"What makes you think you are ready?"

"Coach Weiss says so"

Really? Good lord.

Then he throws his receiver under the bus in the next question.

Also, watch his body language. He looks like a highschooler interviewing for a mcdonalds job. Can't sit still, poor posture, figity.

This guy has all the physical tools, but has a ton of growing up to do. A senior year would have done him well me thinks.

I was under the same impression during the original thread that it got brought up. I just really didn't like how he carried himself in the interview.

If he puts up the types of numbers he did his junior year at ND then for all I care he could have pooped in his hand, thrown his feces at gruden, then asked him to watch a marathon of Twilight movies and gotten matching tattoos of a nude, reclining Delhomme in a silk robe on their chests.

does he have a party reputation? Could be Kerry Collins v.2.0

Comes across as the anti-The Golden Calf of Bristol(and anti-Delhomme) almost

have to give him a chance though, could turn out to be a steal.

Anything anti-The Golden Calf of Bristol is ok in my book.

"I am a virgin and I dont believe in abortion. I am a warrior of God and I have a huge head."

I am a Christian myself, but damn The Golden Calf of Bristol. Chill out, live a little. You stuck up douche. Denver screwed themselves royally on the pick. Glad they passed on Clausen in hinds sight though.

I love how a persons beliefs are reason to attack them.

When Gruden started to tell him where he was screwing up he picked up a pen and took notes.

He's still a kid, and he's going to do and say stupid things. All of them do, even Manning (who's NEVER thrown a teammate under the bus, right?). But if he can learn and grow, and if he turns into the gym rat and film geek he suggested he wants to be, then we got a steal.

Moore is going to play well in 2010, I believe that. And maybe in 2011 as well. I sure hope he does. And I hope Clausen develops at the same time. Getting great play out of the QB position along with possible picks for the other guy someday would be great for all of us.

I'm really excited by the possibility. :)

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
