Clausen was projected as a potential first-round pick but several teams backed away citing concerns about ego, selfishness and leadership qualities.

"Some of the stuff with Jimmy goes back to high school and some of these guys get smoke blown up them and they think they are young and famous,'' Fox said. "Now they get here and it's rich, young and famous , that's a recipe for disaster. I spend more time with that kind of stuff than X's and O's. I'm not the lone ranger in this league in that. I look forward to Sunday's, to the games. That three hours makes up for all of the other crap.

"I don't see that being the case with Jimmy. I'm really excited to watch him play. He's got a good head on his shoulders.''

weis said that.

i got no problem with a qb having an ego, sounds like maybe him and smitty are made for each other. this team needs an attitude, and if jimmy brings it...then so be it. maybe he will be a troy aikman instead of a jeff george. it's been a while since ryan leaf, maybe the yang just took a little long to get around the sun this time.

hmmm...it looks like jimmy doesn't have any of the supposed attitude problems that were advertised. hopefully all the talent is as advertised. we could really be on to something special if it is.

at the very least it seems fox has partook in the koolaid.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
