You know what's sad? No matter who starts at QB, the Clausen pick has already divided this board and our fan base more than ever. Bickering about a player is such a waste of energy and time. Sure I have my preference, but I'll support whoever throws the rock this season.

Just as long as Jarrett isn't thrown to. :wink:

i'm being won over.

i still want to see what moore can do but i'm starting to get the idea that clausen can take the team further. i'm really wanting to see what clausen can do with this team around him. the possibilities are getting me excited about the future.

I agree with everything except for one thing... I don't know if Mcdaniels wanted a system guy. But think Mcdaniels wanted a QB that would be all over his nuts. And The Golden Calf of Bristol is that guy. :)

I really don't get the The Golden Calf of Bristol pick. It's not like he has exceptional tools to work with - his arm isn't that strong. His throwing motion will need completely reworking (which should improve his accuracy). He won't be able to run in the NFL.

All he has is his 'competitive spirit', which Clausen gets bagged for. McDaniels is playing with fire here - it's a ballsy pick, but jeez he's risking his job over it.

Oh and Moore isn't a stud. He's a gun slinger (without the elite arm) being shoe-horned into a game manager role, nothing more.

I agree with you here. One thing that I am unsure of is does anyone other than me thing that he can possibly go through regressions? I know back when I pitched in highschool changing my mechanics it was damn hard for me to do. And because I had pitched the same way for years there were in fact times when i regressed and went back to my old ways... I mean I know these are two different sports were talking about here but i think the concept is pretty much the same. I am confident when i say The Golden Calf of Bristol will not be near the QB Clausen will be and I am happy i'm not a broncos fan...

And i know everyone has probably seen this but i thought i'd put it here anyways. I heard in the days leading up to the draft that Jimmy "threw his receiver under the bus." Personally I did not think that at all. He was just stating what happened. And he didn't seem to be that cocky asshole so many perceive him to be.. Just my two cents though. enjoy

Changing mechanics can be done - Brad Ziegler of the Oakland Athletics is now a submariner after failing as a conventional pitcher. It just takes a lot of time, effort and hard work.

Not something I want to spend a 1st round pick on.

Exactly my point. Why waste a first round pick on a developmental pick like The Golden Calf of Bristol. And taking Demaryius Thomas before Dez? Borderline retarded. That draft is Epic fail.

I don't like the person, but he's our QB now so I'm pulling like hell for him. I may actually buy his jersey once it's up to make it easier :P

Anyone wanting any of our picks/players to crash has their priorities out of whack. Armanti seems to be getting more of that so far though.

I don't like ND, never have... so I have a built in bias against anything from ND - but with that being said, it's hard to argue with the FACTS presented in this writeup, Clausen is a great find for us and could end up being one of the biggest draft steals of all time.

that was 1 year, have you seen his other years?

7td's/6int's

25td's/17int's

28td's/4int's

incosistancy is a big thing in the NFL and that is not consistant

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Clausen

uhhh okay? All I see there is that he progressed and became better.

Peyton Manning: 11td/6int -> 22td/4int -> 20td/12int -> 37td/11int

Philip Rivers: 25td/10int -> 16td/7int -> 20td/20int -> 34td/7int

etc, I could sit here and name tons of elite QB's who had shaky college seasons.

all that matters is he improved.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
