Yeah, I wanted Clemson to wise up in terms of starting Watson. I just wanted them to wait until after they played us

Been saying it since he was still in HS...dude is legit. He's going to be a nightmare for us and the rest of the ACC to play against for the next 3 or so years. It's not just UNC...he looked really good in limited minutes against UGA and FSU as well.
To think, he played ball in GA...sigh...and I believe we were one of the first schools to offer him. He just never liked or offense. Can you believe UGA didn't even offer him until halfway through his senior year?
On another note, the ACC is stocked with some young QB talent. Watson, Kaaya (Miami), our very own JeT, Famous Jameis (though I don't expect him to stay after this year), Brissett (NCSU) who's back next year. Gonna be some nice QB battles in the ACC.

I honestly think they had a shot at beating UGA if he'd played the 2nd half. He was torching their D in the first half of that game. I'm not looking forward to GT having to face him the next several years.

He's one of those players that has poise far beyond his years. I was at the Clemson-UNC game and was constantly stunned at how well he could see the field and make smart decisions.
I will say, though. His biggest strength so far has been throwing downfield. Our bend-but-don't-break defense will try to take that away and force him to beat us underneath. Hopefully our game will be the one where he finally looks like a freshman and makes a couple of mistakes.

I saw him when he was in 10th grade. Best high school player I've ever seen on that particular night.

Yeah, Dabo Swinney is pretty much a moron. He said he'd play him again in the bowl game before sending him to surgery in the offseason

Unless a comet comes and wipes out all the teams in front of Clempson in the CFP poll, Watson AND his coaches should look out for his best interests and stop risking his health.

Yep. Terrible move. The kids a freshman and you're allowing him to screw up his knee even more.
