As someone who recently graduated from Oregon State, I’m really happy to see DJU on the team. The school and team have an awesome culture full of guys who are hungry to prove the nation wrong. There’s so many people hating on DJU and the beavs and I can wait for them to be silenced after this season. GO BEAVS
As a South Carolina fan. DJU was my favorite player last year. He will be missed.
I hear ya. Us bulldogs loved Anthony Richardson.
Dude went 8 for 29 against SC 😂 never seen such a bad stat line
ND fans love DJ too!
Lol
Bruh u being petty
It’s fair to criticize scheme, but when you air mail 5 yard slant routes, hit the dirt on simple out routes, and fumble handoffs consistently that’s not on the scheme. That’s on him.
Exactly---makes it easy to forget his record-breaking performances & blame everything on him so Clemson will be fine without him, right?...
Well he's a tight end playing qb so
@@GBamaBoy Klubnik was awful vs Tennessee, to be fair, & didn't look improved for even the spring game----I know it's "just a spring game" but to have one of the lowest YPA's in the sport is hard to ignore for bringing in one of the most expensive OC's known for the opposite of a low YPA
@@Greydawg You want to bring up one game(that he still LOST btw) and ignore 20 other games he looked like absolute dogshit? Ok🤡🤡
@@Greydawg The Spring game was nothing like last year's when it was a two-man QB face-off. Dabo rotated 4 QBs, the result being that the sample size is not enough to work with.
No matter how complex or "basic" the offense scheme is. If you cant hit a open receiver you just cant hit a open receiver. I feel like his accuracy issues is what lead to the the so called "basic" scheme. You can't run complex route trees if your qb cant hit a 5 yard dig route. Or if he gets stuck on his first read and doesnt go through his progressions. I wish him the best and hope he succeeds at Oregan State.
When your receivers are running route trees that seem to be designed by a flag football coach, what is he supposed to do?
@@BlackMountainCycleseasy. He should still be accurate with the football
@@mtDNA_Refresh he had a 61% completion percentage. Improved from 2021, and only 5% less accurate than CJ Stroud was in 2022. Stroud has the talent to be a #1 overall pick. Stroud also had the best WR room in the country to throw to. So a 5% drop off from that, with all things considered, is not bad by any means.
@@BlackMountainCycles Your reaching for something that isn't there. The O coordinator was terrible. DJ IS not a good QB. Nice guy, bad QB. He can't read the field. He can't throw the ball. He's a statue in the pocket. His poor play is Dabo's and his fault. He is not blameless.
@@kevinsnipes826 reaching at stats? Lol 61% is not a “bad qb”. You’re doing whatever you can to justify a 5 star QB bailing.
Well, after today, it's clear that DJ is a much better fit at OSU. We're happy to have him, and GO BEAVS!
Certainly fair points are made here by Josh, but the bottom line is that Dabo did nothing but support DJ and did so publicly too. Also, he gave DJ chance after chance until he literally had no other choice but to bench him. Then after all that, DJ comes out and publicly bad mouths his former team? That’s not cool.
We're responding to it badly I think is all.
Both are a fault plus Dabo can be stubborn that obvious
Important to note, Dabo agreed fully with him. Dabo fired the OC because it wasn’t working.
@@RIPCityBeav That’s great. Still doesn’t excuse DJ for publicly bad mouthing them though.
@@RIPCityBeavSorta? Don't forget, Dabo has always said he was keeping Streeter---the one and only condition against it was being able to get a guy he'd never met (Riley) to take the job within 24 hours of their chance encounter 🤷♂
Streeter was offensive coordinator at both Liberty and Richmond before going to Clemson to wait for his turn. Both teams improved during his time with them. Dabo didn’t look elsewhere because of that agreement. DJ is a class act and I wish him well! He did not perform to his own or anyone else’s expectations and that is on him. DJ even admitted that if he were Dabo he would have benched himself earlier. Sometimes things happen just to make room for what’s ahead. It could be that everyone is where they are supposed to be for now and I wish everyone well!
Damn DJ you gotta master the basics
Lousy QB
Bama fan here. Sometimes you just ain’t good enough. Look at all the 5 Star qbs who never play. There’s a lot of them. DJ happens to be one of them.
