HAILSKINSNYC Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I want no part of drafting a QB....no way. If we don't trade down, we draft either Suh, gerald mccoy or russell okung...okung being my first choice....CJ Spiller is very tempting, but I doubt shanahan would draft a RB in the first round.

#98QBKiller Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Really? What Bowl is he playing in again? The bowl of having no defense or run game and putting the team squarely on your shoulders all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Please no. Even Joe Theisman himself said on the radio that Clausen is a looooong way from being able to lead an NFL team. Has a junior QB ever come into the league and done well? I think it probably has happened but no one comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzhi Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Not surprising, I knew Bradford and him are coming out since October while people on ES was saying differently. It's a weak QB class, and if you have chance to be 1st rounder, would be stupid to pass up. Everyone saw what happen to Bradford this year.

bird_1972 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 with the 5th or 6th pick, and two teams in front of us most likely taking a QB (not sure about cleveland) we should have the pick of the litter on QBs. from what ive seen okung will go top 4 so we wont have a shot at him and hes the only real front line LT in the draft at the moment.hopefully our new GM knows how to pick a QB. If that's the case, perhaps we should consider trading out of our top 1st rounder to get more picks and draft even more OL. Even if they aren't "elite", they will be 1st/2nd round talent and will be better than what we have already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS call? i agree that call was bad, but again he had a chance and did not deliever uconn.... should ND lose to ND at home on sr. day? but again he had a chance to win it and uconn had terrible clock management standford... does not matter how many pts the d gave up he had the ball in his hands to win the game the truth is no game is one and lost on the the last play or one play of the game.... he had the ball in his hands and had a chance to win or tie the game and came up short in all those games..... and USC and Standford are the only teams that had better talent (and standford is debateable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt....a bad call at the end doesnt make up for all the other chances in the game that Clausrn didnt close out. UConn is a better team with better talent than ND so they should win. If ND played a Big East, Pac-10 or SEC, schedule they would be at the bottom of the league every year. Stanford is a better team than ND.... and they proved it. Navy needed a miracle so I guess touchdown Jesus was working for the other team. Everyone has close games and unfair games. The good teams overcome those times and win them even when the refs are calling everything against them. Dont make excuses....6 losses does not make a team good. Anyone that says that Pitt, UConn and Michigan have worse talent than ND are sadly mistaken. Michigan gets lots of top prosepcts every year. Pitt does too because of Wannstedt...I think 9-2 is better than 6-6 UConn...same as Pitt....slightly worse record this year but still better than ND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 This is good news as it increases the likelihood that if a Top Tier OT is not there, that a RB, QB, CB, or some other position of great need will be there. Clausen is clearly a Top 30 Talent, problem is there is a log jam at QB this year. Maybe we can sneak one in the 2nd Rd like Miami did With Henne and White.

Gregpeck99 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Clausen is an upgrade over Campbell ... but Bradford and Locker are better prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anyone who needs a QB will be interested - and since the Rams and Browns will draft before us they will get dibs. We have too many other needs to trade up. Not convinced the Browns go QB. Brady Quinn has begun to show some promise with 8 total TDs over his past 3 games. The Rams will definitely go quarterback and I think a team like the Seahawks may try to jump into the top 5 as well. Im a little torn on drafting a qb and I think a lot will be determined by how Campbell finishes up the year. Aside from putting up good statistical games, he needs to show he can make a clutch play down the stretch and lead us to a comeback win to really secure another year here for him.

Rypien1191 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If we can't get Okung, we should trade down to anyone looking for a QB. We should fleece the Jets like the Browns did last year for Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfmonk Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Clausen is an upgrade over Campbell ... but Bradford and Locker are better prospects.:hysterical: You have got to be kidding me. Clausen wont be starting in the NFL on a good team. He is a career 2nd stringer at best. He is overvalued because he goes to Notre Dame and the publicists there are well paid. He is as good as Beuerlein was coming out of college. He is a solid QB that might be able to start for a few seasons while you bring along a really good one....but not one that will dazzle you with how good he is. He wont approach Theismann in his career. Montana is greater than a football God in comparison. Notre Dame is not a relevant school anymore. They need an great coach and a great recruiter like a Wannstedt..... or Willingham....oh yeah....he was probably fired for being too black ....unlike Weiss....who has a worse record and is white. Go Notre Dame! Go far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had anything that resembled a defense, we'd be talking BCS right now. If their offense was as bad as their defense, they are a 2-10 team at best. You can't say Clausen isn't a winner because they didn't score a TD on every drive. :hysterical:Notre Dame is not a relevant school anymore. They need an great coach and a great recruiter like a Wannstedt..... or Willingham....oh yeah....he was probably fired for being too black ....unlike Weiss....who has a worse record and is white. Go Notre Dame! Go far away. You guys btw are cracking me up with this Wannstedt thing, you both think he's great? How little you guys forget how they were considering firing him every year for his first 3-4 years. And the whole "ND fired Willingham because he's black" thing is annoying. If they didn't want a black coach they wouldn't have got him in the first place after O'Leary, I'm sure there was another white guy that would've coached the team. I'm not saying we should draft Clausen by any means, but I'm just trying to defend him a bit here. The one year he finally gets a decent o-line, he throws for over 3,700 yards with 28 TD's and 4 picks (only 1 of which was squarely on his shoulders) and granted, a few of those TD's were great grabs by Floyd, Tate, or Rudolph, but you have to put where the defense ain't, and he does that better than any QB in college.

hailskins11 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is being seriously uninformed. He is easily the best NFL QB in this draft. Dude, that is VERY debatable. He is not easily the best QB in this draft. 3/4 throwing motion and he had Floyd and Tate catching those deep balls. His deep ball is very suspect.
