Sometimes I feel like we forget these players are human beings and pretty young in the scheme of life (heck he is a year younger than I am). I feel bad for DJ and want to see him succeed, why do you think its just not worked out for him?
You have done plenty of videos on QBs that just don’t pan out for one reason or another. I guess this is in that category. But you’re right, this one seems a little more weird than some of the others.
Because Dj is highly overrated and nowhere near as good as he tries to claim to be. Feel bad for the guy if you won't it doesn't change the fact he sucks as a quarterback. Man deserves 0 sympathy for getting stats at Oregon State playing in the weakest power conference at the time and thinking he's him. He wasn't. 😂
There is no doubt about it. He was paid millions and essentially stole it without a ski mask and a gun. Clemson fans kept making excuses for him until they realized what sensible college football fans knew : he can't make big time throws. He just has a great frame and subpar mobility. He should retire or switch positions. But, his playing career is over because he didn't take the game seriously and wanted to bail the moment things got too tough.
good way to put it, as a notre dame fan my dad kept saying the same about Tyler buchner, how he played no competition in high school, sure enough buchner ended up being bad
@@Whynotmini that’s usually the silver lining, if they never see competition that wakes them up in high school, they get the rude awakening in college. The thing with dju is he got that rude awakening 3 times and it still hasn’t moved the needle unfortunately
I’m an Oregon State fan and I enjoyed having him play for the team. However, one thing I always noticed while he played is his inconsistency. He has moments where he makes amazing plays, but he also misses wide open throws. I’m unfortunately not surprised that it hasn’t changed at FSU
Also as an osu fan, it is pretty hard to watch his play at fsu but, sad to say, a lot of the same mistakes he’s making now are the same ones he made all last year. It was fine at osu with a great running game, great o-line, and generally poor pac-12 defenses, but life after that was always gonna be much worse. I’ll always root for a beav but part of me thinks he should’ve just stuck it out in corvo where he could’ve been “the guy” while simultaneously not have to do too much
Tell me if I’m wrong but I feel like he’s taken a couple steps back from his osu days, although I believe yall had good skill position players and like you said, overall weaker defenses.
@@havocch6508 Yeah, I think some regression was due just because of the new system and stuff. However, I guess to that point, he definitely did not have these early struggles when he first started at osu. He played pretty strongly all the way up till the UW and UO games actually, and he didn’t look terrible in those two games either. I think the overall situation at fsu is just worse than it was at osu, even if they technically have the better roster. He went from a small market, non-CFP contending, dark horse pac-12 team to a nationally-recognized team that was expected to dominate its conference and make the playoffs with ease.
The problem is he has the talent, just not the mental traits thats supposed to come with it. He isn't confident, plays nervous, and makes bad decisions every time hes in the pocket. That's really a lot of talented players problems nowadays, "Composure". He also played at st john bosco in hs which helped out his recruitment a lot..He had 4-5 stars all around his team when he was at bosco and could just sit in the pocket comfortably and throw the ball
I’m sorry but he should’ve stayed at OSU, many WRs were in the portal and recruiting is very important. Having DJ as a QB would maybe have helped OSU get some WRs. But he was pretty good at OSU in my opinion
@@shawnjhuuhurddhe’s been given opportunities he doesn’t deserve. That’s what that means. He’s taking someone else opportunity because he’s just 6’5 250. So he gets benefit of the doubt.
@@egglordsasuke8532 Hey its the players fault they aren't student athletes anymore they are paid professionals. Kinda hard to believe someone can be as bad as him for 4 years and get a NIL deal.
@@egglordsasuke8532 Wrong. He did not say that. He just disagreed with the idea that we should feel bad for a highly paid underachieving former 5 star recruit. We know that he's still human and that money makes doesn't solve all of someone's problems.
@@rjthelion6239 I hate that his dreams of playing a game and making millions is ruined but it’s time for him to live like everyone else. He’s made plenty of money. But he is not good. Some times life sucks. Feeling sorry for him isn’t going to help.
@@apalachicola05 i’m not saying he’s doing good, ik he’s not. but it’s just a human response to feel bad for someone for constantly getting dogged over football, which at the end of the day is just a game. ik he won’t make it to the next level but ik no one would like to be put under as much scrutiny as he has the last couple weeks
@@rjthelion6239 everyone gets dogged when they play bad. I will jump at anyone who tries to say he’s a bad person. But if he goes out and plays super well the rest of the season he’ll get a lot praise and no one will will have a second thought about that. The past has shown he’s capable of more than he’s putting out right now. And if criticism isn’t deserved then I would feel bad, but it is deserved.
@@apalachicola05 i mean criticism is def deserved but a good portion of football fans are rabid savages when it comes to this stuff man. i have no problem w criticizing his play, just keep it within the sport and don’t build a hate for someone for playing a sport. ik you’re not doing that but in that sense i do feel bad for him
He was forgotten at Oregon State? That must be why he got $500k to transfer to FL. Poor guy? No. He has half a million dollars plus whatever he got prior to this year and if he made even a slight effort, he should be close to getting a college degree. This dude is starting adulthood well above 99% of all people. I'm not going to feel the slightest bit sorry for him.
Bro people like you are so damn weird it literally blows my mind that you’re real lol.. success is relative. This guy was predicted to be the next Trevor Lawrence and he’s since devolved into a meme.. if things keep going how they’re going his story will be one of failure and his life’s best yrs will be 18-20.. there’s space for sympathy here… people like you come off as bitter haters who’ve fallin short in life and can’t experience empathy for anyone in the world doing better than you.. it’s weird af and u should outgrow that mindset.
He was overhyped coming out of high school. He played for a power school with talent around him and got alot of wins. Scouts saw his arm strength and size and thought his a can't miss. Saban knew he was a project qb that's why he got Bryce. DJ only came back to the acc to get back at us for what happened but his is a limited qb that fits a certain style. He can't play in the spread offense
I kinda get the impression that he’s just ass… I don’t think I’ve ever watched him play and think.. he’s a good player… it’s always been the opposite actually… against good teams anyway he always has played bad
As a Clemson fan, I feel bad for him too. I actually think he should switch to baseball because he was a really good pitcher in high school, and was planning on playing both at Clemson. I don’t know if he’s athletic or physical enough for a tight end.
As a Clemson fan, nothing makes me happier than his panic turnovers costing another program playoff bids. Biggest bust in FBS history, bailed out by Covid years & transfer rules.
DJU went to FSU for three reasons: money, TV, and to stick it to Clemson. He blamed Clemson for his failures and saw the Noles as a way to say "i told you so". Go look at some of the things he and his Dad said about Clemson when he lost the starting job and transferred out. This is a guy who bought into his own hype. "Big Cinco" just ain't that dude.
He definitely did look defeated today on the sidelines the FSU left tackle was getting beat all game Morlock was dropping balls and the defense couldn’t stop the run FSU has more problems than the QB position
We have so many problems and it's a shame that so many of our fans are being lazy and just dog piling on DJ. DJ has not played great but everything around him is on fire right now.
He is the problem. He doesn't react to pressure that well and struggles to read defenses quickly which limits how effectively the lineman can block. Lmao, FSU's defense was less of a problem than DJ U.
Lmao Y'all are grasping at anything Morlock dropped 2 passes, and DJ has no accuracy at all down the field. Anything past 20 yards is a struggle for him.