He hasn't been benched yet now he's a starter at Fsu😂
First off, Flotown, SC getting two shout out's in less than a month?!? This must be the good life. Secondly, DJ will have to show and prove. If it was because of Clemson it'll show if it's DJ it'll show. Good luck DJ, the internet is forever.
As someone who grew up with some of the guys in the team I can tell you that their were definitely things going on with DJ that were personal. Young man went through a lot
That makes sense, because there were games I was like did his girl cheat on him or something
Yea personal that had to do with his family. Clemson and Dabo were good to DJ. Clemson fans we were not so nice.
Film don’t lie.
If DJ were a top 10 college QB: Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Notre Dame & several other major programs would have sought his services via the portal.
Oregon state not major?
Major crap
Dj has the physical abilities to be preform on any lvl. Saying that, Dj does not process fast enough for a college qb much less pro. Time will show, no oc is going to be able to overcome what Dj has in his helmet.
I agree. the 2021 UGA game DJ failed to make the most basic reads. I am a UGA fan, but Clemson lost opportunities simply because of the QBs inabilities to read a defense. I hope he can learn in the new environment.
FYI- Dabo didn't promote a guy that had never been an OC. Streeter had great stints at Richmond and Liberty and was an understudy in Tony and Jeffs system. Love the content.
DJ Ukulele will always be his name to me
😂😂😂
Are going to act like we didn’t all watch this man option pitch the ball directly to the other team? 😂😂 Pate come on man. DJ is not even going to start at OSU.
I mean but we also saw him throw the ball for 439yds in literally his first start ever at Notre Dame. Not giving him a pass cuz he clearly regressed but he also clearly has the talent to be very very good.
DJ’s first start was the game before against Boston College where Clemson struggled in. He then lost vs Norte Dame the following week. Trevor Lawrence then smacked Norte Dame later in the year. He should have been drafted today (he was in the same class as Bryce Young) but he has underperformed constantly. Clemson is way better off without him.
Are you trying to act like DJ was the reason yall lost to ND? That's comical, but that's what I've come to expect from the Clemson fan base.
Hes not good.
I think DJ’s mechanics are suspect. But in fairness, it’s the QB coach who is suppose to correct that…I think DJ can be successful at OSU. He’s gotta clean up some stuff.
Felt this … I was the starting QB at NDSU during the 2021 football season and was 7-0 but in the 6th game had an AC joint injury and still played game 7 and played terribly and got DOGGED for it even though the prior 6 games I played amazing. Literally got boo’d of the field at a home game!!! Ended up losing my job basically because I couldn’t play and lost all confidence in playing the position so I transferred and had to clear myself from everything that happened and finally got back to normal.
Stay healthy man.
I watched you that season! You were great. What are you doing now?
Thanks man !! I play for Temple University now I have a year left
@@quincypattersonii5242 you in my hometown. Ball out. Hope to hear/see your name called.
Hope you stay healthy and ball out!!
DJ has always been in my opinion over hyped since he was in HS. I remember watching him in HS and telling everyone, this will be as good as it EVER gets for him. Everyone said I was crazy.
I love dju and wish him well, but rg3 has my favorite call ever. Talking about a DJ overthrow, “if that ball was a grenade no one would have been hurt”
Where do you find the shotgun vs under center percentage for college teams?
100% agree with the receiver room, we gotta have some dominant deep threats emerge quickly.
Who r your 4 playoff teams in 2023
@@johnmandock56 USC will destroy the PAC 10 and make it. Georgia has no threat in the east and will make it with or a without an SEC title. Big 10 is either Michigan or OSU like always, leaning OSU. The last spot is tough... I don't think the Big 12 will make it this year so either the ACC champs (go tigers) or the SEC runner up.
I don't think Ohio state's not beating Michigan at Michigan this year. It will be three straight wins for Michigan, besides Ohio State lost their quarterback . Michigan's quarterback will be much better
DJs comments are as accurate as his passing.
C'mon, he's good, but even at his ceiling he's not THAT good. 🤔
There is a reason Clemson got a new OC not saying he is absent of blame but look at the whole picture
@@Slick_Nick7567 kinda, remember Dabo was keeping Streeter if he couldn't hire Riley within 24 hours of meeting him sight unseen
Oregon state coaching is tremendous. Great offensive minds. Let's see what happens .
