Re: Boyd Projected 3rd-4th round

From the ESPN article: "Boyd was told by NFL draft advisers he'd go anywhere from the second to the fourth rounds. Allen, who attended Boyd's announcement, was given a first-round grade last season when he decided to forgo his senior season."
So 2nd-4th isn't much different than 3rd-4th.
And I don't really care for anything from bleacher report considering the only time they mentioned his draft status was in the headline.

LOL......what do you think matters most to Tajh?

Leaving after the LSU game, and getting drafted between the late 2nd round and early 4th round
OR
Coming back to Clemson with national title hopes, setting every Clemson and ACC record in the books, winning a BCS game, sealing his place as one of Clemson's all-time greats, getting his diploma, and getting drafted in the 3rd-4th round
HM.....
You know, there are some things money can't buy. This is a young man's life here...I hate how everybody is so quick to use college football solely as a stepping stone for the NFL and draft money. Grow up!

The diploma will always be there. Ask Arron Murray how coming back for his sr season worked out. There's always the possibility of a career ending injury and NEVER cashing in on the NFL pay check.
Trophies and bragging rights are great, but George S. Patton was quick to say, Sic transit gloria mundi

matters. Why does it matter to someone else what he did if he's satisfied?

We're not talking about Aaron Murray. We're talking about Tajh. HE made HIS decision, and he sure seems pretty dern happy about it
Tajh had a mission to win a NC this season....no, it didn't happen, but my hat will forever go off to him for trying. He didn't make his decision for money or for himself, he made his decision for CLEMSON and for the team. That speaks volumes about his character. Those are the type of guys I want to represent my alma mater.
If Tajh had left last season, he would always have "what could have been" stuck in the back of his head. I am proud of him for staying, and for chasing his goals rather than a paycheck. Looks like a 23 year old Tajh might just be wiser than you!

Tajh doesn't have a serious knee injury. Tajh just won a BCS game and set records in the process. The season is over dude, why dwell on something that didn't happen?
Of course I wouldn't be taking the same stance if Tajh had a career-threatening injury. But guess what? He doesn't. Again, looks like he made the right choice because HE IS HAPPY with it.

welp....... Cincinnati needs a QB. They should take Boyd.

That's for sure. I mean should I be the one to coin the phrase "Dalton-ing." Or "Bengaling." Seriously, they should take a hard look at Tajh.
They've got AJ Green who is go to; yet occasionally drops the easy ones. Remind you of somebody? Sammy Watkins. And they have a pro-tight end offense. Also similar and utilized throughout his career. Ironically, the Bengals have a stout (no pun intended) D Line, which reminds of Clemson.
Anywho, Happy New Year.

One thing is for sure. I will miss Boyd. He was such a well-spoken leader for this program. On the offensive side of the ball we will have lost Nuk, Jaron Brown, Sammy, Bryant, Ellington, McDowell, Brandon Ford, Bryant, Boyd, Freeman, Thomas, and Shatley. Wow! That is a lot of talent guys.
Coming in (reloading)- Mike Williams, Hopper, TJ Green, Kitt, Scott, Gallman, Dye, D. Watson, Cannon, Milan Richard, Chad Kelly, CJ Fuller, Oglesby, Crowder, Brooks, CJ Davidson, and Leggett.
We just have to keep recruiting at a high level and start working on the trenches. Guys, if we can shore up the secondary we could be nasty. I don't think the offense will be bad next year.

The only difference b/t this year and last year is that

last year's QB class was atrocious while this one is average so Boyd was rated a little higher amongst the QBs in the 2013 class.
Not knocking Tajh, but i think he was largely the same player in 2013 as he was in 2012. He still struggles in the exact same areas.