@@Nairowshe may have been ba shut every big throw he threw was dropped when it mattered most he’s not great but his team and wrs didn’t do him any favors last night
@@NairowsOne man is not the primary reason a team is losing, you sound foolish, he doesn't play defense, who in the hell can the QB be responsible for stopping a ball carrier? 😏
@@barney6336 The oppressor wants us to forget how real Malcolm was. Think they can limit his legacy to "by any means necessary". Nope, he left us a ton of gems.
This is the most real take on this entire situation. He figured it out at Oregon State. The grass isn’t always greener. Probably should’ve stayed put and not gone to FSU. A tough lesson learned that will probably cost him a shot at the NFL but now he needs to learn from it and apply it to the rest of his life.
@@DiversityJackson Malcom was a communist, maybe you should move to Cuba and see how much you like it there and your "racial freedom". BTW this is coming from a Cuban
As a Clemson fan, I watched for 2 years when he'd play so inconsistently it was maddening. I saw him make incredible throws with pinpoint precision and perfect touch, then follow it up by throwing 4 yards over a receivers head or 2 yards short into the dirt.
He's simply just not a high level caliber QB...Was probably a guy who was better suited coming out of HS going to a lower tier school sitting behind an upperclassmen for about 2-3 years then using his last 2 years to transfer to a bigger school and raise his NFL Stock He's still as raw as he was in 2020 it's not even that he struggles against higher levels of competition...He looks like he just simply doesn't belong out there
This man has stolen money without a ski mask and a gun. He is terrible on deep ball accuracy and has mediocre mobility at best. Plus, he transfers when the going gets tough. That's some weak sauce.
He transferred from Oregon State because they’re no longer in a Power 5 conference. He wasn’t the worst Clemson QB by a mile. He’s on a bad team. No one on FSU’s offense is playing on Sunday. He actually had decent season last year. 3 to 1 TD/INT ratio. Threw for around 2600 on a run heavy offense. He had potential. Should have just stayed with OSU. That 5 Star ranking had him feeling like he needed to play for a Blueblood.
@@Crushkirklandyall had otherworldly 2021 and 2022 transfer classes. I’ll admit that. They saved Mike Norvell ass is what they did. He ain’t the guy at coach I promise. And DJU ain’t the guy at QB. Other than that Mike Norvell has proved nothing at HC. He let a bunch of NFL guys take him to the acc title game and he thought he was hot ish.
@@clemsonaddict24 maybe you’re right. Even last year I thought he failed to adjust, his loyalty to his DC and other coaches has backfired. Some of those guys should’ve been fired. Last year he made some boneheaded decisions, in game especially. But I shrugged it off as him being young. I’m beginning to think he might not be a good coach. I hope I’m proven wrong but man it’s been ugly this year so far.
@@Crushkirkland and trust me I don’t wanna trash on him. I want the ACC to be a feared conference again. We need good coaches. I had hope for him I really did but I was always skeptical because he literally brought in SUCH good players that I couldn’t tell if it was him or them.
He needs to take accountability for his piss-poor play. I don't feel sorry he's getting a nice lump sum to play at FSU. They held their end of the bargain up. He's out here failing us tremendously. 😭
He is acounten da money, Thats about it. I think most of the better QB'S knew FSU was not the place to be this year so FSU was forced to role the dice with him
@@whotfareyou8139 That wasn't the point of his comment. In the grand scheme of things, he's doing something very very few people ever have the chance to experience, and he's actually getting paid a sum to do it. That should be obvious. To be fair, you know.
@@whotfareyou8139 If he doesn't react well to the pressure, he should return the NIL and other endorsements he has gotten. But, he won't which is his pejorative. He has never been the best player on his team in college.
@@whotfareyou8139 I never have been the best player on my team but I have been playing football my whole life including semi pro football in Arizona for the past 10 years. No money, or fame, just the love of the game and ability to compete for championships. The other person that commented understood what I meant. DJ is at Florida State with his degree already completed, big man on campus with beatiful woman all around. He is getting paid to lift weights and play football. 5 stars or no stars we are blessed to be able to play this game we love. 1% of all Highschool players even make it to D1. So regardless of pressure or context dude is living a beatiful life and will have many opportunities to succeed in life. Seems like a good guy and has made many relationships in his journey. So I do not think he needs or wants your pity based on the pressure you think he is under
@@bcomp12 I’d say about 95% of athletes go to college for they’re sport. Most the athletes don’t give a fuh about academics, but the only reason they do it is because that’s the first thing that gonna get them anywhere behind the talent. But to sum up what I’m saying before all the free academics and the money this is his passion and love for the game being dragged around on the internet and people act like he can’t be human. So yea to people like you love for anything doesn’t make sense.
Man it sucks to see all the hate he gets. I played with DJ at Oregon state last year and he was a great teammate and person. Wish for nothing but the best for him
It's not hate at him for his non transfer off the field activity. It's criticism for his play and his willingness to jump ship so quickly. He was compensated millions of dollars. Yet, he has failed to show up.
@@Nairows Yeah that’s a shame and he’s not playing to the level that people thought he would, but u saying he’s not getting hate is absolutely ridiculous. I haven’t seen one piece of straight up “criticism” on Twitter. It’s all memes or shit talk.
@@TTgravesHate exists when you are on a big stage. It is whether or not you should allow it to put down. The answer is no. None of these haters matter. What's that old saying? Don't take criticism from people who you wouldn't take advice from. I believe Oprah said that.
@@Nairowsfsu is just a shit team overall. As someone who saw him play at osu, his play is somewhat surprising. Confidence and a shit team seem to be the biggest cause
I don’t know what he was expecting tbh, he keeps leaving programs not learning a playbook completely and not staying with a coaching staff. No wonder he hasn’t progressed
As an Oregon State fan I have little sympathy for him. The way he and every other good player bolted before our last bowl game and how the Beavs got absolutely hosed by notre dame still stings.
He was actually great for us last year as an Oregon State fan he made multiple throws that left me saying “yea this guy is an nfl qb” but at the same time he made a lot of plays that made me wonder why we even signed him out of the portal
he wasn't forgotten at oregon State. we osu fans were surprised when he announced he was leaving to go to fsu. he made that decision on his own, and the sad part is that osu fans couldn't understand why he left when he was in possibly the best system he could fit in.
His best game at Clemson was against Wake Forest in 2022. He was Superman. The man never played up to that point again and was ultimately benched in the ACC title game for good reason.
As a Clemson fan I noticed he has what I would call a “hitch” in his movements. Great arm but it’s like he hesitates to do everything, like his brain and body don’t click. This means he has flashes but is mostly a goofy looking hard to watch inconsistent qb
When there's someone like a Bo Nix who ends up improving by finding a new situation it looks like that should be the path every 5 star takes. But not every one will become an NFL guy, and when DJ has consistently not been the guy at every stop he's been, it's just sad to see desperate attempt after desparate attempt of him trying to find the perfect situation.
This guy is terrible. Clemson stuck with him for 2 mediocre seasons and the first game he gets benched he immediately quits and leaves for the tranfer portal. Absolutely no sympathy for this kid.
I feel bad for Jordan Travis who fractures his ankle. I don’t feel bad for DJ. If you can’t throw a spiral, that’s a problem. He is not showing his level of play. He either is not working hard enough, in a huge slump, or was not as talented as everyone think. I wouldn’t feel bad. This is a competitive sport.
Some QBs can just never get the offense into gear and DJU is one of them. He has all the talent but lack of consistency causes the offense to always look so lame with him at QB. No defense is afraid of playing against him and even his own team doesn’t believe in him, hence all the drops & giving up on routes early.
