James Graham is the future

[Ibeeballin]

Come on now. James Graham's minutes were against disinterested 3rd stringers protecting a 40 point lead and he missed several EASY pitch and catches. Couple good throws, couple garbage throws. TO's minutes would have looked very similar in the same situation.

Disinterested??? LMAO!!!!!

TO wouldn’t have stayed in the pocket long enough to make a throw.

He would have if he had gotten pressured as little as JG did.

You should know better than anyone that the emotional approach when you're winning by 40 is much different than the 1st quarter in a close game. Emotions are huge in this sport. It's a game of adrenaline.

 

[g0lftime]

I am concerned the way they stacked the box on TO and we couldn't take advantage of that. Others will do the same until he proves he can throw.

 

[Josh H]

Don't remember the name, but radio crew pointed out that Browns TD catch was against the first string safety.

 

[g0lftime]

Lots to work on on both sides.

Dude... coaches have watched them all summer and lj didn’t start and only got a couple of plays. That’s a red flag. Open scholarship

Nah, the dopes here know more than the coaches who spend 100 hours a week analyzing who the more talented player is.

 

[SidewalkJacket]

Dabo is a great coach who specializes in motivating guys to give their all. I highly doubt the backups in the game were mailing it in.

We will still need TO’s ability to run the ball this season. But I agree that JG looked poised and threw some good balls. Kept his eyes downfield too.

Here’s a hint. TO can’t throw. He couldn’t throw last year and he can’t now.

If we are going to run the spread then we need to roll with Graham.

I’m going by the coaches opinion. Do you think they think he’s a heisman candidate but wanted to sand bag for USF?

 

[tech_wreck47]

Only QB who played with poise. Don’t care it was vs the 2s

Agree, didn’t look phased in the pocket one bit. Even on two throws (completions) where Clemson brought the house.

 

[Ramblinwreck07]

I’ll lead the bandwagon. James Graham should be the starting QB moving forward. Give him 1st team reps and a legit shot to see what we have in him. He looked the part tonight, looked much more comfortable than TO. Graham’s throwing motion is also much more fluid.

My only assumption is that they think Tobias Oliver gives them a better chance to win a football game than Lucas Johnson and James Graham.

For the record I have no favorites and only want the guy who gives us the best chance to win to be named starter.

 

[g0lftime]

Same in all sports. Some guys can make the putts in practice or hit free throws in practice but put them under pressure and they fold. Some guys are gamers and some are practice players. Let's find out who can play. TO can flat run but needs to make throws under pressure. We will know in a couple of weeks.

it was 2018 all over again. We saw enough of Taquon last year to not need to see any more of that this year.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Yes, based on what I could see tonight, I would rather use TO as a slot receiver if he has good hands, and either Graham, who looked somewhat poised against 2/3 stringers tonight OR LJ at QB, if we can provide pass protection (highly doubtful). I think Graham is probably the guy, and we can hope he is "Nick Marshall - lite". Marshall was a great athlete and decent passer.

 

[GT Tennessee]

James look decent down the field throws, but short to medium needs work on accuracy. We ran it great with option looks, but got to back the defense off.

+1 me too! I thought LJ would be the starter. We are really bad at the QB position.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Graham was very upbeat in his post game interview. Said he wanted to win the starting job, win the ACC and maybe a national championship. He then laughed.

I like the kid’s confidence.

 

[Jd89]

It was against 2nd and 3rd stringers, which are all 4 and 5 star recruits and probably more talented than many other defenses we see this year.
