Hey, take a break from beating up on Dabo and walk down the DJU Memory Lane for a minute. Here is what an NFL draft expert said would keep D.J. from going very high in the upcoming draft, if he chooses to enter it.

“Is a statue in the pocket who doesn’t move his feet unless he intends to run downhill to pick up yards. He can be an easy target for defenders who get penetration.
• Struggled with consistent accuracy at Clemson, largely due to his inability to control the amount of touch he puts on the ball. It’s unpredictable whether the pass will be a soft touch attempt or a bullet.
• Shows a long, winding passing motion that starts low and has too much room for error. Shortening this could bring stability to his accuracy.
• More dependent on his supporting cast than he is a creator for the offense, as he’s not a dynamic runner or a reliable enough passer to sustain a consistent offense.
• Has issues leading his receivers upfield, often throwing to where they are rather than where they’re going.’

Sound familiar? The draft analyst noted that D.J. was a highly coveted high school recruit and that when he filled in for Trevor in his freshman year, D. J. was so promising that everyone assumed the transition to Life After Trevor would be seamless. The fact that the transition was such a shocking failure is at the root of all the heartache now consuming Dabo and our Tigers.

He should not have taken the bait. He should not have gone off. I, for one, am not ready for Dabo to go anywhere. I am frustrated with this year and the previous two….heartbroken. At the end of the day, I don’t think anyone wants this, ESPECIALLY the players and COACHES. If it hurts us this bad, think of how they are hurting. This may not age well, but I think the team will rally behind Dabo and make something happen. We have not gotten a break in a while, maybe it’s time. I will be wearing Orange on Saturday and will be cheering as hard as I can as a home 3-point underdog.

And Dabo, just don’t take the bait from these folks or anyone else fans or media. Do your talking on the field.

Will the players back Dabo with great play and a home win vs. Notre Dame?
