Awesomeness!!

Zod, I gotta be honest, these "cute" little remarks your making about Jimmy being only 3rd string, are getting, well, tiresome.

You know as well as anyone else here Clausen is gonna be 2nd on the depth chart before long.

Not trying to cook your goose, just saying.

Well if he knows as well as anyone else then you, likewise, don't know as much as anyone else. The truth of the matter is that until the depth chart is actually changed know one knows anything. All you really are doing is speculating, you in fact have no facts about the if, when and how of the situation until it actually happens. The only fact that we do know right now is that right NOW Clausen is 3rd string.

Why OH why do people think I give a sh1t what they think??

What makes you think anyone here gives two squirts of piss what you think?

You should've kept this stupid "thought" of yours, where it belongs.

Inside your head.

Noone wants this nonsense taking a piss on our forum.

If Moore is good enough and looks like a QB that is going to win some playoff games for us then great...we trade Clausen like the Falcons traded Matt Schaub. However, if Moore sucks or is Jake Delhomme 2.0 and is mediocre then we have a guy with a GREAT pedigree sitting behind him that we can give a chance. There are PLENTY of examples of QB battles that have turned out positive for teams...

San Diego (Brees and Rivers)

Patriots (Bledsoe and Brady)

Cardinals (Warner and Leinart)

The list goes on. The similarity between all of those cases is that the best player played (except in the case of SD where they were so even that who cares?)

I can see it happening with Moore/Clausen. Clausen was considered a top 10 talent, some claimed the best qb of the '09 draft, but dropped due to attitude problems. Moore was undrafted. The people that put where a player was drafted above everything else may get antsy.

Only Fox/Richardson can control whether it turns into a true Quinn/Anderson type situation though. I don't see them switching qbs on a regular basis. If Moore continues to show potential... the job is his. If fan opinion mattered they wouldn't have left Delhomme out there for 11 games last season. They would have saved him from himself.

I agree that the best player should win the job.

Another think I found interesting it that many here have annointed Clausen because he should have been a first rounder who dropped to the second round due to attitude concerns, yet Hardy and LaFell are not being talked about the same way. Hardy was considered a lock for a first rounder when he was SEC player of the year after his sophomore season. LaFell was considered a sure high first rounder at the end of his junior year.

I know we have high hopes for both Hardy and LaFell but I don't see folks going around saying Hardy should play instead of Charles Johnson or Brayton. We are glad LaFell is getting some playing time with the 1s but there is not nearly the outcry to start them and typically it is much easier for a WR or DE to perform their rookie year compared to a quarterback.

Seems a pretty big double standard going on here.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