I wouldn’t say he was a total failure at Oregon State. I guess by hype standards he was, but he was a very solid QB and helped the Beavers more than hurt them.
Kind of like you said, he does seem like a nice dude, respects people, and is level headed. I can see why coaches have been wanting to work with him and trying to help him. However, I just think he's one of those athletes where in high school, you're the best of the best, the peak, and going to the next level against other athletes, you're not the best anymore. He hasn't been able to seemingly adjust his game to the next level in college football. Not able to go up against or play just as good with the other top quarterbacks who were able to adjust their games to college level. That's just the harsh reality in any sport. It's a hard pill to swallow. By all means he can try to keep on improving at FSU, but bruh, he doesn't have that much time left if he wants to keep play in the NFL. I sadly don't see that possible anymore. He's been given too many chances and sorry, but not sorry, there are other quarterbacks who are more hungry than him.
I feel bad for the fact that people will take there criticism too far but at the end of the day in this new age he is paid to play football and it just flat out looks like he's given up
@@otisbanananutspunkmeyermac jones had production even if he sucks in the NFL. DJ is complete garbage everywhere he goes. You could put him on Georgia and he would be trash
I'd say Jake Locker Scouts were calling him the next best thing and a sure top pick (said he would've been taken 1 over Bradford) yet he never even went to a bowl game
Born and raised an FSU fan- the way the fanbase has acted the past few months and disrespect towards DJ is really immature and such a terrible look for us. I feel bad for DJ as well. Nobody deserves to play for a team who disrespects them like that.
@@austincrochet2581oh hush we dogged on him at Clemson because when you ain’t got it. You ain’t got it. And nothing is wrong with letting them know. He sucks and he lied all offseason about showing who he really was. Well actually it wasn’t much of a lie. He was just trying to warn everyone how bad he was gonna play. Hope y’all FSU people enjoy what you asked for.
@@clemsonaddict24 Too bad garbo whinney can't upbring your pathetic football team anymore since 2020 😂😝🚮 Even though DJ sucks but yall suck too and forever more so from here on out lmao
Feel this is on him too, you keep jumping ships and not trusting the process or the system and then you get to ur senior year and you’ve stunted your growth and built no solid relationships with any school.
i’m sorry but i can’t agree with “it’s not his fault because he was supposed to be good, because he had 5 stars, etc.” hype is one thing. on field play is another. he has bad footwork, him mechanics kill most of his throws, he misses reads, and he just isn’t what everyone thought he was going to be. he seems like a nice guy, but in a world where he’s getting as much money as he is to play at a certain level, it’s understandable why people are frustrated. usually a fan of your takes, but can’t say i agree with this one
There’s a lot of good people in the world struggling or in a bad position who get no sympathy. Just because he hit the genetic lottery of a D1 athlete does not mean he can’t be criticized. He chose to to go to a high profile team which equals more pressure and criticism
If he was any good, he would be up to the challenging task. Kelly Bryant did a much more admirable job following Watson. Watson did an excellent job following Tahj Boyd, although there were two qbs in between them.
“He’s not in the right system.” “His offensive line sucks.” He has no one to blame but himself. Maybe he should have done his homework, and prioritized the right system and best personnel, instead of the biggest NIL paycheck?
We might have to give Dabo Swiney credit for managing to go 11-2 season with DJ. The new transfer portal rules are also to blame. He's on his 3rd school and still plays bad.
I’m a Clemson fan. I actually ran into a QB assistant coach a couple of years ago and asked him about the situation with DJU. This was after he entered the portal. The guy basically said that DJ would talk in the QB room about how he would find himself counting the seconds until the crowd booed him. Felt genuinely terrible for him and only wanted success for him. Hope he finds the position/sport best for him in the future.
These comments are obsessed with money. If you had thousands of people in person and online telling you that you are worthless and terrible 24/7 it will make you miserable.
Some of these kids get out of pocket and think they are something they aren't and get in over their head against competition that's just beyond their abilities. DJU has always been extremely inconsistent, not shocked he looks in over his head at FSU
Kid, don't feel bad for him. He has put himself in the spotlight and is a adult man. He shouldn't allow his feelings to get hurt by other people's opinions. Sticks and stones man.
Dj supposed to be playing in the nfl right now. He had one of the strongest arms a 17 ever has had. Sadly his only problem seems to be his in game iq. He is just a dumb qb. Can't throw receivers open. Can't dodge the rush. God have him everything except sadly the brains to play qb at a high level. He can hit the open receiver. But he was 240 playing qb in high school and had a clear advantage. Now in college with better athletes and smaller windows he's just getting exposed. He can probably still play baseball and should. Maybe with the right coach in the NFL he could be good. He just makes too many dumb throws..
when you’re in All-Star since Pop Warner football throughout high school football you just don’t have the same love for the game anymore because you’ve been famous for so long
Last I checked, DJU doesn't play defense, he wasn't the one who gave up 28 points against BCU. Ok I kept hearing "the OL is terrible," so maybe DJU isn't that bad in reality, after all Klubnik isn't looking so hot either.
Felt bad for Klubnik too, they got smoked. As a socal resident, I watch DJ win the State Title with St John Bosco and was really excited to see him play for Clemson as I followed Trevor Lawrence when he was there and it gave me a reason to keep tabs on them. DJ looks like my Halos pitchers, he gets rattled and makes some sketchy decisions. Angels should draft him if he doesn’t pan out in Football 😅 he’s fit right in.
DJ is garbage. Ppl find exercises for him everywhere he goes, the one common denominator is DJ. He can’t read a defense, misses open throws, folds under pressure, runs very slow, shows no passion. He’s overhyped garbage. Just because he’s big doesn’t make him a good QB
DJ should have chosen a school with a good OC or HC that fits his style of play like Kiffin, Sark etc, he probably wouldn't start but he could have learned a lot and improve his QB skills but it might be too late for him. He might be a senior. 🤔
".......honestly if he had gone to a school like Baylor, or Pitt or Iowa...he wouldn't have been able to put up big enough numbers to go to the NFL and he would have gone undrafted...." Dumb statement by a video poster who knows nothing about football. FYI - a college QB doesn't necessarily have to put up "big numbers" to get drafted in the NFL, AND they can come from ANY school - just ask Josh Allen. In order to get drafted in the NFL a QB needs to know how to make big plays, run an offense, and make things happen on the field. The perfect example of a QB who "made plays" but didn't really have big numbers is Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill was a great multi-position athlete who only played 2 seasons of QB in college, but had decent numbers and made things happen on the field. He went on to have an excellent NFL career and made a lot of money.
Hell you don't even need to put up ANY numbers, look at Matt Cassel: he threw 33 passes total in his college career and still got drafted because of his skill
Tannehill got drafted by his college coach(dolphins offensive coordinator). Not saying that he didn’t have decent success, just saying that that’s a bad example. The dolphins head coach also didn’t trust Tannehill enough to let him call his own plays.
