Is this 40 pound weight gain stat coming from clemsux? If so, it's questionable. Don't trust anything they say or do.

I hate Clempson with a passion but the dude is a stud QB. There is no way to pretend otherwise. We have some serious talent in our stable of QB's at Carolina now and I'm excited to watch them develop under Roper's guidance.
He was 202 last year...and 218 at the weigh in this week (same that was announced prior to the weigh in). Gained 16 pounds.

You don't have to take my word for it, or the official weigh in...it's able to be noticed in his photoshoot video:

You can come out of denial now. Yes, he's bigger this season.
I'm not in denial. Anything out of clemsux is suspect.
Did US News help with the weigh in?
Tough to argue with this, and I certainly see the basis for your opinion.
Going undefeated is tough, doing it two years back to back in the regular season is really tough. The team has to stay away from their own press if they want to be successful. This is one of the reasons I like the social media ban, it wont completely insulate them from it but I think it helps. There certainly is a chance to lose a ballgame this year. If I had to pick one to lose it would be Auburn with hopes that Auburn goes on to challenge for the west and win 10+ games. I dont think the country is convinced we beat them by 4 touchdowns, maybe those that have consumed too much orange kool aid. There is a reason the early line is around 7.5, at night on the plains, its going to be a good ballgame. They have Kevin Steele as a DC which is to our advantage. He tends to have over-complicated schemes and is slow to make adjustments. We finished 80th or so in total defense his last full year at Clemson, LSU finished at 41 under Steele and Auburn is coming off a 76th finish last year, maybe he can turn that around. This is why we play the ballgames.
And unless something catastrophic happens Watson goes as one of the first 10 picks in next years draft. I would love to see him go to San Fran over Cleveland, maybe the Saints make a move to find an heir apparent to the aging Brees. Those of you saying 3-5th round need to seek medical help, you probably have a brain injury.
Does it matter who did..it's the official weigh in, why would they need to lie?? This isn't UFC. Are your eyes not able to see in that pic his arms are thicker, and his legs definitely are thicker (that's where a decent amount of the weight is)? Do your eyes come out of Clemson? They shouldn't be suspect when looking at those pics from a photo-shoot only a few weeks ago. Just gave you a way to see for yourself.
Campus sports and ESPN's Adelson have reported it too, btw:

Yeah, it matters. You're on your rival's board posting links of pics to prove a qb's weight and someone from clemsux told a reporter your qb gained 36 (conveniently rounded up to 40) pounds since his freshman year? You cant tell someone's weight from pics. Plus, did dumbo tell the reporter that? The reporter is just repeating what they're told. This is the same guy who said kyle parker was better than most of the starting NFL quarterbacks. I don't believe anything that comes out his mouth.
Finally, I couldn't care less how much your qb weighs. But it's hilarious that the clemsux klan has little man syndrome. As usual.
Hahahaha...man you are delusional..guess you missed you were the 3-9 team and we were the 14-1 team. Salty much?
Little man syndrome? Yeah, I don't think so...guess those 5 odd years made you forget who the real big brother is in this rivalry:

Here, let me explain it to the person who seems to have a real issue with math.
Deshaun's reported weight at time of recruitment/commitment was 185lbs.
Feb 2014: http://sportstalksc.com/index.php/2014/02/05/swinney-couldnt-be-happier-with-recruiting-class-video/
You can see in this Rivals write up about the 2017 draft, their 2013 image shows they initially had him at 188 (oh, is that the site you are on now...a Rivals site?) :
https://n.rivals.com/news/farrell-ranking-the-top-32-prospects-for-the-2017-nfl-draft
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/119269
He entered CU at around 204 lbs...16 pounds above his HS listed weight during recruiting:
http://www.tigernet.com/story/football/The-Big-Weigh-In-12885
2015, official weigh in weight was 207...3 pounds heavier from 2014:
http://www.clemsontigers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=28500&ATCLID=210247604
..but ended up playing most of the season around 202 (less 5 pounds), discussed even here in the Post and Courrier...I believe that's a COLUMBIA publication, written by South Carolina reporter Gene Sapakoff, right?
http://www.tidelinemagazine.com/201...erback-deshaun-watson-works-hard-on-his-brand
New Weigh in (which btw, has a video up on the Clemson FB facebook) has him now at 218..again confirmed above.
So, though your denial will keep you from understanding this simple concept...218-188 = 30 lbs. Don't know what reporter said 40 (please show that link), but 30 is correct....unless you take it back to his freshman season at Gainesville, which you can see on this scarlettbuckeye.com site had him in 2012 listed at 176 lbs...which would then make it 42 lbs. ^_^

LMAO. What about "I don"t care about the weight of your qb" do you not understand? Get a life. Go listen to dumbo spew his fables. kyle parker better than most NFL qb's? willie korn would like his shoulder back, too. great medical team and coaching staff ya'll have there.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. You must not have passed middle school.
#We don't care.
dumbo still has a losing record vs. Carolina. How can that be?? Such a great & mighty coach!

Nah, I'm having more fun watching guys like you that say they aren't in denial them deny facts presented to them....that and reading famous threads like "Connor Mitch is better than Deshaun Watson". ROFL. This is better than Comedy Central.
Check out taternet if you want pure comedy gold. clemsux credibility is always in question. Y'all can only blame yourselves.
After FSU's scored 53 during the beatdown of clemsux (in their version of "death valley"), dumbo announces that if clemsux played FSU 10 times, they'd win 5. Talk about delusional!!! clemsux is 9-20 against Fl St. HAHAHA.
HAHAHA...Laugh is on you...look at the last 10 years of Fl State/Clemson...Clemson IS 5-5 since 2006, 6-5 and have the edge if you count 2005-2015. ^_^ So was he exactly wrong talking current day situation? Idiot.

Let's recount:
USC fan starts thread pondering whether Clemson QB is actually as good as pundits seem to be pegging him. On a sports message board.
Clemson fans chime in with opinions. On a sports message board.
Self-appointed board policeman Upstate Gamecock needs to override any discussion to let Clemson fans know that "he does not care about the Clemson QB or what he weighs, because Clemsux and other clever things and leave our board." On a sports message board.
Youve added a ton to the discussion, as usual, UpstateGamecock. Pat yourself on the back, as usual, UpstateGamecock. For what, the rest of us will never really know, but it must be a noble cause since you keep crapping on threads to do whatever service it is you think you're providing.