Thanks totally agree
With DJ comments on Clemson, if he starts the season poorly the heat from media & social media might bite him in the 🍑
Oregon state coach is smart enough to play to his qb strengths.
Apparently not
He killed 8000 worms and 3745 Pigeons. Scheme has zero to do w Accuracy. He was given the keys for 2 years. Ran the offense into the ditch. His teammates and coaches NVR had anything derogatory to say. Then he does this. Speaks volumes to me.
Go gettem DJ!!! Do you, uso! 💪🏾🤙🏾
As a Clemson fan, I have mixed feelings. Frustrations with our scheme and Streeter were (from my experience) more common for the most part than frustrations with DJ last year (SC game being an exception). But at the same time, that doesn’t account for his accuracy. Maybe not feeling comfortable has some role in that, but there were some BAD throws. Either way, wish him the best, I’ll be cheering for the Beavers this year
you can't blame any offensive coordinator for some of DJs issues. Also, DJ played his first full season under Tony Elliot as OC. The offense actually got better under Brandon Streeter.
The offense got better? Really? How so? Honest question.
@@Greydawg From a pure stats standpoint, Clemson averaged about 50 more yards per game and 7 more points per game. Nothing was radically different about scheme or anything, but the results were better
Hey Mr Pate state with all due respect Streeter had been an offensive coordinator at the lower level before dabo hired him as QB coach! No worries just don't want people coming down on u also that offense won 2 national championships and u can't say it's a win win for DJ how can u say that ? He is a good kid I just don't think he shrug off mistakes look at him at Syracuse all the interceptions after that he was garbage last yr. Time tells all I enjoy ur show U DA MAN
Pate been hittin' the weights hard 💪🏽
Sounds like all those people in Chicago blaming Walmart for leaving and taking no accountability, offense was basic because you can’t compete a pass pass 10 yards, you don’t think that would hurt the offensive play calling? Dude trying to play the victim card.
lol wal-mart has closed tons of stores all around the country. Has nothing to do with Chicago, Portland etc, stop falling for the fox news bs...fyi the most stores closed were in Texas, North Carolina then Arkansas..
The guy couldn't even throw a screen pass. Also how do you get intercepted on a pitch play. Lol
Coached high school football for 39 years at a very large school. Observing DJ, I saw a QB who appeared to “see the rush” not the field. Great QB’s will stand in and get blasted as they throw the ball knowing they have a completion. No drills to cure this problem. It is ingrained in the individual, no fault of his. We’ll see how he does this year.
We'll see how he does at Oregon State and how Clemson does with a new OC and QB. Hope all goes well for each.
Hey, its possible he could be the next Jalen Hurts
There both lousy , who are your 4 playoff teams in 2023.
@@johnmandock56Georgia OSU, UM and Bama
@@allthingsbengals I don't think Ohio state's going to make it this year.
@@johnmandock56 idk man they pretty stacked
Tiger fan here. DJ said nothing that wasn’t already known. He may have done well filling for TL vs ND, but still lost the game. (TL dismantled ND later in the CFPs). DJ turned the ball over in the red zone that led to the only time GA found the end zone in 2021 for what started the Georgia rise. DJ couldn’t be trusted and made tragic decisions that cost the tigers when playing high ranked teams. I think both Streeter and Elliot is out because of this even tho Elliot took the VA head coach job. The whispers around CU were “glad that he’s(Elliot) gone”. The numbers improved for DJ the second year, but you would get good DJ mid season, and tragic DJ in the post season. I hope him the best, but they missed on him as far as mental abilities.
Regardless of what everyone thinks I guarantee you DJ will be a high draft pick after his play at Oregon this coming season.
As an Oregon State fan I was skeptical AF why DJ was coming but after watching his play at Clemson he is spot on. Never mind his stats were better in 2022 than in 2021. I guess we will see what happens this year but the beavs were just shy of a quality QB last year and we're glad to have him. That all said, Oregon State also recruited a Frosh QB that is the shizz. DJ better learn quick because he is in a run for the money with Aiden based on how they looked during the Spring game.
