Walt on Cade

Walt is still pounding in the idea that DJ was the better QB.

Walt said Jimbo would win multiple national championships in his first 5 years at TAM. That alone should disqualify him from having an opinion on anything sports related.

like that in the past. He also said Kirby Smart was a bad hire. He just never mentions his bad picks ever again while repeating his correct ones for years and years.

are challenged and disproven. He'll literally jump into namecalling when his opinions are challenged and disproven, then he doubles down on the error.
Other than that he does a good job.

He also uses "if" statements and circular logic with his takes. That way if something goes wrong he has a fall back for how he was still correct about the subject.
There was one poster that followed his game picks on here a few years back...it definitely wasn't as good as he proclaimed to be.

There's not really much to say other than Walt is an idiot.
By any objective measure of QB fundamentals, Cade is better. He reads the field better, his accuracy is better, he's faster, his balls spiral better, he throws the deep ball better, his footwork is better, he clearly has more initiate and command of the offense with a sense of urgency. Outside of some decision making as a freshmen, he's better in almost every category.

DJ certainly does not have a more accurate arm than Cade but I guess it could be possible he has a bit of a stronger arm. The guy can also throw a 95+ mph fastball. I still think he would be better off giving baseball a try but maybe that will come down the road.

That’s exactly what I mean, DJ can throw the ball faster and harder, But he can’t hit a wide-open receiver 20 yards away

He's incapable of admitting mistakes.
He embarrasses himself when his opinions are wrong, and this is no different. Deep down I wonder if he really believes his nonsense about DJ, or if he's really that delusional.

FYI, DJU’s PFF rating for 2022 was in the neighborhood of 79.
Only Phil Mafah had a better PFF (~ 81).

Dj had great games this year. As you can see with wake forest but he had awful games too. Carolina game. The inconsistency of not knowing which DJ was going to show up for the game is costly.

PFF is what it is. This metric includes both good games and bad games, along with rating factors that include a degree of difficulty for each play.
I realize that any suggestion of DJU as playing well is not popular on TNet, but PFF is a more meaningful metric than any of the radio personality or callers to those shows.

None of us can judge Cade yet just like we should not have judged DJU after the Notre Dame a couple of years ago. Time will tell but I guess they are both 0-1 after their first starts.

That's very true but the DJ I saw against the coots was not as good as the Cade I saw against UT, even with all his mistakes.

CK2 will be much better after he learns to make better decisions with most aspects of QB play.
Let’s hope that he evolves quickly in this area.
(***). We should not over react and jump all over him if his play in the early games of 2023 does not meet our (over blown) expectations. I hope that we are more patient with CK2 than we were with DJU.

DJ will not be winning the Heisman or be the 1st round draft pick that Walt predicted. DJ may never set foot in an NFL camp.
Walt has issues admitting when wrong. It's just Walt being Walt, but that doesn't change the fact he was COMPLETELY wrong.
He used to say DJ couldn't show his skills because, "WRs are THE problem", and now that we've seen a QB connect with those same exact receivers, Walt is desperate to hide his error.
Walt is cool. But he was flat wrong and needs a ton more humility.

I used to listen to Walt regularly, and he used to be right more than he was wrong for certain. Since his heart attack, he slipped a lot. Not sure if he’s confused, or just getting older and not quite as sharp as he once was

Not popular on TNet, but DJU’s PFF grade for 2022 season was 79+.
Second only to Phil Mafah.
Maybe Walt’s unpopular opinion had a lot of merit.

Before the 2021 season, do ya'll remember when Walt compared Clemson's starters versus Alabama's starters. He said there wasn't a coach in America who would start Bryce Young over DJ. With Williams and Metchie at Bama, Walt also said none of Alabama's receivers would start for Clemson.
