So you’re hating on him because our defense got their shite kicked in and he wasn’t required to make any “tough” throws that night?
How does that differ from any game where Tua would throw for 3 TDs on 12 passes to our stud WRs that we’re making opponent DBs look silly?
The kid is good, won’t kill you to give credit where credit is due.
If you want to frame it that way, then have at it.
You can also say I hate on UCF because their schedule sucks.
Personally, I think it's just smart to take what actually happens on the field into account. People claim he did all this stuff against Alabama, "carved us up" some claim - and I just do not see it when I watch the game.
I give credit where credit is due. You want to talk about an elite Clemson QB who "carved up" Alabama then we can do that. That QB's name is Deshaun Watson and I will have absolutely NO trouble providing gifs and highlight footage of him making incredible throws and plays. Watson was 100% robbed of the Heisman and was the difference on the field in his games.
And for this most recent game, the credit is due to his offensive line, the defensive line and their coaches.
He may be the next greatest QB ever, but it's not because of anything he did vs Alabama that says it. We were on the other end of what we usually dish out.

Watson carved up Alabama in 2015. In 2016, they quite literally cheated to get 14 of their points. Absent that, 21 legal points on over 100 plays isn't great.
Just because a receiver is open doesn't mean you're not elite. A lot of receivers getting open is predicated on the QB - checks at the line, eye movement, ability to read a defense to find who is open, etc. Elite quarterbacks usually don't pass into coverage often, because they know how to avoid it. Part of what makes you an elite QB as well is the consistent ability to hit open guys right in stride, and Lawrence's pass placement was incredible all night.
