Fox says Clausen will start next week...(if healthy)

Normally I'd agree, but Clausen was drafted with a 2nd round pick, not a first. His salary isn't such that it'd cause a huge cap hit - assuming there's a cap - and the next coach might not be as tied to him as the current one (especially if it's Harbaugh).

Throw in that there's a West Coast Offense team pretty likely to be in the market for a young QB next season.

But do you actually think the numbers could work out that a trade would actually happen? I agree his contract is something another team would be willing to absorb but there's no way the compensation could work out.

Depends on how demanding we are. With the #1 pick in the fold, they might be willing to part with Clausen for a 3rd or lower.

Mind you, the team could draft Luck and still keep Clausen. They could also trade - or simply cut - Pike in favor of a vet backup.

Without knowing who the coach will be next year there are just too many variables to think with any confidence that Clausen could be trade bait. Regardless of the system the new coach wants to put in place I just don't see any possibility of the numbers working out for both sides. This is of course barring any kind of ridiculous decision by either us or another team.

Hurney was a pretty big fan of Brad Hoover and Jake Delhomme too.

We've cut dratf picks as high as third rounders in the same year they were drafted.

I honestly think that trading Clausen is crazier than your guess that Fox would start BSP again.

It's simply not going to happen.

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
