Charles Robinson calls Clausen a loser

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports has written a small, interesting piece on the seeming reversal of fortunes of Clausen and The Golden Calf of Bristol.

In reference to the draft (and looking towards the future), he gives us what all of us want to hear. He calls us "WINNERS". And, when you look at who else he calls winners, this is a writer that makes some sense. We can all take comfort in his apparent knowledge.

• The Carolina Panthers

No first-round pick, and Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen falls right into their lap with the 48th overall pick. A major stroke of luck for the franchise, giving it a first-round caliber quarterback to groom for the future. Now all John Fox needs to do is get an extension from the Panthers so he can be around to actually reap the benefits of this windfall in a few years.

Charles Robinson is actually a pretty good sports writer (so is Jason Cole; Yahoo's done themselves good in that department).

That said, he didn't actually call Claussen "a loser". Just said that he was a draft day loser in that he dropped so far.

Of course, Mr. Scot. The point was that looks can be deceiving. The only thing that Clausen lost is money (which I guess is a very big thing to him),

while The Golden Calf of Bristol is earning more money than everyone expected which makes him a big winner. BUT, in the end, because of their situations, The Golden Calf of Bristol may turn out to be the loser. Likewise, Clausen will ultimately be the winner.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
