Clemson is having a strong year under head coach Dabo Swinney. The play of quarterback Cade Klubnik is a big part of the reason why.
Swinney recently spoke about his junior quarterback and how important it is to have patience with young players while they develop.

“It’s hard to have patience because you have so much noise and fans. If a kid isn’t great as a freshman and the head coach is under so much pressure, you go on to the next guy,” Swinney said. “Everybody wants to win yesterday. Unfortunately quarterback play, all play, it’s developmental. If we threw guys away as first-year starters, we’d miss out on some of the greatest players to ever play. There just isn’t a lot of patience anymore.
“You can see it in the NFL, too. Some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL now weren’t great early in their careers. But people develop. Sometimes you have a guy who transitions right away but that’s not always the case.”
A former five-star recruit, Klubnik was a first-year starter during the 2023 season. There was pressure on Klubnik to perform right away and he continued to progress as the season progressed.
“The game has slowed down for him,” Swinney said of his quarterback. “He is a second-year starter and is still developing. It’s not just mental. It’s physical. It’s everything together. You’ve seen guys who have hung around and gotten better in college football.
“You see that right now with Cade. I think we have the same thing with Christopher Vizzina. And he’s getting better. He had patience on the front end. But he’s getting better. Y’all don’t really see it. He’s really progressing. He’s kind of doing it in the dark. Patience isn’t a popular word these days.”
