Is Clowney the most overrated player of the decade?


Aug 11, 2013, 12:25 AM

Today, the supposed "tough guy" doesn't want to play football because his shoulder hurts a little bit. The Mich hit is what everything is based off of and I could lay a hit like that if I had been as unblocked by an out to lunch OLman as he was. LSU ran over him like a bulldozer and even our meek little ACC DL was able to smash their running game in the face.

for a defensive player to win it, no offensive player can have a super year and the defensive guy would have to break a record for something or other. (sacks,picks,etc.)

I think clowney will be a Heisman lock if he is able to knock the helmet off two players this year.

last years success was based on knocking one helmet off.

As a sophomore hes 8 away from tiein their school record for sacks. OMG...he had 4.5 against us in our house himself. And you are calling him overrated. Ever imagine how that makes us look?

A lot of our own Tiger fans will most likely judge the Clown as a coot, and not by his ability to play FB. But before he became a coot, Tiger Nation wanted him to become a Tiger if we could have gotten him into Clemson.

Aug 11, 2013, 5:00 PM

What I'm saying is that Clowney would have been sitting on the sidelines if he was deemed academically ineligible while at Clemson ala Martavis Bryant and the Chick-fil-a bowl. Meanwhile, you have to try and fail at USuC according to some recruits. Spurrier would never hold him out of a game for that. I wouldn't be surprised if Clowney made the Dean's list or something fishy like that.

If he was told you have to put in a lot of effort at Clemson to play vs. you don't have to worry, you'll get your play time at USuC...which do you think Clowney would choose and be honest? Doesn't matter if their academic requirements for ENTRY are the same when they are not the same while their ATTENDING the university. If you think they are, then your kidding yourself.

Re: maybe just a little


Aug 11, 2013, 10:59 PM

Agreed. The michigan hit has gotten too much publicity and while it was a great show of athleticism it was still a busted assignment by um. Still, all of the people who want to point out the busted assignment seem to want to forget every other play he has made. They also want to overlook that, while he is better against the pass, he has not been a weakness against the run. He may be overhyped but thats because the media has to overhype someone. His play isnt overated though. He is a very good DE who will be the top pick in the NFL draft.

The Mich tackle was pretty much by accident. Clowney was not accelerating when the Mich running back ran right in to him. I remember the hardest I ever got hit playing FB was when I ran into the back on one of the lineman that was just standing there. I ran right into his back and I thought I was dead. Yea, seems like I remember LSU having their way with the Gamecocks. The ran and passed on them like they weren't even on the field. Where was the Clown when all that was going on?
