Dude didn’t have nice things to say about their offense. Called it “basic” and he “didn’t want to do what they do”.
Still can’t see that he isn’t that good.

That guy sucked, and we were better off for him having played at Clemson. I wish he stayed and ruined them again this year.

First year he was better than their current savior. Maybe it was the Streeter effect. One question though….why would you recruit a pro-style QB to run a spread offense?
I think this year in Oregon he’s gonna prove it was the coaching
Wasn't Streeter the OC for only his second year? Meaning he sucked both full years he played, and only one under Streeter?
But you're right, I remember him playing a couple games well that one year.
I never thought he was good at making decisions, and his accuracy seems to get worse as time goes on. I still wish he stayed, he makes them a worse team.
I wouldn’t describe their offense as spread. I might be wrong. They, and others depend on a mobile qb. He wasn’t that
I know Streeter wasn’t there his first year, not sure about the second.
Did the Oregon coach fly him over the stadium and tell him, "that's where you'll be throwing TD passes"? 
I'm not so sure. In the games of theirs that I watched, he just looked like a head case. Rattled easily. Once he made a mistake, he couldn't bounce back.
Similar to Rattler under Satterfield’s offense? Rattler looked lost at times under Satterfield, he really came into his own the last few games when the play calling looked as though there was actually a game plan. The tutelage and play calling can make a huge difference.
Streeter was there the entirety of DJ's career at Clempson. He was Deshaun Watson's and Trevor Lawrence's QB coach for both championship years. He was the qb coach from 2015-2021, passing game coordinator from 2020-2021, and OC 2022.
IMO, it was DJ U isn't a generational talent at QB, and the last 2-3 years, their WR room has fell off really bad. Went from every year having 1-2 guys drafted to last year's best receiver being freshman Antonio Crybaby Williams. Their O line also took a big step back. All in all, IMO, Clempson just isn't as good as a whole as they were a few years back. They've landed big prospects that have turned out to not be as good as their ratings. We could talk about if they were really big prospects or not, kinda like a QB commits to them, then wins MVP in a 7on7 without pads and goes from a 3 star to a 5 star overnight.
Streeter as an OC prob had something to do with it, but DJU/their offense suck when Elliot was there too. Per above, it was probably a combo of those things, mostly being the talent level fell off.

Was the coaching drastically different from the last 2 QBs?
I think they had to simplify the offense for DJU. Sometimes you just miss on a guy. Lord knows we have.
Well…yea…it was…an OC who had never been an OC before was gifted the reins to the Clemson offense with dj to deal with…watched a podcast on this too…a lot of people think that he is going to do better where he’s going…and lord I know we all wish Fenwick (ex gamecock RB) was in OUR backfield this year…he’ll be taking the load off DJ…the competition isn’t tougher there…and he is a west coast kid…the “fit” is probably just better…happy players play better
Same. I approve of any and all things that make Clemson look bad
Well, the passes he threw against us tells me he was the weak link, at least not a real game time QB. If the offense was that simple he should have been able to deliver the ball better.
Just out out of curiosity, I googled the comparison of their offense from 2021 to 2022. When Streeter took over, it looks like he did improve them, even with DJ still playing qb.

I was not a Floyd Mayweather fan, but the dude caught shade from Larry Merchant in every post fight interview, to which Mayweather once responded "Larry Merchant is a commentator, he don't know sh__ about the sport of boxing", which was true. Perception may be opinion, but its not often reality.
Same in other sports. If you haven't dropped back trying to read coverage and read it the same as your receiver(s) while your brain's eye sees the other guys' jerseys on your side of the line and your mind's eye sees the one(s) your brain's eye doesn't, you're the Larry Merchants of social media.
Shipley and Mafah had a year under their belt and they picked up Antonio Williams and the WR from Myrtle Beach....WR room was no-man's land from what I remember, that could have something to do with some of the improvement.
DJ Ugelele (sic), former Clemson and now Oregon QB, talking about Clemson's offense under OC Streeter.
Old argument. Usually its responded to with something like "you don't have to be a chef to know the food tastes bad".
And if we followed the rules that you have to play a position to comment on someone else's ability to play it, this message board would be dead. Like 3 posts a year kind of dead.
Oh wow. Nice.Did the Oregon coach fly him over the stadium and tell him, "that's where you'll be throwing TD passes"?
