Bowers to turn professional

Bowers had a breakout 2010 season when he led the nation in sacks with 15.5 and ranked second in tackles for loss with 26. Full Story »

There is no way he could top this year. Why risk losing stock in the draft when you can go in highly sought after?

Why would he want to come back and risk injury on a team that will finish at best 3d over all in the ACC. With a 8/4 record at best. DaQuan, you have just made the absolute smartest career move that you will ever make. Good luck to, and I will be a fan of yours as long as I'm alive. Thank you for all you gave to our Clemson !!!

We will miss you next year, but best of luck to you. Go sack some NFL QB's.

If only he let Dabo know before the Carolina game he could have run down the hill as a senior as well!

Re: Another one jumps ship...Best of luck Da'Quan


Jan 5, 2011, 5:04 PM

its not exactly jumping ship when you can be a top 5 pick and make more money that any of us dream about. He gains nothing by staying. If he stays, he either jumps a couple spots or falls a lot, he would also age a year and lose one year of playing in the NFL at that salary......

I don't see it as "jumping ship". It's a very smart move on

his part. Good luck Da'Quan.

"Jumps ship" has a negative connotation that doesn't fit


Jan 5, 2011, 5:31 PM [ in reply to Another one jumps ship...Best of luck Da'Quan ]

this situation. This is clearly the opportune time for him, and most people on the ship recognize that and support his decision.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

How exactly does this qualify as "jumping ship"?


Jan 5, 2011, 6:02 PM [ in reply to Another one jumps ship...Best of luck Da'Quan ]

You'll always find something to cry about.

Jump ship? It's his time to go, good luck to him.

Jumping ship is transferring.

How could you or anyone say he jumped ship. If that is the way you feel, then he done just what he was suppose to do. When you're on a sinking ship, jumping ship is the smartest thing you can do. The captain usually is the one that rides his sinking ship to the bottom....

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


A wise decision. You made us proud Mr. Bowers. Good luck.***

Thanks, Da'Quan!...


Jan 5, 2011, 5:00 PM

You are right about Clemson family. You are now and forever will be one of us. You will always be welcome and we'd like for you to move back to Clemson when you finish dominating in the NFL!

Yes, don't forget IPTAY and the BOT's. You know, the ones that didn't think you deserved the best coaching for you and the other great talent on the team....

The right decision and I'm almost relieved to see this . . .


Jan 5, 2011, 5:43 PM

Hate to see him go, but I think I would have felt guilty all year if he stayed.

Re: The right decision and I'm almost relieved to see this . . .


Jan 6, 2011, 3:14 AM

I agree!!! We all know that CJ and Jacoby had to stay to prove their selves after being wrongfully used by TB staff. Basically the same staff in place through DaQuan's whole career at Clemson

Jan 6, 2011, 5:20 AM

Bowers did fantastic this year but his last two years (fresh. Soph.) were pretty lackluster. I don't know but they always talked about him not putting effort in those first two years. I guess he had to grow up. Now what about all these new recruits that are so good coming in, they too will probably take two years to develop too. I think we are going to have some lean years ahead.

I don't do thumbs down but you deserve one.***

apart in negotiations. Will fans come back? I guess he had no choice because we will be 6-7 next year too
