Lincoln Riley benched his starter…. Dabo, come

Easy to do when the back up is another 5 star.

There should be no difference in a 3rd year high 4* and a freshman 5*.

Actually there is a huge difference.

When TP has played he has not looked good. Not in the spring game in which everyone on here was bashing him or in actual games. I like TP and hope he develops but when you add in the fact that he tore his Achilles in the spring it’s a no brainer as to why the coaches aren’t playing him. Take away the torn Achilles and the outcries about him not playing probably still wouldn’t be justified based on what we’ve seen when he has played but at least they would be understandable. Right now the cheap shots taken at Dabo (not talking about your post) for not playing him make absolutely no sense. Of course I’m like everyone else and would love to see someone step and do better but I firmly believe we don’t have that option. Dabo has proven that if he has a better QB than the starter he will play early and Dabo will eventually start him just like he did with DW and TL. Right now I believe that they are playing the best option at QB. Nothing that they are doing or have done would lead me to believe otherwise.TP has never shown us anything that leads me to believe that he is the better option.

Yes I wonder about TP7 with his injury. But he has been medically cleared. While I find that hard to believe I have to believe in the doctors. Same as we believe in Dabo. But with how DJ has struggled we should at least give TP7 a chance to see what he can do. He is much more mobile so that will help our OL

I think the issue here is that Dabo isn't even willing to pull DJ for a drive. At least give TP a shot in one drive... If I were him I would have already hit the portal, because it's beyond obvious that the coaching staff has no faith in him whatsoever. It's just so frustrating to watch the offense week after week struggle and the coaching staff having no answers. At some point, something has to change. I'm not the HC so I don't have the answer. All I know is what we have right now isn't working. WAY too much talent on this team to be 117th out of 130 teams in total offense.

There's something in these hills.


Predicting an injury to a Clemson player is only slightly


Oct 11, 2021, 3:10 PM

... less obnoxious than hoping it will happen.

If it does happen, however, you will get your wish to see a QB change.

So win/win for you, right?

If there's one thing that I'm always scared about when playing 'Cuse, it's game-ending QB injuries.

Not in every case and not so in this one either. He looked way more in control of the offense and is willing to air it out. That SC State DB made a heck of a play amd our WR did not help out on the bomb int.

Re: Actually there is a huge difference.

Then the question is why? Why did the coaches not see what DJ really was? He plays like 3 star true freshman.

To fix a problem one must first admit there is a problem. If they have admitted there is a problem privately but no to the public, why is it taking so long to fix the problem? I know that Dabo knows what the problem is and how to fix the problem. Why has it not been fixed. The dream season is over. We had the defense this year to win a Championship with. How could the coaches not know what they had in DJ? This is what they do for a living A really good living at that. They are all being paid in the upper 1%.

Correct me if I’m wrong ...


Oct 11, 2021, 3:03 PM [ in reply to Re: Lincoln Riley benched his starter…. Dabo, come ]

What I hear you saying is that our coaches absolutely must give the team to a marginally recruited QB who may or may not be fully recovered from a catastrophic injury and who has shown nothing in particular to get excited about even when healthy.

Re: Correct me if I’m wrong ...


Oct 11, 2021, 8:19 PM

No! He's saying we need to try something different. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. What we have seen for five weeks is insane. Nothing to very little has changed at the QB position. Dj started off terrible and now he is just way below average. I don't care how good of a surrounding team you have if your QB is way below average or one of the worst in most statistical categories you will not be a good team offense. It's reflected in all the other players on offense. It's destroying their spirit.

I just hope it's not too late.

It doesn't take but a season or two to become like LSU, Tennessee, Nebraska, Southern Cal, etc... Once perennial powerhouses like Clemson. Now cellar dwellers in their own conferences.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

In my opinion


Oct 10, 2021, 3:50 PM [ in reply to Re: Lincoln Riley benched his starter…. Dabo, come ]

It’s even easier to do when your starter hasn’t posted a QBR over 50 all season and has continually made the wrong reads in The RPO game. I don’t say that bash DJ, I say it because they’re facts.

Also , TP was no slouch as a recruit. 4star, #4 QB, top 200 player.

I'd say LR was a QB coach and Dabo not being is where LR gets it and Dabo is out and back. This year is not going to move much for us and I feel like Dabo is looking at it from a talent/pipeline school protection angle versus win now. Same is seen by Dabo in denying the portal.

Easy, their backup is better than ours. I don't question the man that brought us the Natty twice in the last 5 years.

It's embarrassing Dabo hasn't benched him after 5 games and only throwing 1 touchdown after the first scripted drives. DJ is ranked right at 100 in the nation and by far the worst starter ive seen here since the early 90s. Dabo is getting too familiar and scared to make tough choices now.

Re: Lincoln Riley benched his starter…. Dabo, come

Yeah the QB room over there is different than what we have. Spencer Rattler was rated as the number 238 best player all time and Caleb Williams as the 102 best player all time. Everyone in the nation wanted Caleb Williams including our Tigers. He runs a 4.6 and has a phenomenal arm. The upside is incredible. There are many that were calling for Rattler to get on the bench as soon as he got to campus. Rattler isn't a slouch but the talent is just different. And again the talent of DJU and TP do not compare to the Williams-Rattler switch.

This is the same recruiting service that had Trevor at #6 and Bresee at 18. Everyone on their top 100 list has the potential to go to the Pro Bowl at the next level. I trust their ability to scout talent. DJ is at 206. Time will tell on this being accurate. I still feel that our offense can right the ship.

of course i did. i saw the bc and nd game last year. but quite a bit different to bench a guy when you got another 5 star standing beside you rather than a qb just coming off achilles surgery.

Dabo proved with Trevor and Kelly Bryant that he is willing to play the best man. I trust he still is.

I've watched TP play at Clemson and have seen Caleb Williams play numerous time at high school against top flight competition......and believe me..
TP is no where near as good as Caleb. What everyone saw Caleb do on Saturday on national TV against Texas is what I've seen on Fridays & Saturdays in 2018 & 2019 watching him play for Gonzaga High School in DC. Always hoped he be a Tiger but he got away.

OU’s backup is a true freshman 5* recruit

and Rattler has an attitude problem.

Hunter Helms is a true freshman. If Taison can't go or isn't the answer then why not give Helms a try. We have to have a QB who can complete more than 50% OF THEIR PASSES ON THE TEAM.

The big difference is
Ok backup has different skills than their starter.
Ours is very close.
If it was a year from now, then it might be a different decision.
