Say out loud the first four letters of the word analyst,

and you understand where most of their opinions originate.

First and foremost, most all are self-appointed gurus with hardly an original thought produced by anything but their unroyal posteriors. If one hits upon what appears to be a controversial idea, they all follow suit in the never-ending rush for audiences. Somehow, one of those nattering nimwits decided that it was all Clemson's fault that DJ never developed. Poor DJ then threw gas on the fire with his illbegotten similar thinking. The slobbering continued while he was at Oregon State, and then on to FSU. At one point tonight I thought the announcers were ready to rush the field and kiss his asss.

I repeat my long-held opinion that our recruitment of DJ was misguided at best, for we simply bought into all the west coast space cadet hype. DJ has talents but not at the P4 level. He played for a small, private college in the most populous state in the nation. He did win a championship but at a low tier level, which meant he would probably have fared much better in a lower FBS program.

I wish the young man well and hate things didn't work out for him at Clemson. Unfortunately, now he's in one he1l of a pickled mess at FSU, because that fanbase is going to start lighting bonfires.

Because he has a number of positive, NFL caliber traits:

1) He is BIG at 6'4" 250 lbs.
2) He is strong and can throw a football 80 yards.
3). He played HS at a top level National Championship program
4) He is a really high character young man. A good kid.
5) He looks great in a football uniform

Then, there is reality:

1) He is big, slow footed and slow to make decisions
2). He is the finest Offensive Tackle playing QB in the country
3) He dresses like a South LA Gang Banger. Not a good look in the South for a leader
4) His passes have very little spin and usually fly with the nose down making reception difficult
5) The combination of high velocity and the knuckleball effect are a tough combination for receivers

Glad I am not a Scout because all these positive traits would be apparent in high school and most of the negatives would not show up until college. Also, it is like getting married. When you marry the person, you get the family also. HS Scouts could not have known how that thing would blow up. Sad, actually.

How can so many analysts be wrong about DJU?
