I dont want him throwing the ball 100 mph at the rbs and wrs on screen passes like KP used to. Although more velocity on some oh his balls could benefit him. Keep up the good work Tajh!!!

Can he teach him to stop throwing out interceptions like beads at mardi gras?

I think that's the point.
When you direct your whole body into the throw you have more control.

Yeah. So did the other 110+ division I QB's.
If you think QB was our problem last year, you're kidding yourself.

I don't think he was a problem. I was very impressed with TB last year and expect even a greater season this year.

This is one of the most ignorant a$$ statements I've ever read on here ... and there's been plenty. You're basing your arguments against his stats based on what 'could' have happened? Really?

Your talking about a first year starter at qb. This is not the 80s you have to throw the ball to win the game and defenses are faster so of course when you put the ball up 35+ times a game with a first year starter theres gonna be mistakes. The days of Danny Ford have been long gone get over it.

I think we should fire Dabo ... We 'could' have lost every game last year.

I'm totally pulling for Boyd as the QB position can absolutely win or lose games almost single handily. Yes - I am one of those that cringed almost every time Boyd threw a pass last year, knowing there's a real good chance that the pass will go right to the defender. Not sure how he was so accurate at doing that. It was freaking uncanny.
Anyway, Boyd will be better. He has the arm - no question. His footwork got better as the year progressed, so I think he'll be fine there. I still think he has issues finding his targets quickly enough. If he gets quicker at that, or the OLine protects longer, then Boyd will be awesome at QB. He will put up some incredible numbers, possibly becoming one of the most prolific QB's CLEMSON has ever had. AWESOME.
Can't wait myself.

Astute Advice for Boyd...and yes, he can throw a mean ball
Apr 4, 2012, 2:44 PM

When he has time and is confident...like strikes against Auburn or FSU or VT...but not so against USC when rushed.
This young man has what it takes..has given his dues...while his Mother & Dad have done the ultmost to give him the scenario to succeed, by moving to Clemson. ver
Remember he was a highly sought out recruit and had offers and/or interest from other fine colleges like: Michigan, OH ST, WVU..and others.
Go Tigers & Go QB Boyd.

I'd like to know what he can do for Boyd sailing his passes too high. it certainly didn't happen every time but there were quite a few instances where the passes were high, even if they were caught.

Sounds like he's been addressing that very issue. Stepping

into the throws will naturally correct the high balls he had from trying to strong arm off his back foot.

You beat me to it. Most of the time balls sail because the QB threw off his back foot. Working on footwork can only help. Tajh had a fantastic season last year and I think he will build upon that this season. And to the person who said they didn't want screen passes rifled to the RB's and WR's or would you rather have them skipped there like we saw last season?

Read the comments on the CBS article

It must really suck to be a SoCar fan and feel the need to read every Clemson article and say something bad.
I also find it hilarious that the "university" about ready to go under the NCAA knife thinks there is anything underhanded in Tajh's spring break.

I love the work ethic. If Tajh can improve on from last year this offense IS going to be scary good.
