many have is that no matter what #5 seems to do this year, they can NEVER seem to be satisfied. The man has played better and better every week, and Clemson loses that game today without him playing “elite” because the other team’s QB sure the heck did. At this point, I think what some folks might be hinting at is that folks don’t have to ever be #5’s fan, but they don’t really need to call for his head if he doesn’t throw for 900 yards and 14 TDS every game. That’s the way I see it, anyhow.

I feel like he's shown improvement pretty much each game this year. You can see he's gaining a ton of confidence. As mentioned by another poster, DJ has already surpassed last years total TD passes.
