Big Dave taking us all to task for being meanies. Again.

"You can question DJ's play, but not his heart or his character."

So here's the thing, Big Daddy Dave, fans tend to want wins. And now that they have a sense that journeymen portal players like your son are being paid a hefty sum for their services, they've shifted from wanting to expecting those wins.

Welcome to professional sports. Heart and character are of little overt concern.

Best of luck to him..
I generally don’t worry too much about FSU’s players though….

but by and large and to a great extent, he is an average QB with an inconsistent arm who has a tendency to hold the ball too long and is slow to read and react to defenses. I don't think anyone has ever questioned his desire, character or integrity.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


DJ has historically determined where the ball is going before the snap.

He either can't read the playbook or he can't think with things around him are moving. Any play with an option brings this on. Either a pass play or an RPO, he's always going to make the decision before the count.

The justification for your observation is that sometimes DJ guesses correctly. When that happens twice or three times in a row fans began to think he's turned a corner. However, he will always be DJing it up no matter where he plays.

He might get drafted but he will never make it past the scout team.

But she's a pretty mediocre HS point guard. And no amount of my tweeting about her integrity and commitment will change that fact. So I don't. Maybe Dave should give it up, too.

He could wind up being a professional transfer player (mercenary). Probably more money there than trying to make it in the NFL.

He is getting paid to play, not for his heart or character. Big Dave has never been the brightest bulb on the tree but he sure knows how to manipulate people and make false claims about how gifted his son is.

Jeez. 3 years later and still his dad is yappin'. 3 years later and his son is still an average (a generous word for sure) QB. I'm ready for them both to not be around any universities anymore.

I don’t think anyone in Clemson questioned his son’s heart or character. Dabo gave him 2 full seasons to develop and improve. FSU may not give him half of one. Different circumstances but still.

As Big Dave goes, those comments were pretty tame. When he is really calling someone to task, he doesn’t usually beat around the bush.

He's had a rocky football career, but if he's really taking in $3 million a year as reported here, let's not feel too sorry for him. Provided his old man doesn't fleece him, and he finds a financial advisor with half a brain, DJ should be fixed for life. He seems like a good person, so he will thrive in some kind of business.

After football maybe he can start a NIL agency for college players as he has the experience to navigate the portal.

Apparently Big Dave is known as Uncle Dave as well and he acts as an Agent for NiL deals. One of the shows on XM was talking about him doing that for several Polynesian players and specifically Jaydan Miavia who left UNLV for Southern Cal.

I get wanting to support your kid, but it just seems pathetic to live through and find your validation through your kid. I wish DJ well, but his dad being such a lightning rod is not advancing his cause.

I’m sure he is a good kid- though not really a kid anymore- and I’m sure he has impeccable character. That’s probably why Dabo gave him so much time to come around. From what I hear, his work ethic is outstanding as well. He just never produced, and I hate that for him.

Than big Dave. He wants so badly to sit up in the stands and be noticed by tv or the big screen whooping it up. He must be really sad that his kid turned out to be just a mediocre player and he can’t show out like he would love to be doing. Security job awaits him soon.
