Re: J. Ross unfortunately lost millions due to Clemson QB play on 2021

Many people referred to it as a similar injury to Mike W. If that is true, while it is very scary, he was given the greenlight to play. If he can play then there are only couple issues I see from a draft position. Dabo and Staff proclaimed they protect players at all costs, and I tend to agree. But we all know Dabo paints a better picture then may be true on injuries, has happened often over the years. But if Ross injury was same as or nearly same as M Williams, then he didn't play at same level following the surgery. That said, if I believe Dabo, then the QB play and the OL play caused a fall in production.

So where am I missing the point that ppl want to TD me? I am praising Ross saying he missed out on millions. So where is the fault. I have said that he lost millions due to OL and QB play. I have said this star had lost millions due to playing wrong positions which the staff totally missed that! Anyone that says Ross is a slot player is crazy.

Ross lost millions because the QB, the OL and placing Ross in the wrong spot. Obviously his health was an issue but we didn't put him in his best position. You look at the evolution of the season and you could see the decline in effort at some levels.

I wanted Ross to be a multi-millionaire, how am I being negative towards the program when everything I have said is true??

I see what you’re trying to sell here, but from the rest of the responses, ugh! Let’s start with Justin, freshman year was phenomenal! Did he have a better QB for two years, no one will argue that, of course he did. But, I could tell something was wrong in his Sophomore year. I couldn’t pin point it during the season, but in the playoffs vs Ohio State is where something was wrong. He didn’t seem himself, he was catching passes, but hit after hit he was looking like Cam Newton. Then the LSU game did him in. Once we all got made aware of a condition he was dealing with for a while, if you stop to think about it, Cooper Manning (Payton/Eli brother) comes to mind. He had the same issue that ended his chances of ever playing football.

For Justin, it was just a matter of time, yes the surgery was a success, but sitting out a year, not being able to fully do the physical intensive workouts and training he was accustomed to doing really set him back more. Look he’s human, he’s had to realize he’s not invincible, this type of condition nobody is .

To blame this past season on bad QB play, well that’s a reach. Justin just wasn’t the same, and honestly yes he was out of his comfort zone at the slot position, but still he wasn’t strong enough physically yet to comeback full force. Should he have come back this year, who says he can’t! It’s a new era of College Football, NIL, heck he can come on back, get physically right, gain some confidence once again at his normal position and show last year was just a feeling through the motions type of year.

To blame DJ is a reach, I blame DJ for a lot of things but Justin Ross isn’t one of them. Justin did what he had to do, unfortunately he just wasn’t ready, but if he comes on back, gets physically right, works hard, we might just see the Justin Ross we all came to know on the field.
