So... if he doesn't do what got him benched, then he'll be a great pick-up for someone. Yeah, well, if he didn't do what got him benched then... he wouldn't have gotten benched!
The problem for DJ isn't talent - it's consistency. He just can't get it for whatever reason. That's what any future team will have to contend with.

If he had of done those things differently at Clemson, he wouldn't be looking for another team right now would he, duuuhhhh!!!! Laying all the jabs on DJ aside, I do believe that a good QB coach could do good things with DJ as a QB. The kid has all the tangibles for making a serviceable NFL QB. He has the height for looking over the O line, he has the husky build to absorb the abuse, he has the big hands, and he can zip the ball when needed, he just needs to learn when he needs that zip. A real QB coach would have a pretty easy task of putting DJ on the right path to becoming a decent NFL QB, IMO!!!

Hey Greg, if DJ could so all of those things, he'd still be the starter and Clemson would be headed back to the CFP.

Was that a subtle hint when he said "get the right pieces around him".
Wish him nothing but the best. Hopefully getting closer to home will help him relax. Maybe somewhere like a San Diego st, Fresno st that has no pressure to make the cfp.
Will it be telling on Streeter if he goes elsewhere and corrects all that. I'm asking, not stating a fact.

Yes his next stint will be a real indication of whether he gets in his own way or he just didn’t have the right person to develop him. Time is the true test.

I read an article...
Dec 8, 2022, 2:18 PM
[ in reply to Re: Ole Greg has a real grasp of the obvious... ] |

that listed the five best transfer fits for DJ. They were:
1 - UCLA
2 - Arizona State
3 - Virginia
4 - Notre Dame
5 - Oregon
I don't think DJ is a good enough runner or accurate enough passer to fit the scheme either that UCLA or Oregon runs. DJ is just not a dual threat QB. He's more of a pro-style QB who needs to work on his accuracy and pocket awareness. Just my opinion.

I have never believed that Streeter was a college QB coach, and I thought that Trevor was a better QB his 1st and 2nd season over his last season, and that was before Streeter had a less chances to start screwing with his mechanics. Same with DW4, his stats were worse his last season than his first two.

My thoughts exactly. We should reexamine our QB coaches. Deshaun dipped a little his last year but still remained amazing. Trevor was worse his last 2 years.

You might be asking, but the facts are if all the if's that McElroy threw out there get corrected, then it will certainly be telling. Not only will it be telling for Streeter, but it would be telling for Elliot. DJ actually looked worse last year.
To this point none of our QB's have left and thrived. Bryant did OK for a little bit, but then faded. The most successful would probably be Chase Brice, but it took him 2 transfers, and at ASU the competition is not quite as good. However, DJ has had significant playing time and will be judged differently because of it.

That is what I have been thinking too. What coach is going to have the patience and understanding to nurture him through his insecurities like Dabo did? Very few coaches would take the time to do that. If DJ transfers, he better realize he will be on his own and needs to fix what is wrong on his own initiative. Great comment C-gal!

You make the assumption that he needs to be coddled. I think that most of Dabo's comments were for Dabo. DJ has said all of the right things and off the field, done all of the right things. I think that DJ needs some help developing the ability to forget a bad play, but I don't think that he needs to be babied in the least.

He dumped on him and Clemson all year. Now in the portal, he thinks he could be great. I sincerely hope he is. However, Greg flips as quick as Streeter with what he says (not ready/has been ready).

Almost sounds like a crack at Streeter, definitely didn't give any credit to Streeter for developing DJ
Gonna be a big pill to swallow if DJ goes elsewhere and he plays the season as good as his freshman games. If that happens Dabo better be willing to make some changes if he doesn't after this season ends. I think we need a QB coach even if Streeter is still our OC this coming season because there has been zero development of any QBs he has coached over his tenure. They all have thrown more INTs than they do during their Freshman yr.

Actually you could take all the caveats McElroy listed for DJ to have success and apply them to any player on the team - don’t lock in on one receiver, get through progressions, throw more accurately, etc etc etc - and turn a safety or tight end into a successful QB. The contortions people are twisting themselves into to find a silver lining for this guy as a QB just make me shake me head. The guy can’t throw a spiral 65% of the time and can’t read a D either pre or post snap and isn’t accurate. The QB discussion stops there.

Dec 8, 2022, 2:36 PM

that still don't believe all of our struggles were due to DJ and still think our offensive scheme is bad. They also still aren't sold on Streeter as an OC or QB coach.
It makes sense that anyone with those opinions would still have optimism for DJ in a new system with new coaches.
I guess we will see how things go with Klubnik and DJ elsewhere.

I am beginning to believe that the scheme was bad because the playbook had been simplified for DJ. I need to watch the upcoming Orange Bowl to see which plays are called.

Same here.
I think the "playbook" required processing and decision making, which DJ might have struggled with. Based on a small sample size, Cade appears to process (and act) more quickly.

Oh, DJ will be a difference maker all right… Hopefully in a more positive way than he was for us.
I saw something that had him as the #1 transfer QB, which to anyone who watched the last two years is downright insane.
Yeah, if you surrounded him with OSU’s WR’s and O-line, maybe his performance improves, but if a QB needs the best talent in the country to be successful, is he really that good?

Dan Orlovsky, who I love as an analyst, said “watching the ball come out of Klubnik’s hands while on the field for pregame warmups I couldn’t help but think that’s the way a ball should look when thrown by a big time qB.” He said nothing about the fact that DJ could throw the ball out of the stadium or threw a wall. Watching the game on Saturday the first thing I noticed was that Klubnik throws a catchable ball. I’m not a football coach I don’t know the terminology but there is a reason our great receivers suddenly couldn’t catch DJ passes? It’s not simply because he threw too hard thoug

Just don't continue messing up the same things you have struggled with for two years and you'll be a great QB for someone...

if i could just “be more accurate with the football,” not “lock in on one specific receiver . . . be willing to get my eyes through my progressions a little bit faster with more urgency,” and significantly step up my intermediate accuracy. Do all that, put all the right pieces around me, and I could win the heisman.
Greg Mcelroy has opened my eyes. I mean if I could just become a really good quarterback and play on a really good team, then I could be really good.
What an idiot
