Boyd said on a podcast a while back the reason he couldn't hang in the NFL is that he wasn't able to mentally rep situations without actually running them live on the field. When you're down the depth chart you aren't given that opportunity and consequently he looked terrible. He basically said to be a good NFL qb you have to be able to visualize defensive coverages in your head better than he could.
I'm not taking anything away from him but all those guys would catch anything. I mean they never dropped the ball 😂. Sammy was good after the catch in college too. Martavis was tall af and could body people.
@@jimjason5146people don’t realize how great a trio that was unless you really followed clemson. hopkins is hopkins, sammy was one of the best college wrs ive seen, and martavis might’ve been the most talented out of the three
@williamloftin5793 I wish I would've seen this. I used 2 packets of hot coco mix to make a personal 5x5 brownie. You don't need much. 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix (two packets) 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil) 3 tablespoons milk (or water) A pinch of salt 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a lighter texture but I add it)
Now you gotta do Taj's rival from South Carolina. Connor Shaw. Came off the bench in his first game and threw for 300+ and 4 TD's, never lost a home game in his 4 year career (17-0), never had double digit INT'S, took SC from a perennial loser to finishing inside the top 25 all 4 years of his career, including finishing #4 in the nation his senior year.
@@DerekTt-je6gd Lattimore only played 1 full year with Shaw. He only played partial years in the other 2 he was there, yet Shaw still continued to dominate with or without him.
As a WVU fan I remember being so mad that Tahj Boyd had committed to the Mountaineers but flipped to Clemson late in the process but it was a blessing in disguise because that is how Geno Smith ended up in Morgantown and we all know how their matchup against each other ended up in the Orange Bowl. Anyway as usual another interesting story Matt. Keep up the outstanding work.
That WVU asswhoopin will always be stamped into my head as a Clemson fan for two reasons. I truly thought we had a chance and I couldn't have been more wrong, but it did lead to Venables becoming the DC. That hire was huge for Clemson!
Clemson Tigers guy here! Salute Matt Be Great love the Tajh Boyd store ! I'm both a Clemson fan and from Virginia!Tajh Boyd is a good person all around! Everyone always has nothing but great things to say about him! Still coaches at Clemson, a mentor to the current QB Cade Klubnik and somewhat of a motivational speaker! In Virginia highschool legend in football with Michael Vick, Ronald Curry ,& Allen Iverson / all at QB!!!Yup I'll say W for sure!!!🐯💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Tajh started it all for us to be a national championship team. Not alot of people give him enough credit. He put Clemson on the correct road to be a national championship team. I honestly believe that if we never had Tajh we still would not have won a national championship today. He truly gave Clemson fans hope. This is why dabo hired him on staff. He is a good dude!
Softest schedule in the country for the past decade. Completely irrelevant since 2020. Super short run is absolutely dead in the water over. An eye blink of a run. LMAO
@@kingmcelrath88 let me refresh your memory...2021 - smoked by OSU in the Sugar Bowl 49-28, barely beat Iowa State 20-13 in the Pop Tart Bowl 2022, SMOKED in the Orange Bowl '23 against UT 31-14, barely beat a terrible Kentucky team in the Gator Bowl 38-35. 3 losses 3 years in a row. Sit your ass down.
@@nicojones5785 and guess what bitch?! still more successful than 98% of the fucking country over the past DECADE. smoked on plenty of Buckeye, tide, bulldog, tiger, and sooner packs in that time frame. the last three years don't change that. especially with you using a year they lost in the playoffs, and another when they won the conference as saying they aren't good.
Hey I want to say thank you so much for making great videos. I had a tragedy in my family recently and your videos have helped me feel some happiness during this hard time. I can’t thank you enough for that. Also if you can do a video on taylor martinez I am big husker.
Boyd's BEST play was 4th and 16 trailing LSU. He completed the pass to Nuk Hopkins, and Clemson went on to win the game. That began Clemson's rise to the top, and LSU sank like a rock and took years to recover.
Brooooo I really feel like you dodging the “What happened to Peter Warrick” come on Matt give us what we want! I’ve literally commented on every video! Please make that vid bro and I appreciate your content my boy
He ain’t disappeared, he’s on Clemson sideline every Saturday…. And it’s hella weird you’re bringing up these dudes arrest records smh that’s so weird, you’re obviously bored looking for clicks. I may have missed it but is this guy making content of white players getting arrested ??