Josh Allen did but up crazy offensive numbers, the questions with him were his accuracy and the fact that he played in the MAC. Also he is a significantly better athlete than DJ
Fascinating story and video. As a Beaver fan I watched him pretty closely last year. He wasn't horrible he was ok sometimes pretty good but, he didn't handle pressure real well and I don't just mean pass rushing pressure. In our Washington game we were 8 and 2 coming into the game and he missed two or three really crucial passes early in the first quarter and we just couldn't recover Against the ultimate national champion runner up. They were open looks that he just didn't throw good balls on. The game was on national TV HerbStreit and Fowler were calling the game and I just kind of shrugged my shoulders like I don't get it. So honestly, I think he's just not that great with pressure(pass rush or mental) at this point I do think staying at Oregon State would have been way better for him. More time in a system that's way more friendly to him. It's very difficult to be a quarterback you need a lot of things in your favor but at this point he's not quite a good enough thrower mentally. I think he could be a serviceable quarterback in time but he needs a system that really fits him In an atmosphere with less pressure. Florida State was not the answer that's for sure.
Florida state fan here, I agree with a lot in this video. The role he was supposed to play this year was a support to the run game. Run game is non existent, it’s all on him now and he does not have the legs to get out of tough situations. Couple that with some inaccuracy, dropped passes and a defense that can not get off the field.. not pretty
I don't feel bad for him. He's been paid millions from NIL deals AND he's going to graduate from Florida State university! Football isn't forever. He's setting himself up to have a great life!
It really is a shame to see these kinds of guys just flounder. I really felt for Ty Thompson as well; highest rated QB recruit in Oregon's history and never got a start. He just couldn't get things clicking and got beat out for years before finally transferring to Tulane only to end up sitting the bench there too. At least DJ's brother is living up to the hype here, Matayo is a beast.
I get why people might not feel bad for him with the money he's making with NIL, but at the same time, this is a guy who's been trying for years to make this dream work, constantly being under the spotlight and media pressure. He gets criticized and mocked relentlessly when he's struggled, and I'm not even saying that's not deserved, but idc how much money you have, that still likely takes a toll on the dude's mind, as it would for almost anyone in his spot. The criticism is fair for sure, but I feel like there can also be room to feel at least a bit of sympathy for the human behind the helmet lol.
DJ U fumbled transferring. He should've either stayed at OR ST or go to a high G5 school and have a record season. He defeated himself and it's tough watching this unfold before our eyes.
Dj is Scared of the NFL, he's not going to make it in the big boys game. He will be drafted in 2nd or 3rd round pick. Good luck with that C u nxt yr bro playing for Cleveland Browns!
If you would’ve watched that 2020 Clemson @ Notre Dame you would’ve thought he was gonna be a beast. One of the better regular season games of recent memory.
Spencer Rattler got in his way because of his attitude, Caleb Williams pretty much pushed him out of Oklahoma, and finished at Carolina. That being said, I liked watching Spencer and with an attitude change and development he can definitely snag the starting job from Carr soon at the Saints. His athleticism, strong arm, Mahommes like style is intriguing. DJ is on his third team already and has started at all of them. He hasn’t made them better and anytime they’ve won it’s almost in spite of him. He’s 2nd string at worst but a game manager at best. I just haven’t seen enough for this kid to be a starting college QB.
Can you do a story on QB Diego Pavia NMSU/Vanderbilt. He gives me Johnny Football Manziel vibes, but without the off field drama. He just wins. Thank you!
FL State basically shows they have ZERO HEART after that snub out of the playoff last year. They had so many opt out, and so many just have ZERO interest or intention anymore. Basically... that one hit to their expectations KILLED that team... This shows a MASSIVE coaching problem. The KIDS should be taught better, led better, and able to bounce back better.
@ahhhttoooddgg9711 At this rate he will be lucky to get a call from a UFL team. He had great potential but now what does the future hold for him? Also, Dillon Gabriel went from UCF to OU and now at Oregon and the alleged experts are now saying he will be top QB prospect in 25. My guess Gabriel is will have a different outcome than DJ. Also, look at Max Johnson (son of Brad) and he got injured really bad in his frist start at UNC. Johnson went from LSU to A&M and now UNC. 3 QB's who have transfered three times and two look like they are done.
I’m a Beavs fan. He should’ve stayed here. Even with the team being worse, he would’ve been a lifetime hero in Corvallis for staying when everyone left. His transfer to FSU was a loss for everyone involved.
I'm sure his is nice guy but he just is not THAT guy. Besides, I am sure he has made more money than most folks watching this video. He best bet is to stack a million and get his degree.
I feel bad for DJU. Oregon State was left behind after the PAC-12 dissolution forcing him to find a third home. On top of that, Kyle and other receivers drop his passes that could have led to touchdowns and, both the O-line and D-lines are horrible. DJU is the dark side of realignment. For every Cam Ward, who is also on his third school (Incarnate Word - Washington State - Miami), there is a DJU.
I too feel bad for him. Everyone clowning on him. But I just feel bad for the kid. He’s an athletic kid. Something has happened and he can’t seem to shake it.
Sometimes I feel like we forget these players are human beings and pretty young in the scheme of life (heck he is a year younger than I am). I feel bad for DJ and want to see him succeed, why do you think its just not worked out for him?
Good in practice tp convince coaches hes the guy...gametime pressure he just aint it right now
Your pity won't make him a better qb. Don't forget NIL either. I'm sure he's making buck!! Be the only place he will, tho.
You have done plenty of videos on QBs that just don’t pan out for one reason or another. I guess this is in that category. But you’re right, this one seems a little more weird than some of the others.
Because Dj is highly overrated and nowhere near as good as he tries to claim to be. Feel bad for the guy if you won't it doesn't change the fact he sucks as a quarterback. Man deserves 0 sympathy for getting stats at Oregon State playing in the weakest power conference at the time and thinking he's him. He wasn't. 😂
Because god is giving him a test and the best has yet to be seen🙏
By far the most overrated QB of the transfer portal era.
Would agree, D'Eriq King is up there too
@@troylee4196 tbf injury’s messed him up
There is no doubt about it. He was paid millions and essentially stole it without a ski mask and a gun. Clemson fans kept making excuses for him until they realized what sensible college football fans knew : he can't make big time throws. He just has a great frame and subpar mobility. He should retire or switch positions. But, his playing career is over because he didn't take the game seriously and wanted to bail the moment things got too tough.
I’m a Clemson fan so I remember when he had 28 percent against South Carolina
@@cvandy2252 a true fail at every stop.
And notre dame really gave up 400 yards to this mf 😭😭
Tells you how bad they were
He was a man amongst boys in high school and never got better
good way to put it, as a notre dame fan my dad kept saying the same about Tyler buchner, how he played no competition in high school, sure enough buchner ended up being bad
@@Whynotmini that’s usually the silver lining, if they never see competition that wakes them up in high school, they get the rude awakening in college. The thing with dju is he got that rude awakening 3 times and it still hasn’t moved the needle unfortunately
Exactly
He was 240 in hs and had a advantage over almost everybody..
@@Whynotmini lol you guys have no clue he played the best high school players in the nation.
@@Jay-fq8uz he played for St. John Bosco, aka he had plenty of help
I’m an Oregon State fan and I enjoyed having him play for the team. However, one thing I always noticed while he played is his inconsistency. He has moments where he makes amazing plays, but he also misses wide open throws. I’m unfortunately not surprised that it hasn’t changed at FSU
Also as an osu fan, it is pretty hard to watch his play at fsu but, sad to say, a lot of the same mistakes he’s making now are the same ones he made all last year. It was fine at osu with a great running game, great o-line, and generally poor pac-12 defenses, but life after that was always gonna be much worse. I’ll always root for a beav but part of me thinks he should’ve just stuck it out in corvo where he could’ve been “the guy” while simultaneously not have to do too much
Tell me if I’m wrong but I feel like he’s taken a couple steps back from his osu days, although I believe yall had good skill position players and like you said, overall weaker defenses.
