TAjh Boyd about 50/50 staying at CU

[Chadlessness]

I don't know if he'd be willing to take a pay cut by going to the NFL before he has to.

In all seriousness, he probably can't improve his draft status too much by staying an extra year. I'm sure he can come back and graduate after making his millions in the pros.

If he were playing in a top notch conference he would have a better shot. Of course just like in the case of Geno Smith, playing in a better conference might hurt his chances too. I think Deebo talks him out of his NFL money this year with his offer of more taterdollars.

Your offense, minus Hopkins and Ellington will have his numbers on a big hit.

And then you have Johnny Manziel, Ohio States qb, Aaron Murray may return, in addition to Clowney.

All that being said, LONGSHOT

If Tajh goes pro... this really hurts Clowneys chances at Heisman. he likes to pad those stats against Boyd. 6.5 sacks in 2 years.

[The Yancey]

On one of the sports radio shows a couple of days ago a former coach said that Taj would be a perfect fit for a Kelly offense and to keep a close eye on where Kelly ended up. He said that he thought that this type of player draft control was part of the contract negotiations.

[2000grad]

Does he really want to be sacked 4 more times by clowney

[USCremedy]

Boyd in KC with Andy Reid? would probably be an improvement from what they have already. Could probably get Tajh in 2nd or 3rd rd. and we all know Reid likes the somewhat mobile QBs who can throw.

You bring up a good point. Geno Smith would likely fit that mold as well.

Tajh is much more mobile than Geno.

Actually, Geno hardly ever runs.

Also, remember- Russell Wilson didnt project well to the NFL, either.

I Tajh is much more durable.

Just got this off of nfldraftscout.com who rates him as the 6th best QB

01/05/13 - Tajh’s father told me again on Friday that his son would “most likely” be back for 2013 … but added Tajh is still “undecided.” Tajh told me last month he’d have to be a “top-tier” selection to consider foregoing a special senior season. My sense is he’ll be back. But I also think the likelihood has declined from 97 percent likely to return, to, say, 85.8 percent. Why?
For starters, Tim Boyd said the Chick-fil-A Bowl performance boosted his draft stock. He said his son has been told he could now be a “top 60” selection in the NFL Draft, ranging from the late second- to middle of the third round. Though other analysts peg him as a mid- to late-round selection. Against LSU, Boyd showed, toughness, excellent footwork, the ability to go to his second and third progression all while avoiding turnovers against an elite defense. - Travis Sawchik, The Post and Courier

Strike while the iron is hot

[Cocknfire55]

All smack aside, he is no worse than Christian ponder was his senior year. I think he's a second round QB, but hey, im no draft expert. the only thing im an expert at is drinking beer.

No he wouldn't be an improvement. Quinn may not be the answer long term but he fits better in Reid's system tha Boyd. Reid will get either someone else or wait a year to get his QB. If Reid was wise he'd wait until next year to get a QB because this year QB class sucks.

[trapper82]

So Boyd is as high on some boards as late second round and as low as late rounds, that's before combines. A month or two of busting your hump can get you into a more solid state. Will be interesting, but I will make two predictions s:

1. He will come back.
2. He will regret it, just like Kyle Parker.

[USCremedy]

RG3 and Andrew Luck have ruined QB drafts for the next few years. Everyone says this QB class sucks but i think its more of a comparison to last years class. There are 3-5 QBs in this class with the potential to start for a NFL team in a few years. Maybe not any that could take a team over right away but this years class is decent.

According to the Charleston Post & Courier, Clemson junior QB Tajh Boyd received a late second- to middle of the third-round grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board upon submitting paperwork for a pro evaluation.

I'd say that is a pretty fair assessment........ but personally, I don't see much more than backup in Boyd's future........

[Legalman72]

He won't go.

Didn't the Boyd family move to Clemson after his dad suddenly got a great job?

He's not leaving.
