I read DJ was struggling with accuracy yesterday


Aug 9, 2022, 6:00 PM

in the session they left open to the media from one of the other media outlets on hand to watch. Maybe it was a small sample size, but based on what happened last year, that's pretty discouraging. You definitely don't expect to hear stuff like this when he's still throwing in shorts and a t-shirt. In only gets tougher in pads and when the bullets are live.

Cade has two things DJ will never have:


Aug 9, 2022, 6:31 PM

1 Accuracy. Among many other weaknesses, this is DJ's biggest downfall

2 Scrambling and running ability. Our O-line probably is not going to be very good. Hopefully better than last year though. Cade has the ability to escape a pass rush and make big plays with either his arm or legs.

If DJ could sit behind an O-line that gave him plenty of time to make decisions, he might do well. If he had a RB that forced defenses to bring safeties closer to the line of scrimmage, he might do well. But the fact is he has neither, which means Cade's mobility and accuracy must come to the rescue. We better hope he's up to the task as a true freshman.

In case things go south, our decision makers are more prepared this year as is the “QB room.”

Cade has everything that DJ will never have...DJ is a good kid and has skills but we will never win a natty with him...He has slow feet, Cade is as quick as a cat...He has tunnel vision and picks out one receiver and focuses...has no feel for the rush and he does not make good decisions with the football! We could not win a natty with one QB that we put on the bench and this one is no different...If you want to see this in person look at last years Clemson vs. NC State on the ACC network...A great defense can keep you in the game but most of the time cannot win one (exception Ga. vs. CCC last year)! I feel for DJ and California HS football....if he was tops in California they must really suck!

Our RB room is fine.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

DJ has thrown for about 70%, a gazillion TDs and minimal INTs


Aug 9, 2022, 7:40 PM [ in reply to Cade has two things DJ will never have: ]

for his entire HS and college career... except for one year.

DJ's HS stats are better than Cade's as well.

How are you forming your opinion? An anomaly season?

Re: DJ has thrown for about 70%, a gazillion TDs and minimal INTs


Aug 9, 2022, 8:06 PM

Yes, he played great in High School. Unfortunately, the isn’t HS. Regardless, after watching last year .. if accuracy issues isn’t a concern this year, are you hoping for another similar season?

“The OL probably is not going to be good”

With whom they practice against I feel you are a bit inaccurate

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You could have made the same argument this time last year...


Aug 9, 2022, 10:54 PM

and been wrong.

I think the O-line should be better than last year (which isn't saying much), but there is no reason to believe it will be good.

Saying they look bad because of who they practice against is weak, especially after what happened last year.

We don’t have a RB that will force defenses to play up safeties? Are you serious? If so, read up on Shipley, Mafah, and Pace-

Thanks. I haven’t read that anywhere. I’d really appreciate a link too.

Sounds kinda like a cool story dude.

We’re there. Said DJ was throwing accurately with some great deep balls. Showing a really strong arm.

I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Re: I read DJ was struggling with accuracy yesterday


Aug 9, 2022, 7:27 PM

that isn't remotely what that summary says. it says he hit one receiver in stride on a deep ball, and that shipley "had to extend" to catch a pass on a wheel route. well guess what? Receivers have to extend to make catches all the time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I read DJ was struggling with accuracy yesterday


Aug 9, 2022, 7:39 PM

Clemson Insider says: "There was some hit and miss with D.J. Uiagalelei’s accuracy during some of the passing drills. Running back Will Shipley had to extend forward in order to snag a pass on a wheel route. Uiagalelei later came back in another drill and hit E.J. Williams in stride on a deep post."

Nothing much yet. We shall see.

I don't think you can honestly. I think you threw that word in there.

The reporter saw two passes. One was off but catchable. The other was a deep ball right on the money. The sample size is way too small to draw any sort of conclusion but why choose the negative?

He's been struggling with accuracy since last year.