@@havocch6508 Yeah, I think some regression was due just because of the new system and stuff. However, I guess to that point, he definitely did not have these early struggles when he first started at osu. He played pretty strongly all the way up till the UW and UO games actually, and he didn’t look terrible in those two games either. I think the overall situation at fsu is just worse than it was at osu, even if they technically have the better roster. He went from a small market, non-CFP contending, dark horse pac-12 team to a nationally-recognized team that was expected to dominate its conference and make the playoffs with ease.
The problem is he has the talent, just not the mental traits thats supposed to come with it. He isn't confident, plays nervous, and makes bad decisions every time hes in the pocket. That's really a lot of talented players problems nowadays, "Composure". He also played at st john bosco in hs which helped out his recruitment a lot..He had 4-5 stars all around his team when he was at bosco and could just sit in the pocket comfortably and throw the ball
I’m sorry but he should’ve stayed at OSU, many WRs were in the portal and recruiting is very important. Having DJ as a QB would maybe have helped OSU get some WRs. But he was pretty good at OSU in my opinion
I find it hard to feel sympathy for a guy who has gotten millions from NIL. The man is getting paid regardless of how bad he plays.
There’s more to life than just money but i understand how it’d be hard i guess
Exactly, it's like a person making money somehow makes them not human to these people.
@@shawnjhuuhurddhe’s been given opportunities he doesn’t deserve. That’s what that means. He’s taking someone else opportunity because he’s just 6’5 250. So he gets benefit of the doubt.
@@egglordsasuke8532
Hey its the players fault they aren't student athletes anymore they are paid professionals. Kinda hard to believe someone can be as bad as him for 4 years and get a NIL deal.
@@egglordsasuke8532 Wrong. He did not say that. He just disagreed with the idea that we should feel bad for a highly paid underachieving former 5 star recruit. We know that he's still human and that money makes doesn't solve all of someone's problems.
Dude he sucks. He’s gotten his money. No need to feel sorry for a bust.
so just bc he’s made money means he’s not human too?
@@rjthelion6239 I hate that his dreams of playing a game and making millions is ruined but it’s time for him to live like everyone else. He’s made plenty of money. But he is not good. Some times life sucks. Feeling sorry for him isn’t going to help.
@@apalachicola05 i’m not saying he’s doing good, ik he’s not. but it’s just a human response to feel bad for someone for constantly getting dogged over football, which at the end of the day is just a game. ik he won’t make it to the next level but ik no one would like to be put under as much scrutiny as he has the last couple weeks
@@rjthelion6239 everyone gets dogged when they play bad. I will jump at anyone who tries to say he’s a bad person. But if he goes out and plays super well the rest of the season he’ll get a lot praise and no one will will have a second thought about that. The past has shown he’s capable of more than he’s putting out right now. And if criticism isn’t deserved then I would feel bad, but it is deserved.
@@apalachicola05 i mean criticism is def deserved but a good portion of football fans are rabid savages when it comes to this stuff man. i have no problem w criticizing his play, just keep it within the sport and don’t build a hate for someone for playing a sport. ik you’re not doing that but in that sense i do feel bad for him
He was forgotten at Oregon State? That must be why he got $500k to transfer to FL. Poor guy? No. He has half a million dollars plus whatever he got prior to this year and if he made even a slight effort, he should be close to getting a college degree. This dude is starting adulthood well above 99% of all people. I'm not going to feel the slightest bit sorry for him.
Seriously, these people are so cringe for how bad they feel for him. He’s gunna be alright
THANK YOU his ass looking like Zach Wilson
Bro people like you are so damn weird it literally blows my mind that you’re real lol.. success is relative. This guy was predicted to be the next Trevor Lawrence and he’s since devolved into a meme.. if things keep going how they’re going his story will be one of failure and his life’s best yrs will be 18-20.. there’s space for sympathy here… people like you come off as bitter haters who’ve fallin short in life and can’t experience empathy for anyone in the world doing better than you.. it’s weird af and u should outgrow that mindset.
He should've had a college degree by now. He's not going to make in the NFL.
I think he would still be at Oregon St if the coach had not left.
He was overhyped coming out of high school. He played for a power school with talent around him and got alot of wins. Scouts saw his arm strength and size and thought his a can't miss. Saban knew he was a project qb that's why he got Bryce. DJ only came back to the acc to get back at us for what happened but his is a limited qb that fits a certain style. He can't play in the spread offense
DJ picked Clemson like 5 months before Bryce Young committed.
@drumusic5665 it don't matter Saban could have gotten him if he wanted he knows who's a good fit for him and who isn't
he should of stayed away from the Power 4 and just finish his career at Oregon State.
We need to get back to high school sports where the local teams get recognized and not the IMGs of each state
Him transferring so often has hindered his development.
True
Instant gratification has compromised young minds.
Facts
I kinda get the impression that he’s just ass… I don’t think I’ve ever watched him play and think.. he’s a good player… it’s always been the opposite actually… against good teams anyway he always has played bad
@@thomasuga5708 he’s a good QB, but he was thrust in to an impossible position at Clemson. I think he was better suited for a smaller school
As a Clemson fan, I feel bad for him too. I actually think he should switch to baseball because he was a really good pitcher in high school, and was planning on playing both at Clemson.
I don’t know if he’s athletic or physical enough for a tight end.
As a Clemson fan, nothing makes me happier than his panic turnovers costing another program playoff bids.
Biggest bust in FBS history, bailed out by Covid years & transfer rules.

@@voodoo2956I don’t think that’s a flex… it’s kinda weird actually hating this much on another person who don’t know you? Sad.
I agree, he could have had a career in baseball.
@@voodoo2956you saying that like Cade kleubic aint a bust 😂
DJU went to FSU for three reasons: money, TV, and to stick it to Clemson. He blamed Clemson for his failures and saw the Noles as a way to say "i told you so". Go look at some of the things he and his Dad said about Clemson when he lost the starting job and transferred out. This is a guy who bought into his own hype. "Big Cinco" just ain't that dude.
He definitely did look defeated today on the sidelines the FSU left tackle was getting beat all game Morlock was dropping balls and the defense couldn’t stop the run FSU has more problems than the QB position
We have so many problems and it's a shame that so many of our fans are being lazy and just dog piling on DJ. DJ has not played great but everything around him is on fire right now.
He is the problem. He doesn't react to pressure that well and struggles to read defenses quickly which limits how effectively the lineman can block. Lmao, FSU's defense was less of a problem than DJ U.
Lmao
Y'all are grasping at anything
Morlock dropped 2 passes, and DJ has no accuracy at all down the field. Anything past 20 yards is a struggle for him.

This is the most real take on this entire situation. He figured it out at Oregon State. The grass isn’t always greener. Probably should’ve stayed put and not gone to FSU. A tough lesson learned that will probably cost him a shot at the NFL but now he needs to learn from it and apply it to the rest of his life.
@@DiversityJackson Malcom was a communist, maybe you should move to Cuba and see how much you like it there and your "racial freedom". BTW this is coming from a Cuban
As a Clemson fan, I watched for 2 years when he'd play so inconsistently it was maddening. I saw him make incredible throws with pinpoint precision and perfect touch, then follow it up by throwing 4 yards over a receivers head or 2 yards short into the dirt.
