Serious question. Had DJ already checked out on the first two drives?

Now, it almost appears the incompletions might have been intentional. Even Dabo said they were easy plays. And for him to be the biggest cheerleader of CK2 while he was blowing him outta of the water statistically causes further suspicion. It’s not even natural for a competitor to cheer on the guy under him to beat him out. Something just doesn’t seem right here.

Yes,. He threw the 1st one in the dirt. Something is up.
But I don't think we will ever know.

I think what you saw on the sidelines was DJ being a good teammate but I also think what you saw was a man feeling great relief that this thing was finally over...

What would be the possible upside for DJ? Granted it was weird but I think some kind of a conspiracy is a reach.

I wouldn't say the throws were intentionally bad but DJ’s body language last few weeks has been that of a short timer on the job

Nah he was just too hyped up, as always. I’m just glad he imploded from the start so that it was an easy decision for Dabo. Had he had a few first downs those first 2 drives Dabo may have extended his leash.

Game like he has all year, losing or not. And then Clemson would’ve proceeded to lose the game just like last week.

what does Brad B, Tommy Bowden, and DJ all have in common?

They all three were/are always doing just enough at the right time to save their job and survive until the next game. I agree if DJ came out and got a couple first downs before being stopped and Cade didn’t still score on that first possession DJ would have been back in the game and played at least the first half. Every time he’s been off they’ve won and it’s hard to change out someone that won even if it wasn’t pretty. Dabo has to have a moment where it’s clear the other guys time is now and it took losing to SCAR for it to happen. DW4’s was the FSU game, Trevor’s was GT and Cades was yesterday and he crushed it.

If he were going to check out, he should have done against the Gamecocks!

Tajh started a lot of drives by throwing them in the dirt. I perceived that he was aiming the ball instead of throwing it. That makes the easiest throws look hard. If you look at the other balls he threw, they had nothing on them. He was doing what he does, playing to not make a mistake. That's the mindset that cost him - IMO
Plus - if that's where he is mentally, then he needs our prayers and grace more than we thought. He's in a deep, dark pit. While he may not need to be on the field, he needs grace and support - especially if he's where he wants to fail so he can come out.
It's bigger than FB its about a young man.

and being the center of all criticism just finally collapsed any confidence he may have had. He was a beaten man out there
