Sounds crazy but…


Oct 24, 2021, 2:06 PM

DJ maybe a baller coming off the bench. There are players that just do better when they don’t start.
My soccer coach learned not to start me in high school … it was a mental thing. Know it sounds arrogant but It was like I was coming to save the game or something. I always showed out.
I would often catch parents asking why I didn’t start the game.
Kinda wonder if that is similar to how DJ felt last year coming into those two games. Not the same but similar.
Although none of this matters… cause we will never find out.

Okay… now for all the know it all comments trashing another Clemson fan their opinion.
GO!

It’s gotta be a mental/pressure thing for him

Think about it: he usually goes to the first read and if it’s not there panics instead of trying to make something happen.

But coming off the bench yesterday it looked like he wasn’t pressing as much.

I actually agree with your outlook. He looked relieved when he was taken out of the game.

Which is not always what you want out of your QB1

Maybe announce TP7 as the starter. Give him 2 drives or so and let DJ come off the bench against FSU.

Or have the depth chart show them as Co-starters

See your point

One thing I didn’t say was my Junior and senior years I started and still balled… it was just those first two years.

The Tigers were 6-5 in 1980.

Should've been done much earlier in the season...3 things..


Oct 24, 2021, 2:19 PM

1) Should've sat DJU down a series or two to watch and then re-insert much earlier this season. Do it every game if you must.

2) I know you are trying to protect D, but the speed of offense has to improve. More tempo gives him less time to think & just go play.

3)) In the SCSU game...DJU needed more snaps. Instead, we did the usual and went to backups early. I would've played him another quarter solely based on performance in uga game...

Not so crazy... I remember the coots' 84 team had a quarterback who started and then had that other guy who was obviously better who would always come in a lead them to victory (except against Navy, and in their bowl game <img border="> ). I remember at the time wondering why he never started, but it was probably a similar situation.

The names escape me but the guy who always came off the bench was the one who rolled the ball to William Perry at the end of the game. That game still pains me to this day, but I digress.
