Yas: Clausen here to stay, maybe no Luck

I would get what Yas was pushing if Clausen had shown anything at all to this point. Rookie mistakes are to be expected, but..

Decent arm? No.

Quick release? No.

Pocket presence? No.

Leadership? No.

Decision making? No.

Productivity? No.

Clausen is literally the most awkward looking QB I've ever seen in an NFL game. Add to that the fact that Clausen isn't a high pick. He's a mid-second rounder with a reasonable contract on a team that craps the bed in the second round on a pretty reliable basis. Lastly, our team is already in draft mode. I don't believe one word from our FO in regards to the draft.

I still don't see us passing on Luck IF he declares and IF we're in position to grab him.

All this nonsense chatter about the Panthers taking Luck amuses me, especially since none of us has any clue who our next head coach is going to be.

Someone will have to explain to us why it would be reasonably likely that Richardson would agree with what would amount to failure in the 2010 draft, and then approve of hiring a head coach that wanted to take yet another QB in the 2011 draft. Especially since our offensive line has permitted more sacks than 30 other teams. How can any coach, much less a fan, shout out a confident evaluation of our rookie quarterbacks when they all performed equally poor behind exceptionally inadequate protection?

Secondly, even a bad offensive line is going to have the element of surprise from time to time if the offensive plays are not obvious to opposing defenses, but they are.

The CBA will govern all of it. If the cap returns lower, there will be free agents available, and we will have an active free agency which totally changes the draft depending on which veteran is available. If the cap returns higher, then there will be less free agents available, and we'll have more problems to address with rookies. In this case, it seems to me that we'd address our worst positions: DT or OG

You can't name one DT worthy of the #1 pick. You MIGHT be able to argue for Fairley or Dareus around 4 or 5, but only because of what a shitty draft it is for DT.

If anyone drafts a G in the top 15 they deserve to lose their franchise.

The "lol trade down" talk amuses me. The fans of every team say the same thing year in and year out and it almost never happens because, between the amount of picks plus the huge contract, it's very rarely worth it to move up. If we're so determined to do so that we don't get top value, Hurney has fans screaming even more about what a fuging idiot he is regarding draft day trades.

As for the "we'd never give up on a early pick" nonsense.. Shelton, Jarrett, Ellison, Irvin. All were early picks that either we didn't play or we parted with quickly because they sucked. No one is saying we have to execute Clausen on the 50 yard line or cut him the second we bring in more talent at QB. He just wouldn't be playing unless he proved he has the ability.

As for the "how can you tell blah blah QB when the OL sucks", name two positives about Clausen's game that give you hope for the future. Is it the way he pisses himself and runs screaming .6 seconds after the snap? The noodle arm? The decision to lob it into row C on 3rd down when his first read isn't open? His amazing 1 TD pass this season? The awe-inspiring leadership as he stares into the middle distance and doesn't interact with anyone on the sideline? His low delivery? Maybe his windup whenever he has to throw deep?

With the QB talent in our division, I'm sure we'll be ok pinning our hopes on "BUT MAYBE HE'LL TURN OUT DECENT ALL WE NEED IS A GAME MANAGER LOL".

Here's the conversation that should take place if we get the number one pick and Luck comes out:

JR:Sit Down

MH:Okay.

JR: So who are you taking with the first overall pick in the draft?

MH: We'll were gonna consider our options...

JR: You're fired. Get the fug out of my office.

If the answer does not begin with Andrew and end with Luck. Then Hurney should be fired. It is not a matter of debate but one of acceptance.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
