ESPN First Take

[Dpantherman]

the debate crew will discuss Jimmy Clausen. its on ESPN2. replay from 12-2. We'll see what mr. Skip Bayless has to say ( i can only imagine). im going to class, so someone let me know what he says.

[Swarly]

it's coming up in shortly. they're discussing The Golden Calf of Bristol now.

[Squirrel]

coming up now.

[Swarly]

lol what a surprise Skip doesn't like Clausen, but loves The Golden Calf of Bristol.

[Swarly]

for those that missed it, at first he went on and on about how The Golden Calf of Bristol was a great pick.. then comes Clausen..

he didn't say a damn word about his experience in a pro style offense, or his accuracy or the fact he can make every throw, the only thing he talked about was his leadership/attitude/etc. went on to say that several teams passed on him in the 2nd round(included Raiders, Bills, Vikes) for a reason, without specifying a reason besides leadership problems.. and then said the reason Carolina picked him was a "he's available, why not?"

the others at the desk all said he was a steal, and that he'll have the best chance to succeed in Carolina because of the o-line/run game/Steve Smith/etc. Skip just had to be different so he said bust.

[monstercat]

It makes me happy that Skip thinks Clausen will be a bust.

[Carolina Husker]

Skip Bayless trolls for a living. If you think he believes what he says, pummel your nuts with a phone book.

It makes me happy that we weren't grouped with teams like the Bills and the Raiders who "made the right move and passed on him." I mean really? Questioning a draft pick because the Raiders passed on him?? What a joke...

I couldn't care less whether he actually believes it or not. I'm just glad he said it because he is usually wrong about these things.

[RockyTopVol]

I hope that he doesn't have the chance to be a bust. I would love for Moore to take this job and own it like a true Pro Bowler.

I think that would be the best case senario for this team. For Clausen to get the job would probably have to mean that Moore blew it, or else got hurt.

[TylerDurden]

Yeah he said our basketball team would beat the Magic and go to the Eastern Conference Finals too...

F*ck Skip Gayness. (been waiting to use that)

[Dpantherman]

well no surprises here. i wont even watch it back (i recorded it) it will only piss me off.

[panthers55]

Part of the genius about picking 3 QBs this draft is that even if Clausen is a bust Pike might be good and Edwards could be our version of a smart high character Michael Vick. Best of all we didn't pay an arm and leg for them. Really we couldn't have done much better at this point.

[Dpantherman]

hmm... so Skip thinks Tony Pike will win the QB job
