Clausen vs Smith

Who ya got?

After all the talk during the week about Smith getting in Jimmy's face on the sidelines last Sunday, I thought it'd be interesting to get people's opinions on who'd actually win in that fight.

Personally, my money is on Clausen. He's a tough bastard.

Clausen is going to be a great QB...But Smith would beat him so hard his momma would feel it.

I've got Smith for 8 catches 140 yards and 2 TDs this weekend against New Orleans

Steve Smith wins by knockout fashion in the first round. It wouldn't even be close.

this shouldn't even be a question

I read an article this morning and they mentioned that Jimmy's physique looked like he was more familiar with twinkies than he was with weight lifting and exercise. So my money would be on Smith who is still pound for pound one of the toughest guys in football. At least in his mind. Funny thing is that I doubt he would be the one to start it. He is over that I think.

Where's that article? All I've read is how he's a machine in the gym.

Oh and Clausen gets nailed by D-linemen and pops back up. I think he could go toe to toe with Smith.

He did get his bell rung hard last game and shook it off. I felt bad for him because his eyes were watering. Hopefully he wont make that mistake again. Safety blitz I think.

Is this really a thread? Smitty would OWN Clausen, but it would never come to that. At the end of the day Smitty is a competitor and I think that Jimmy is too. So I feel that Jimmy couldn't even get mad at Smitty because they both want to win and all Steve was doing was expressing his thoughts on "winning"

I either read it here somewhere or through the observer. They are the only ones I read today. Anyway, someone who has been in the locker room and saw what he looked like. Doesn't mean he isn't tough. Anyone who plays pro football is tough. On the other hand, even marshmellows bounce back when you squish them. Maybe someone else read it too. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit- Found the link

Walk into the locker room Wednesday, and you would not pick Clausen as a leader. He's not a big guy. He does not come across as a fierce guy. His body implies that he spends more time with Little Debbie products than with large, small or intermediate weights.

I'll take the guy with the chip on his shoulder that is a proven facebone-breaker.

Anyone have a video of the confrontation on the sidelines?

You ever try and fight an ostrich? Not easy.

By the title I thought that this was going to be about attitude, so that's what I will address. Smith needs to basically man up and lead by example. He needs to teach instead of preach. Clausen is acting more professional and politically correct about a situation that should have never came up. Every time that I want to believe that Smitty is finally getting it, he does something that bespeaks a lack of maturity and understanding of the dynamics of the development of a rookie QB. Yes, I know that he is as tough a competitor as there has ever been in he league, but every tough competitor doesn't act like an asshole, so basically Smitty needs to channel his frustration towards the guys who actually deserve it, and in a constructive (and private) manner.
