Comparison of Clemson's 2012 talented team to 2016 talented team

That comparison is not valid. Deshuan Watson gives all his recievers, tight ends, and running backs a chance to make plays. Unlike Deshuan, Tajh Boyd (which I believe is amazing for what he accomplished on and off the field) really only had one or two favorite targets: Sammy and Nuk. Another difference is the type of running they applied. Tajh did not run as much as Deshuan, and that created an opening for the running backs with the option attack and the wide recievers due to the running game. It could also be because of coach Scott and coach Elliot, yet I believe with out the genius offensive coordinator, Chad Morris, we would not be were we are today. Throwing out the plays we did not need really helped us.

So Boyd didn't target Allen, Ford, Brown, Humphries?
Not to mention Boyd got just about every 3rd and 1 or 2 he ran on. But you would be correct in saying they have different running styles.

Look at who he targeted "the most". That was the statement. Do a fact check and hurry and get back to me. I'm open for being wrong, but I won't be mean about it sir.

Disagree with this. In 2012 Sammy only had 17 more catches than brandon ford and ford had 8 yes. Tajh loved his tight ends.

Y'all do not get the picture... I said look how Deshuan DISTRIBUTES THE BALL TO SEVERAL PLAYERS.. True Sammy had an off year in 2012, but compare that to Nuk. Nuk was his 2012 go-to-guy and they DID EXCELLANT!

We get the point it just wasn't correct. You said hurry check the stats and the stats say in
2011 Sammy-82 rec Nuk-72 rec DA-50 Jaron Brown-31 Ellington-22
2012 Nuk-82 Sammy-57 Humphries-41 Ford-40
That, to me, points to spreading the ball around pretty well.

We are much more talented on defense and the offensive line than that 2012 team.

agree, size and strength in the trenches isn't comparable. The offense with Williams could be scary good.

Did you say genius? Let's see how he turns around SMU before we jump to conclusions. I agree he did good at Clemson but also look at the talent we had. There has not been any drop off since he left.