Happy to see DJU go to a team that can utilize him more. As a Clemson fan, I definitely agree with DJ because you can tell that he wasn't "all-in" with us. One game I'd like to highlight is Wake Forest, DJ has the capability to win against a high powered offense. Every game he lost, you could tell it was something off about him so by DJ coming out and saying what it was, I'm like "ohhhh makes sense". I'm a big DJ fan, and I hope that he goes out there and shakes the PAC12. Don't be surprised if he pulls a "Wake Forest" performance out there and goes to the championship
DJ feels like another version of Spencer Rattler. Problems at the previous school caused underperformance to expectations and transferring to somewhere different to grow and show out. Hoping for the best for him
Rattler had 2 games last year that were "good," and that was Vandy and Tennessee. Rattler had his broken clock moments, but he still wasn't that good.
DJ won't beat out that Freshman at Oregon State.
No Spencer Rattler had an insane ego problem, DJ has been humble
It all makes sense now
As a South Carolina gamecocks fan, my opinion on Clemson, the O line didn't block for him,In their bowl game Klubnick (DJs successor) had a lot of green on his uniform, no blocking.
My only annoyance with DJ is that he ever went to Clemson in the 1st place. IF he had these types of opinions going in. if he's always had thoughts like this i would've told him to play for somebody else from the jump. that's the point of the recruitment cycle process he went through. He's allowed his evaluation as a player to be impacted by his decision making on a basic level because my main conclusion when i hear any of his excuses/ explanations, is why did you go to Clemson in the 1st place if these were important things to you? you know those Bryce and stroud kids from ur home state that you were so Confident you were better than you wouldn't even see them for a week in oregon? They did their homework, They took that process seriously. and guess what? "they ain't got no worries!" *lil Wayne voice* they're about nfl starters next season. all i think of him is he better grow up.
Wait, really? Dude BEAT Bryce Young on the field, then was consequently offered by absolutely everybody, then when he finally did play... *he broke an all-time record that still holds today* & threw for more yards in a game than Trevor Lawrence ever did, all on the road against a playoff team coming off a bye-week. He was a HUGE get for Clemson, make no mistake.
We saw his ceiling; even if many fans forgot, some of us can't. Even Trevor got worse.
That's not to say DJ was elite, but that Clemson hasn't been developing QB's but the opposite, all while the WR's & o-line have gotten fundamentally less competitive outright.
Listen. I like DJ as a person but the offense was dumbed down bc he couldn’t hit a barn door with a football.
Dj came to school when everybody left to nfl I’m glad dj left keep his dream alive
We will see if he can back up his claim in the fall or if it’s all talk
South Carolina will miss DJ 😂🎉
This is why I'm all in on the transfer portal. You only have 4/5 years to make the best of your opportunity. These coaches don't care about you individually, they care about winning and keeping their job. It has to be a win win situation for you.
I'm happy that he found a good football fit at OSU.
I believe guys in the future are going to stack themselves for 3 years behind 4/5 star guys at a big school.
They will go to lesser school in a power 5 conference, so they can play and show what they got to get to the next level.
DJs first year was under tony Elliot, after a year of studying under Trevor Lawrence. DJs number improved drastically the first year with Streeter. The offense immediately looked like Clemson’s brand of offense the moment that Cade took the field. The problem is DJ. He’s too slow for the big stage, mentally. Everyone else is moving faster than him in the field, both mentally and physically. If not for his size, people would have been done with him a long time ago. The only thing he needs to say is “thank you” to Dabo for being willing to simplify the offense to the point of simple screen passes (which he repeatedly missed) and nothing but unwavering public support.
DJ was bad for two years though.
In ‘21 you still had Elliot, who won two titles for us and the offense with DJ fell off the map.
There was some talk about i jury that year as well… and we heard all last offseason how DJ was slimmer/trimmer and healthy.
And to be fair to both he and Streeter: in the beginning of the year DJ did play better and this year overall the offense improved.
But DJs issues weren’t just a new inexperienced OC or injuries. It may have been fit in the system. But it was also his inaccuracy, inability to run the ball or make the run option reads quick enough.
Let’s see what he does at Oregon State… but after watching him for two years plus, I would be surprised if he becomes a big name in the NFL draft discussions.
I agree BUT I felt the same way about Anthony Richardson and bruh just went 4 overall lol
He improved a lot last season.
I also think that DJ got knocked down on his buttocks during the first game so much that it rattled his whole game including confidence and timing!