He's simply just not a high level caliber QB...Was probably a guy who was better suited coming out of HS going to a lower tier school sitting behind an upperclassmen for about 2-3 years then using his last 2 years to transfer to a bigger school and raise his NFL Stock
He's still as raw as he was in 2020 it's not even that he struggles against higher levels of competition...He looks like he just simply doesn't belong out there
This man has stolen money without a ski mask and a gun. He is terrible on deep ball accuracy and has mediocre mobility at best. Plus, he transfers when the going gets tough. That's some weak sauce.
He transferred from Oregon State because they’re no longer in a Power 5 conference. He wasn’t the worst Clemson QB by a mile. He’s on a bad team. No one on FSU’s offense is playing on Sunday. He actually had decent season last year. 3 to 1 TD/INT ratio. Threw for around 2600 on a run heavy offense. He had potential. Should have just stayed with OSU. That 5 Star ranking had him feeling like he needed to play for a Blueblood.
Truth is... DJ Uiagalelei just isn't that good. I saw his game tonight, and he was just hard to watch.
easy to play like that when you bet the BC moneyline at +588 there's a lot of money to make who cares about winning.
Never seen a QB miss 3 wide open td passes on one drive. Horrible.
Going to FSU was a massive mistake. They lost a ton of talent to the NFL and didnt get much if any big name transfers.
FSU had a top 5 transfer portal class. In a year where there wasn’t much talent in the portal.
@@Crushkirklandyall had otherworldly 2021 and 2022 transfer classes. I’ll admit that. They saved Mike Norvell ass is what they did. He ain’t the guy at coach I promise. And DJU ain’t the guy at QB. Other than that Mike Norvell has proved nothing at HC. He let a bunch of NFL guys take him to the acc title game and he thought he was hot ish.
@@clemsonaddict24 maybe you’re right. Even last year I thought he failed to adjust, his loyalty to his DC and other coaches has backfired. Some of those guys should’ve been fired. Last year he made some boneheaded decisions, in game especially. But I shrugged it off as him being young. I’m beginning to think he might not be a good coach. I hope I’m proven wrong but man it’s been ugly this year so far.
@@Crushkirkland and trust me I don’t wanna trash on him. I want the ACC to be a feared conference again. We need good coaches. I had hope for him I really did but I was always skeptical because he literally brought in SUCH good players that I couldn’t tell if it was him or them.
@@Crushkirklandlmao Miami added a lot of good players in the transfer portal. Already paying off. None of fsu additions have done jack.
He needs to take accountability for his piss-poor play. I don't feel sorry he's getting a nice lump sum to play at FSU. They held their end of the bargain up. He's out here failing us tremendously. 😭
He is acounten da money, Thats about it. I think most of the better QB'S knew FSU was not the place to be this year so FSU was forced to role the dice with him
Things are not going his way, but he living the dream. Nothing to feel bad about him for.
To be fair you’ve never been the best player on your team, so of course you wouldn’t understand the pressure he has🤷🏿
@@whotfareyou8139 That wasn't the point of his comment. In the grand scheme of things, he's doing something very very few people ever have the chance to experience, and he's actually getting paid a sum to do it. That should be obvious. To be fair, you know.
@@whotfareyou8139 If he doesn't react well to the pressure, he should return the NIL and other endorsements he has gotten. But, he won't which is his pejorative. He has never been the best player on his team in college.

DJ is at Florida State with his degree already completed, big man on campus with beatiful woman all around. He is getting paid to lift weights and play football. 5 stars or no stars we are blessed to be able to play this game we love. 1% of all Highschool players even make it to D1. So regardless of pressure or context dude is living a beatiful life and will have many opportunities to succeed in life. Seems like a good guy and has made many relationships in his journey.

@@bcomp12 I’d say about 95% of athletes go to college for they’re sport. Most the athletes don’t give a fuh about academics, but the only reason they do it is because that’s the first thing that gonna get them anywhere behind the talent. But to sum up what I’m saying before all the free academics and the money this is his passion and love for the game being dragged around on the internet and people act like he can’t be human. So yea to people like you love for anything doesn’t make sense.
Man it sucks to see all the hate he gets. I played with DJ at Oregon state last year and he was a great teammate and person. Wish for nothing but the best for him
It's not hate at him for his non transfer off the field activity. It's criticism for his play and his willingness to jump ship so quickly. He was compensated millions of dollars. Yet, he has failed to show up.
@@Nairows Yeah that’s a shame and he’s not playing to the level that people thought he would, but u saying he’s not getting hate is absolutely ridiculous. I haven’t seen one piece of straight up “criticism” on Twitter. It’s all memes or shit talk.

@@Nairows when there’s hundreds of thousands of people hating I bet it’s pretty easy for it to get you down. Either way hope he’s all good
@@Nairowsfsu is just a shit team overall. As someone who saw him play at osu, his play is somewhat surprising. Confidence and a shit team seem to be the biggest cause
I don’t know what he was expecting tbh, he keeps leaving programs not learning a playbook completely and not staying with a coaching staff. No wonder he hasn’t progressed
Why would u feel sorry for a dude in his 5th season who’s shown little to no improvement and is getting paid over 500k this season from NIL
Exactly, milking the system and these soft idiots feel "sorry" for them
As an Oregon State fan I have little sympathy for him. The way he and every other good player bolted before our last bowl game and how the Beavs got absolutely hosed by notre dame still stings.
He was actually great for us last year as an Oregon State fan he made multiple throws that left me saying “yea this guy is an nfl qb” but at the same time he made a lot of plays that made me wonder why we even signed him out of the portal
he wasn't forgotten at oregon State. we osu fans were surprised when he announced he was leaving to go to fsu. he made that decision on his own, and the sad part is that osu fans couldn't understand why he left when he was in possibly the best system he could fit in.
His best game at Clemson was against Wake Forest in 2022. He was Superman. The man never played up to that point again and was ultimately benched in the ACC title game for good reason.
As a Clemson fan I noticed he has what I would call a “hitch” in his movements. Great arm but it’s like he hesitates to do everything, like his brain and body don’t click. This means he has flashes but is mostly a goofy looking hard to watch inconsistent qb
When there's someone like a Bo Nix who ends up improving by finding a new situation it looks like that should be the path every 5 star takes. But not every one will become an NFL guy, and when DJ has consistently not been the guy at every stop he's been, it's just sad to see desperate attempt after desparate attempt of him trying to find the perfect situation.
It’s hard to believe that Bryce Young is in the second year of the NFL while DJ is still playing college.
He is terrible. Vs Georgia tech he had 5 pass for 10+yards. This game he’s throwing 50%. Overthrowing open passes
This guy is terrible. Clemson stuck with him for 2 mediocre seasons and the first game he gets benched he immediately quits and leaves for the tranfer portal. Absolutely no sympathy for this kid.
I feel bad for Jordan Travis who fractures his ankle. I don’t feel bad for DJ. If you can’t throw a spiral, that’s a problem. He is not showing his level of play. He either is not working hard enough, in a huge slump, or was not as talented as everyone think. I wouldn’t feel bad. This is a competitive sport.
Some QBs can just never get the offense into gear and DJU is one of them. He has all the talent but lack of consistency causes the offense to always look so lame with him at QB. No defense is afraid of playing against him and even his own team doesn’t believe in him, hence all the drops & giving up on routes early.
He wont play in the NFL. 3 teams, 3 total failures at P4. Maybe he should go to Rice Bowl.
