does anybody else get the feeling that when it comes time for training camp that Jimmy Clausen will hold out for top dollar? kind of like Crabtree holding out last season because he wanted top 5 money even though he wasnt drafted top 5,but he thought he should get top 5 money b/c he was PROJECTED to be top 5. Clausen strikes me as the type that would do the same thing.Before the draft he thought he was top 5 and was looking for 40-50 million. then he fell i dont see him signing for 3-5 million

Beason held out because Hurney was offering a non-traditional option bonus. Crabtree held out for 4 slots difference in pay.

Clausen could hold out for, say, the same pay as the Bills second rounder or if he gets an odd contract offer. It would be a monumentally dumb move as it would destroy any chance of starting this year, be that remote or not; however, dumber things have happened.

Now if he tries to get first round money? He should get a CAT scan to see if his hair gel is actually just his brain leaked out of his skull.

if he holds out then that would just show how ignorant our FO is, we had Golden Tate and Taylor Mays on the board and we chose a projected top 5 QB who is gonna demand big money. We should just drafted Tate and let Clausen fall and loose more money. Yea he was BPA, but not a position that we had major need at...all around it was just a dumb pick especially since J.R. is going cheap this year

Kalil was BPA when we didn't have a major need as were Connor amd Stewart. Going BPA is never a dumb move. Even if the pick won't pay off immediately.

I agree, but the talent at positions that we absolutely needed and passed on for clausen was a dumb move. Clausen could be great in the NFL but if Moore continues to play at an all pro level then Clausen will be great for another team, we shoulda drafted around matt moore not to replace him. If we had smitty and tate on the outside and traded up for edwards then moore would have more weapons to help make him great. I just didn't understand the concept of the pick, I was prepared to here tate"s name announced and when clausens name was mentioned it was like a slap in the face to Moore and it didn't help smitty out either.

Well yea cuz their heads were stuck soo far up delhommes ass...moore showed promise with no weapons around him. Imagine if he did have more than one above average or average receiver, he could possibly do great things. That being said Clausen could be the same way, but if all the rookies don't pan out as expected and we throw clausen in there without weapons he could look like delhomme also...Unless Clausen is the next Manning or Brady (who will be elite no matter the receivers/tight ends they have) he could be another bust QB for our team. That's just my realistic opinion. He needs a year to sit out and if moore's play declines from last year at least we will have a high draft pick to address the needs to build around Clausen.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