DJ U is going to absolutely ball tf out…because he’s playing in the Pac 12
Same player, different league
Not to mention his brother is a not too far drive in Eugene, Oregon
The phone wasn’t ringing. That’s why he’s at O state .
Oregon state major school in p5 right?
@@SS-fb7zd He actually called up Oregon state, not the other way around.. then Oregon state didn't get back to him for over a week.
Well, he can prove it one way or another this season.
that "scheme" produced two NFL starters....
DJ was supposed to be the #1 pick in the 2023 draft
Clemson hopefully find at least a 3 star H.S. QB because the program was lucky in having Watson then Lawrence during their times at QB. Also having Etienne, Higgins, and 3rd and Renfro was a great blessing of timing. and gathering of awesome talent.
Coach Dabo can still get Clemson to at least the ACC Championship so Clemson fans do not despair I'm sure your team should be mentioned at least as a CFP candidate.
Go NOLES, Clemson O was sorry again this year.DJU will have his Best season at FSU, under Coach Norvell 🔥🏈🏆
After watching the spring game, I’m not sure DJ will even start at Oregon St.
A hearty GUFFAW!
It was a combination of things. Bad schemes by an inexperienced offensive coordinator, a bad receiving core, and DJ's inconsistency and lack of speed.
And subpar offensive line. I think everyone's forgetting the line was pretty bad too.
BC football segment when?
There’s a reason Bama recruited Bryce Young and not DJU. There’s also a reason Saban and Kirby didn’t even try to sign him out of the portal when both have QB issues. If the two best coaches in CFB thought it was just a scheme issue, they would have been all over him.
To be clear, Alabama absolutely recruited *and offered* DJU including both before and after DJ beat Bryce Young on the field.
C'mon fam, I know memories are short but dang. 💯
What made DJ look good when Lawrence went down was Travis Etienne masking DJ's weaknesses
The offense was a problem which is why Dabo made a change at OC but let’s not act like DJ wasn’t a problem 😂
When was the last receiver drafted out of Clemson?
2020?

State or Ducks next NFL draft...?
DJ
Freshman QB Aaron Chiles looked like HIM in the spring game. OSU is set for the future.
Whatever DJ thought was wrong with Clemson's offense...that didn't cause him miss receivers by 5 yards repetitively.
DJ proved what kind of player he was after his first 3 underwhelming performances as a starter. He was more interested in dressing in a suit for his post game loss vs Georgia.
When was the last time Clemson even had a receiver drafted?
2020?
What round?
Oui Ung Ole Le. Go Beaves!!! 🦫
And now to week 11 of the 2023 season, and DJ has been very good for Oregon State - 20 TD 4 INT - and Oregon State is #11 in the country, with a chance to beat #5 Washington tomorrow.
The talent and decision making are there; I think he can be a good NFL QB.
1) Brandon Streeter was a OC before he came to Clemson, at Richmond.
2) What DJU said was correct and incorrect at the same time…
And I believe this as well. If Tony Elliott stays on as OC, DJ would have been under center more. I also feel like his QB coach (Streeter) did him no favors trying to conform him and being upset when it didn’t work.
However, if you don’t like something, are you giving your best effort? Most people don’t. If you don’t want to run the ball or play out of the shotgun a bunch, it’s going to affect your ability to be effective.
Should Clemson had kept Streeter? I think the Tennessee game answered that question. The QB wasn’t ready when you had an entire season to get him ready and the offense looked stagnant once the field depth got shorter.
So the DJU criticism can me correct and incorrect at the same time.
I think he could be a DE, or a TE at the next level. I don't see him being a QB on Sunday when he struggles mightily on Saturday
Dj and Spencer rattler are 2 guys I’m rooting for
Yea all that being said schemes don't make you miss wide open WRs which he did regularly
When adversity hits you, how are you gonna respond to it? I think DJ clammed up and wallowed in self-doubt from it. The kid came from a winning program in high school and was labeled a top QB, so I assume the negative response was foreign to him and it eventually got to him. Wish him and Dabo all the best going forward.
People who think it isn’t the Quarterback don’t remember the year they had Kelly Bryant. In that 3 year stretch they won 2 national championships and the only thing that really changed was the QB
Sounds like Bo Nix story. He got a bad rap at Auburn. He had a different coach and coordinator each year. He is attending at Oregon.