I think this is his last year of eligibility
He was good at Oregon state
I wouldn’t say he was a total failure at Oregon State. I guess by hype standards he was, but he was a very solid QB and helped the Beavers more than hurt them.
Or maybe just go into coaching
Could go UFL
Kind of like you said, he does seem like a nice dude, respects people, and is level headed. I can see why coaches have been wanting to work with him and trying to help him. However, I just think he's one of those athletes where in high school, you're the best of the best, the peak, and going to the next level against other athletes, you're not the best anymore. He hasn't been able to seemingly adjust his game to the next level in college football. Not able to go up against or play just as good with the other top quarterbacks who were able to adjust their games to college level. That's just the harsh reality in any sport. It's a hard pill to swallow. By all means he can try to keep on improving at FSU, but bruh, he doesn't have that much time left if he wants to keep play in the NFL. I sadly don't see that possible anymore. He's been given too many chances and sorry, but not sorry, there are other quarterbacks who are more hungry than him.
I feel bad for the fact that people will take there criticism too far but at the end of the day in this new age he is paid to play football and it just flat out looks like he's given up
The problem might be he has jumped around to different teams every year
DJ is the most over rated college QB of all time.
Mac Jones is
@@otisbanananutspunkmeyermac jones had production even if he sucks in the NFL. DJ is complete garbage everywhere he goes. You could put him on Georgia and he would be trash

I'd say Jake Locker
Scouts were calling him the next best thing and a sure top pick (said he would've been taken 1 over Bradford) yet he never even went to a bowl game
Born and raised an FSU fan- the way the fanbase has acted the past few months and disrespect towards DJ is really immature and such a terrible look for us. I feel bad for DJ as well. Nobody deserves to play for a team who disrespects them like that.

Too bad garbo whinney can't upbring your pathetic football team anymore since 2020 😂😝🚮 Even though DJ sucks but yall suck too and forever more so from here on out lmao
Respect. MattBeGreat is dogging him really bad as well. Calling him out of his name repeatedly. I doubt he’d say those things to DJU’s face.
Feel this is on him too, you keep jumping ships and not trusting the process or the system and then you get to ur senior year and you’ve stunted your growth and built no solid relationships with any school.
Yeah man Cade has grown so much as a player at Clemson lol
i’m sorry but i can’t agree with “it’s not his fault because he was supposed to be good, because he had 5 stars, etc.” hype is one thing. on field play is another. he has bad footwork, him mechanics kill most of his throws, he misses reads, and he just isn’t what everyone thought he was going to be. he seems like a nice guy, but in a world where he’s getting as much money as he is to play at a certain level, it’s understandable why people are frustrated. usually a fan of your takes, but can’t say i agree with this one
There’s a lot of good people in the world struggling or in a bad position who get no sympathy. Just because he hit the genetic lottery of a D1 athlete does not mean he can’t be criticized. He chose to to go to a high profile team which equals more pressure and criticism
DJ has switched too much..besides coming behind a legend like Trevor Lawrence is a task in itself 😢
Lawerence don’t look like an nfl legend tho
If he was any good, he would be up to the challenging task. Kelly Bryant did a much more admirable job following Watson. Watson did an excellent job following Tahj Boyd, although there were two qbs in between them.
FSU got beat in the trenches last night.
right. it was easy to see.
An DJ missed wide open throws!!! Missed TD s passes an that picked cost a TD!!! FSU sucks an DJ sucks - that easy
This video brought to me tears 😭 it’s sounds incredibly sad
“He’s not in the right system.”
“His offensive line sucks.”
He has no one to blame but himself.
Maybe he should have done his homework, and prioritized the right system and best personnel, instead of the biggest NIL paycheck?
We might have to give Dabo Swiney credit for managing to go 11-2 season with DJ. The new transfer portal rules are also to blame. He's on his 3rd school and still plays bad.
I’m a Clemson fan. I actually ran into a QB assistant coach a couple of years ago and asked him about the situation with DJU. This was after he entered the portal. The guy basically said that DJ would talk in the QB room about how he would find himself counting the seconds until the crowd booed him. Felt genuinely terrible for him and only wanted success for him. Hope he finds the position/sport best for him in the future.
These comments are obsessed with money. If you had thousands of people in person and online telling you that you are worthless and terrible 24/7 it will make you miserable.
He was never any good. During his time at Oregon State, he was only spoon fed easy pass plays the entire time
Why are we feeling bad for athletes that aren’t good and are being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in college.
Some of these kids get out of pocket and think they are something they aren't and get in over their head against competition that's just beyond their abilities. DJU has always been extremely inconsistent, not shocked he looks in over his head at FSU
Yeah I don't. He wasn't kicked out of Oregon state.
Yeah that bum should have prevented the conference from completely disintegrated
Kid, don't feel bad for him. He has put himself in the spotlight and is a adult man. He shouldn't allow his feelings to get hurt by other people's opinions. Sticks and stones man.
If you see this you should cover Noah Fafita and Tetairoa McMillan
Dj supposed to be playing in the nfl right now. He had one of the strongest arms a 17 ever has had. Sadly his only problem seems to be his in game iq. He is just a dumb qb. Can't throw receivers open. Can't dodge the rush. God have him everything except sadly the brains to play qb at a high level. He can hit the open receiver. But he was 240 playing qb in high school and had a clear advantage. Now in college with better athletes and smaller windows he's just getting exposed. He can probably still play baseball and should. Maybe with the right coach in the NFL he could be good. He just makes too many dumb throws..
I don't feel sorry people who were given every opportunity to succeed and get generously paid for it
when you’re in All-Star since Pop Warner football throughout high school football you just don’t have the same love for the game anymore because you’ve been famous for so long
Last I checked, DJU doesn't play defense, he wasn't the one who gave up 28 points against BCU. Ok I kept hearing "the OL is terrible," so maybe DJU isn't that bad in reality, after all Klubnik isn't looking so hot either.
Felt bad for Klubnik too, they got smoked. As a socal resident, I watch DJ win the State Title with St John Bosco and was really excited to see him play for Clemson as I followed Trevor Lawrence when he was there and it gave me a reason to keep tabs on them. DJ looks like my Halos pitchers, he gets rattled and makes some sketchy decisions. Angels should draft him if he doesn’t pan out in Football 😅 he’s fit right in.
Y'all are pathetic blaming the defense. They can only get so many stops for their trash QB. He can't throw for nothing. Inaccurate AF.
DJ is garbage. Ppl find exercises for him everywhere he goes, the one common denominator is DJ. He can’t read a defense, misses open throws, folds under pressure, runs very slow, shows no passion. He’s overhyped garbage. Just because he’s big doesn’t make him a good QB
Klubnix has looked much better than dj coming from a Clemson fan
How could he be that overhyped? He seems like he is overhyped at FSU. Hopefully he has a good major because he is not an NFL caliber quarterback.
Triple H loves Polynesians. DJ should juice up and go to the WWE.
Feel sorry? The dude's made more money in college than many of us will in a career. He's milked NIL better than most.
He blamed Clemson, had a decent yr at Oregon St. And now, big time ball again failed. He just isnt any good
It’s not his fault. These teams shouldn’t be putting him in this position against the highest levels of competition. Dude just isn’t that great.
DJ U it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll brother..
