With our O we are bringing a knife to a gun fight

[hoopsupstate]

That’s super funny because the Clemson fans I was with today said club is a pretty bad QB in terms of touch. He lofts balls and leaves them in bad positions (see the 3 almost ints) idk who they have behind him/coming in but they can’t be much worse

He should have been picked off twice today. Clarke and Wax showed stone hands.

We go as Shrader goes and today, Shrader didn't go so good.

I said a couple weeks ago I thought ED had a better arm and got told I was wrong by about 7 posters.

I was told by this board Dungey had a noodle arm
They have a very similar style of play so I'll keep comparing them, I know they have different pluses and minuses, thank you

Eric was more consistently accurate for sure. Garrett has improved his accuracy greatly, but still can be erratic there.

I would take Dungey's arm over Shrader. Everything else, give me Shrader.

 

[dwilmont44]

Dungey would go and take back the INTs he threw.

 

[Millhouse]

They did make five or six spectacular catches out of bounds though.

It was like pre senior year nassib

ED 100% had a better arm

 

[DilemaCuse]

My 1 complaint w the play calling, late 2nd quarter. LQA has best run of the day for 10 yards, starting to get some momentum and they then essentially throw 3 straight out of bounds, killing the mo

Agreed. I conceded because I wasn’t going to debate 7 people who were adamant GS had a better arm, because I just didn’t care enough, but nobody can tell me ED didn’t have a stronger arm and threw a better deep ball. And don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying ED threw a great deep ball but just better than GS.

The reality is if Cuse wants to sniff more consistent top 25 we need better than dungey and ED. Either a Devito and an oline that can block abd receivers who can catch or bring back Mcnabb.

 

[Iony44ny]

It wasn't a hit at all. A small chest bump on which the Clemson QB acted like he was shot.

Still, those guys need to be smarter, avoiding penalties has never been a strong point lol

 

[ClkWrkOrange]

They don't make a bowl last year without Shrader and are probably on a 3 game slide without him this year.

Not a Devito.

 

[Millhouse]

A guy like Shrader gives SU the best chance of beating teams outside the Top 25. But they will be a liability vs Top 25 type teams.

The types of QBs we need to really play with top teams won’t work here given the rest of the O talent.

Good post concise and probably right
I still prefer single threat QBs though in case things do fall into place

 

[Millhouse]

Let's be honest, we tried to convince ourselves during that 4 game win streak against mostly bad competition that we would compensate for losing OG. We can't.

I don't think og makes any difference today. He's good but not great and shrader only has eyes for him

 

[baggerbob]

We need to stop comparing Shrader to Dungey… dungey had a much better arm and I think was more accurate. Shrader is bigger and a better runner.

Dungey had better receivers Ish, Phillips, and 2 good running backs in Strickland, and Neal.

 

[buffalorange]

I think Shrader had a bad day and was skittish after the opening fumble. He was so worried about TOs he put the receivers in a crappy position to make plays. Also, when scrambling he seemed so tentative to turn upfield.

I think he was hurt after that targeting/not targeting play. A head shot like that can easily affect a player's abilities. And when that player is the QB, well...