Do a video on Nick Starkel. I played against him when I was on San Jose state when we beat him at Arkansas, then played with him the following year when he transferred to SJSU
I played with him as a kid he’s from Virginia. We were on our All-Star team together. He’s a really solid guy. Just got into the wrong situation but for me to everybody watching this, he’s a really good dude and did his thing at Clemson. Don’t let the media fool you.
Taj is a very good guy. I've met him plenty of times. Great football mind. And he really helps players out at Clemson on and off the field. Could tell you a story when he showed up downtown in Clemson at a bar to pick up players who were about to get into a fight one night.
Moment Matt said that he was drafted to the Jets, so many things clicked for me. This is a franchise that drafter a QV in 2nd just to never play him. Christian Hackenberg also flamed out in one of those spring leagues (XFL or UFL, not sure which)
Nothing happened to Tajh Boyd. He was a good collegee QB. TIgers had a great receiving corp and they play in the ACC. His strength was actually his ability to get a tough yard running the ball. Very tough and physical runner. Grreat leader. His weakness was accuracy. He got it in the vicinity. Trevor Lawrence could throw in a shoebox from 30 yards. He sold condominiums close the the stadium after he finished. In his defense, the location was miserable and they ended up in financial trouble through no fault of Boyd.
QB Tajh Boyd is the starting point of the Clemson Tigers championship runs although he never lead Clemson to the national championship game 🐘🏈 Honestly i still feel like Clemson was only supposed to beat Alabama 1 time during their CFP rivalry. Refs didn't call it so Clemson got fortunate to win 2. If Dabo Swinney wants to remain at Clemson he needs a few more QBs like Tajh Boyd, DeShaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence with the supporting cast of impact players and a solid defense. Dabo Swinney needs to explore the transfer portal and recruit like he did 2014-2020. Just because Dabo got over Saban twice doesn't mean don't adapt to the changes in the game. For you Clemson Tiger fans hopefully Dabo Swinney gets some coaching advice from a now retired Nick Saban. Look how Texas, Ole Miss and UGA came up. All the head coaches was under Nick Saban 🐘🏈
Matt you should do college football 25 content….. idk if you’re a gamer or not but idk lol you should put yourself in the game and do like a road to glory story or a coach on dynasty mode idk just a thought
Hey Matt! Can you do what happened to Daryll Clark video (former Penn State QB)? That would be a perfect video. The man went 22-4 as a starter and won a big ten championship. Played in the rose bowl. Finished in the top 10 both seasons, he was the starter. And he barely gets a mention among top PSU QBs. In fact, still run into fans who wish Devlin got more of a look.
@@bg199083 If Ki Jana Carter did not have the knee problems , how would his pro career have turned out ? . Also , I want to know more about the DJ Dozier situation . Wasn't he playing both MLB and NFL ?. I wish that Matt could go that far back .
Do a video about Quincy Carter. Him getting bailed out of jail by local radio station (HOF Randy Galloway) bc it was sad he couldn’t raise a small amount of bail. It was crazy.
Boyd will always and forever be my reason for giving kids NIL. Clemson won because of Boyd, not in spite of him. Clemson never had a good defense while Boyd was there. Not one year was that defense good. Even in his final year, while they ranked 24th in scoring defense, it was only because all the terrible teams outside of the ranked teams they played. They gave up 51 to FSU, 31 to South Carolina and 35 to Ohio St. Im not saying he wasn't to blame for some of the problems, but anybody knows that if you are in a shootout with a trash defense, you feel like you have to play hero ball all the time. Take FSU game for example. If you gave Boyd 100 more yards and 2 more TDs while taking 100 yards and 3 TDs from FSU, FSU would still win 30-28 and would still out pace them in yards at 465 to 424. FSU was just way better on defense and offense. Boyd is the reason why Clemson became relevant. It was offense that first led Clemson to success. They were 6-7 the year before Boyd and he took them 10-4 while having the 81st scoring defense. It was the first year since 1990 that they won 10 games. Boyd always reminded me of a what coulda been. What if they had put him on an Andy Reid team and let him develop. As a 6th round pick, they aren't really looking at developing you. You either show something immediately, or you're gone. Going to the Canadian league, you damn sure aint going to be developed. This is the type of guy that deserved a 3 mill dollar contract in college. Think of what he could have done at USC under Lane Kiffin. USC had the #16 scoring defense, ran a spread offense, and had elite talent at the skill positions in 2013. Two of their 4 losses were by a combined 7 points. I know Clemson fans will have a different opinion, but i feel like Boyd walked so Clemson itself could run. Him running that offense showed something to recruits. Sammy Watkins and Nuk Hopkins showed something to recruits.