DJ should have chosen a school with a good OC or HC that fits his style of play like Kiffin, Sark etc, he probably wouldn't start but he could have learned a lot and improve his QB skills but it might be too late for him. He might be a senior. 🤔
As a FSU fan I feel that it is his fault he is a terrible fit for our offense.
".......honestly if he had gone to a school like Baylor, or Pitt or Iowa...he wouldn't have been able to put up big enough numbers to go to the NFL and he would have gone undrafted...."
Dumb statement by a video poster who knows nothing about football.
FYI - a college QB doesn't necessarily have to put up "big numbers" to get drafted in the NFL, AND they can come from ANY school - just ask Josh Allen. In order to get drafted in the NFL a QB needs to know how to make big plays, run an offense, and make things happen on the field. The perfect example of a QB who "made plays" but didn't really have big numbers is Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill was a great multi-position athlete who only played 2 seasons of QB in college, but had decent numbers and made things happen on the field. He went on to have an excellent NFL career and made a lot of money.
Yeah that comment wasn’t well thought out.
Perfect example choice.
Hell you don't even need to put up ANY numbers, look at Matt Cassel: he threw 33 passes total in his college career and still got drafted because of his skill
Tannehill got drafted by his college coach(dolphins offensive coordinator). Not saying that he didn’t have decent success, just saying that that’s a bad example. The dolphins head coach also didn’t trust Tannehill enough to let him call his own plays.
Josh Allen did but up crazy offensive numbers, the questions with him were his accuracy and the fact that he played in the MAC. Also he is a significantly better athlete than DJ
yeh he has been the golden boy who tried hard but never quite lived up to expectations.
He has made more money shuckin at college football then most make in a lifetime
Fascinating story and video. As a Beaver fan I watched him pretty closely last year. He wasn't horrible he was ok sometimes pretty good but, he didn't handle pressure real well and I don't just mean pass rushing pressure. In our Washington game we were 8 and 2 coming into the game and he missed two or three really crucial passes early in the first quarter and we just couldn't recover Against the ultimate national champion runner up. They were open looks that he just didn't throw good balls on. The game was on national TV HerbStreit and Fowler were calling the game and I just kind of shrugged my shoulders like I don't get it. So honestly, I think he's just not that great with pressure(pass rush or mental) at this point I do think staying at Oregon State would have been way better for him. More time in a system that's way more friendly to him. It's very difficult to be a quarterback you need a lot of things in your favor but at this point he's not quite a good enough thrower mentally. I think he could be a serviceable quarterback in time but he needs a system that really fits him In an atmosphere with less pressure. Florida State was not the answer that's for sure.
Florida state fan here, I agree with a lot in this video. The role he was supposed to play this year was a support to the run game. Run game is non existent, it’s all on him now and he does not have the legs to get out of tough situations. Couple that with some inaccuracy, dropped passes and a defense that can not get off the field.. not pretty
WHY? He's the one who keeps changing teams.
I don't feel bad for him. He's been paid millions from NIL deals AND he's going to graduate from Florida State university! Football isn't forever. He's setting himself up to have a great life!
Humans dont have a number on their chest
Return that 400K in NIL money back.
Dju cant throw, cant run, he just looks good in the uniform 😂
It really is a shame to see these kinds of guys just flounder. I really felt for Ty Thompson as well; highest rated QB recruit in Oregon's history and never got a start. He just couldn't get things clicking and got beat out for years before finally transferring to Tulane only to end up sitting the bench there too. At least DJ's brother is living up to the hype here, Matayo is a beast.
I get why people might not feel bad for him with the money he's making with NIL, but at the same time, this is a guy who's been trying for years to make this dream work, constantly being under the spotlight and media pressure. He gets criticized and mocked relentlessly when he's struggled, and I'm not even saying that's not deserved, but idc how much money you have, that still likely takes a toll on the dude's mind, as it would for almost anyone in his spot. The criticism is fair for sure, but I feel like there can also be room to feel at least a bit of sympathy for the human behind the helmet lol.
DJ U fumbled transferring. He should've either stayed at OR ST or go to a high G5 school and have a record season. He defeated himself and it's tough watching this unfold before our eyes.
Dj is Scared of the NFL, he's not going to make it in the big boys game. He will be drafted in 2nd or 3rd round pick. Good luck with that C u nxt yr bro playing for Cleveland Browns!
Time to go back to baseball
If you would’ve watched that 2020 Clemson @ Notre Dame you would’ve thought he was gonna be a beast. One of the better regular season games of recent memory.
Feels like there are guys like this every single year. As a WVU fan, I remember watching J.T. Daniels. Kedon Slovis is another name I think of too.
Spencer Rattler got in his way because of his attitude, Caleb Williams pretty much pushed him out of Oklahoma, and finished at Carolina. That being said, I liked watching Spencer and with an attitude change and development he can definitely snag the starting job from Carr soon at the Saints. His athleticism, strong arm, Mahommes like style is intriguing. DJ is on his third team already and has started at all of them. He hasn’t made them better and anytime they’ve won it’s almost in spite of him. He’s 2nd string at worst but a game manager at best. I just haven’t seen enough for this kid to be a starting college QB.
Can you do a story on QB Diego Pavia NMSU/Vanderbilt. He gives me Johnny Football Manziel vibes, but without the off field drama. He just wins. Thank you!
FL State basically shows they have ZERO HEART after that snub out of the playoff last year.
They had so many opt out, and so many just have ZERO interest or intention anymore.
Basically... that one hit to their expectations KILLED that team... This shows a MASSIVE coaching problem. The KIDS should be taught better, led better, and able to bounce back better.
Why did he leave Oregon State?
The coaching staff left and a lot of other players. Also Oregon State didn’t have much of a plan when the pac 12 was collapsing
@ahhhttoooddgg9711 At this rate he will be lucky to get a call from a UFL team. He had great potential but now what does the future hold for him? Also, Dillon Gabriel went from UCF to OU and now at Oregon and the alleged experts are now saying he will be top QB prospect in 25. My guess Gabriel is will have a different outcome than DJ. Also, look at Max Johnson (son of Brad) and he got injured really bad in his frist start at UNC. Johnson went from LSU to A&M and now UNC. 3 QB's who have transfered three times and two look like they are done.
Difficult to feel bad for transfers in the Wild West if the portal/NIL era. Regulation needs to come very soon
FSU faced a Boston College team that has a better coach in O'Brien who built up their OL and DL. Can't win being dominated in the trenches.
Dj is overrated. dj made the classic blunder of “it’s better to be thought of as an idiot, then to prove that you are an idiot.”
I’m a Beavs fan. He should’ve stayed here. Even with the team being worse, he would’ve been a lifetime hero in Corvallis for staying when everyone left. His transfer to FSU was a loss for everyone involved.
His throwing motion has a funky delivery about it
I'm sure his is nice guy but he just is not THAT guy. Besides, I am sure he has made more money than most folks watching this video. He best bet is to stack a million and get his degree.
He wasn’t helping himself out picking fsu
I feel bad for DJU. Oregon State was left behind after the PAC-12 dissolution forcing him to find a third home. On top of that, Kyle and other receivers drop his passes that could have led to touchdowns and, both the O-line and D-lines are horrible. DJU is the dark side of realignment. For every Cam Ward, who is also on his third school (Incarnate Word - Washington State - Miami), there is a DJU.
I too feel bad for him. Everyone clowning on him. But I just feel bad for the kid. He’s an athletic kid. Something has happened and he can’t seem to shake it.
I agree with the TE switch. Its worked for many college QBs