Streeter had been a coordinator prior to his time at Clemson. (Do some research.) No one made bad throws, held the ball too long, or misread defense coverages except one person. The schemes were basically the same since the Chad Morris era. They were productive with other QBs. Coming from a lifelong Tiger fan.
That's the beauty of football coaches have different offensive and defensive ideas and philosophies I don't care about criticizing the player or anything like that I'll leave to all of you fine people sometimes it comes down to scheme fit
Truth be told, when he first hit the field we were all in belief of his hype. Dude looked like a cold stud replacing Trevor in injury. Call it beginners luck, or poor defense… the boy balled out. I mean it was an absolute tragedy watching what we watched last year. We can blame a lot of extraneous factors on his production. We can even say he should’ve done a better job selecting a program that best fits him… or can we? Dudes just chucked out Watson and Lawrence and some nattys, why would that not be his next home. What I can say is his progress stopping that was on him. He just didn’t look like he got better. Even if he felt the offense was simple, one dimensional or all the negative things he had to say, he still looked like the worse player on the field.
Lastly, what really f****d him up, was when the back-up came in and saved their season
Maybe I didn’t see the whole interview but I’d rather see him take some responsibilities for his time at Clemson. Hey it didn’t work out but let’s see what the kid can do in a new environment.
Literally worth finding the interview then, sincerely.
Eh I see a lot of comments saying Clemson dumbed down the offense for DJ. No they didn’t… they always had a super basic offense scheme wise, the problem is… two of the three QBs before DJ were Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence. Also the play calling had much more rhythm in years past. Was the scheme the reason why DJ wasn’t successful though… no. But Dabo realized he needed to make a change because it’s going to be hard to get a top 5 QB to just waltz through the door and probably shouldn’t bank on it.
'' SLOW MIND SLOW ARM '' !
Well, I am NOT in the camp that ever thought DJU was any good. Basically he made our O 1-dimensional from Day 1. He is so slow that I'm 73 yo and wanted to come to Death Valley and challenge him to a foot race. He runs slower than most linemen, especially D linemen / edge rushers. No, I am not one of those people that thought he was the answer. Never, not one single day. If anyone thinks he was bad at Clemson, just wait until he plays at Oregon State. I gotta watch that disaster. They think he's their answer. Are they ever in for a rude awakening. As for Dabo and Streeter not playing Cade, I understand Dabo just tries to give his players every opportunity to be successful, even until the obvious end. As for Streeter, he was never good at OC from Day 1, and glad he's been replaced. He will be fine at a smaller school, and I appreciate his efforts while at Clemson, but he is just not capable to OC at a top 10 school. As for DJU, I couldn't care less what he says about Clemson. He stalled so many drives, I cringed every time he had the ball. Good grief, Cade must have really been extremely bad not to have beat DJU out for starter at QB.
I get the whole coordinator thing and it wasn’t very interesting but we all saw those throws and that is all the quarterback👀
I think DJ is better off on the west coast- closer to family and likely feels more at "home". Didn't his brother commit to Oregon? So, there is that chance that Matayo at the edge could be tackling his older bro.
If DJ felt that way he should have transferred before he was shown the bench. Nobody would have been upset. How are you going to look terrible in a basic offense and improve in a more complex offense?
Who gives a ying yang!? But I’ll say this, DJ had trouble hitting high school passing plays at Clemson. Tigers had trouble with the OC position that’s true but a lot of those mistakes were on DJ. Bye Felicia.
Even as a bama fan , hate the way people talk about this kid , definitely guy im keeping my eye on , yall keep hating tho.
Clemsons offense has been underachieving for a few years now...
Bo Nix 2.0, its all about the OC with many of these guys
All that stuff said, he went to the one conference that may have a worse record for defense than the ACC.
It's not personal, DJ loves Clemson but he still wants a chance at the NFL, the narrative might bend and stretch a little bit. I'm not mad.
I was never really high on DJU.. That period where he came in for an injured Lawrence, that team was loaded with talent. It was like, "as long as he doesn't come in and is just TERRIBLE, he won't mess it up." But then Lawrence got drafted, and DJ gained a bunch of bad weight.. And even more bad weight.. And it just never looked crisp and clean when he was leading the team. Maybe this move will help him, maybe not.. But im not expecting teams in the NFL to see much value in him as a pro
