The total yardage differential right now is insane. Colorado: 21 total yards Oregon: 378 total yards As of right now, Colorado isn’t even bringing what Furman or The Citadel brings to these type massacres.

Because Sanders is about creating drama and eyeballs.

Oregon playing like…

It’s just young. And injuries have been an issue at the position the last couple years. Which hurts a program that is focused on development and not the portal. And I don’t disagree about the #4 ranking. They aren’t a top 5 team.

Ok well, I at least get to see Oregon quiet Sanders down. Reality about to hit hard.

#4 team beat them in OT…and FSU was out gained by 100+ yards on the day, lost time of possession, etc. Clemson isn’t washed. It just young talent. Young talent that isn’t being coached and managed well in games up against older, experienced portal driven teams.

Yeah, you could tell by Dabo’s reaction to that play it had a built in throw to audible to and Cade went there. But I blame Dabo for putting any decision making on Cade. He should of made it clear that was not something he could go to in that scenario regardless of what the coverage said.

Dabo’s coaching and management has really deteriorated the past couple years. Think that’s been the biggest issue for Clemson. Enough talent to get the job done in the ACC. played for a FG near the end of regulation with a kid he literally begged to come in off the street last week….and hen predictably missed. Duh. Horrible management of timeouts. Giving your young dumb QB the ability to audible out of a 3rd and 1 run play in OT to some stupid screen? And on and on. Dabo’s time might of just run its course. They can be ACC good but the Dabo magic is gone. His management of games, players, etc just isn’t there anymore.

Refs really letting FSU OL get away with a lot today. But it’s our turn to be on the other end of those…they got the stud QB and #4 ranking. But it’s aided their pass game today.

Jesus, another fumble returned for a TD right when Clemson was about to get double digits. 10 point swing right there. BRUTAL. can’t really fault Cade for once. Just a great blitz.

Not sure Nicole is the future owner. The 66 year old billionaire just married her in 2019. He has a bunch of grown children

Some of that is they are just getting a lot of time to get open. Could called a hold pretty easily to negate one of those big ones that last drive IMO

Clemson off to a good start but FSU is playing the run. Brown going down at WR with Williams being a scratch just leaves them too thin in an already weak spot. Those were the 2 dudes.

Ok. But being able to play 1960s football to beat dysfunctional teams or teams those that simply can’t stop the run…..isn’t something worth caring about being. I didn’t want Wilks. Just like I didn’t want Frank. If my options were just those 2? I would just kept Wilks. But that’s not what a team should striving to be in 2023.

Bryce did more with less? Bryce played at Alabama. But better equipped to deal with a bad situation is about physical size/skill sets. Bryce needs to be hit the least is the most traditional pocket player of the bunch.

Stroud and Richardson coming in were better equipped to deal with a bad situation. Carolina's horrific play calling and weak skill talent.....makes this a bad situation for a rookie QB. For Bryce's skillset to shine, it requires additional things to also be functional (and those aren't in Carolina right now).

Stroud was my #1. But I was content pending they took any of the 3. We simply had to play the QB lotto.

I don't think the win total matters. How Bryce Young looks at the end matters. But given we don't have a first round pick next year.....I think Frank gets a year 2 no matter what the outcome is.

Bears already David Carr'd him. Broke him. That's the danger of putting a rookie in a spot early where there isn't the talent to legitimately develop him. because Fields has wide open dudes right in front of his face at this point. He can't see and do it. He has gotten worse since entering the league.

How do I define overpaying Burns? By talking about Bosa in the same conversation.

Tepper just needs to sit down with Frank and be like: Frank. You are a good coach. But we both know you just got fired for having that call sheet in your hands. You give it to Brown or go find someone else that you will give it to. But Brown needs it until then.

understandable. Nothing worse than planning to go to a game and getting the backup. Happened to me on the road with Cam. Turned me into a late ticket buyer willing to eat that late decision cost.

Best overall defensive player start of 2023 - Luvu 2022- Luvu 2021 - Reddick 2 free agent pickups. I mean, you are literally just argued that a sack on a 2pt conversation doesn't matter if you can't point to it on a stat sheet. Stats aren't the end all be all. But Bosa and Burns' stats aren't close over the past several years. Burns is a great pass rusher. Love to have him finish the bulks of his career here. But no, I don't want to drastically overpay Burns. People keep trying to turn it into a fraudulent convo. If you like Burns you should want to overpay him, if you don't want to overpay Burns you are hater. That's silly. Carolina has a long history of overpaying. It becomes really problematic when you are talking about overpaying in the realm some are with Burns. If it comes down to Bosa-ish money? Yeah, I'd rather trade Burns. And that has little to do with Burns.

Most teams are trying to take the deep ball away from teams with explosive players and make them play small. Carolina is choosing to take it away from themselves AND defenses are playing the small ball. That's presently our big problem. Playing small ball can work pretty well when teams are playing to take vertical plays away. Teams aren't playing us to take them away. We are literally playing into what opposing defenses are playing us to do. and the only way to play into what a defenses is playing you to do.....is to have vastly superior talent. For example, loading the box vs a road grading OL and elite RB. Well, they might dare you stop them and still win that matchup. We are basically daring a defense to stop us.....and they are doing it easily. Oh, you want to come down and defend our small ball. Guess what, we are still going to play small ball with our weak WRs and predictable calls.

Burns isn't even our best player. Luvu is. That's not Burns hate. He just isn't. Burns is an elite pass rusher. One of the best in the NFL at that. But Bosa is more than that. Which again, simply acknowledging that isn't talking down Burns.
