For a 6th round pick (which is like nothing) yes. Seattle will likely gamble on him due to the fact that Carroll likes him, plus Clausen's old buddy Golden Tate is there and Brees is a good example, he didnt leave due to injury (though it helped make the Chargers decision easier), the Chargers had a choice and chose Rivers. the injury just made it easier.

Ok you say Seatlle will likely trade for him now. So if he performs well next year they would have more reason to trade for him. So your argument still fails. If a team is willing to trade for him now, they would want him even more after he performed well.

How is Brees a good example? The chargers had one injured guy and one who wasn't. They offered Brees a contract but he didn't take it and went to NO. How is that even close to our situation?

How is Clausen high priced? He has a four year deal worth 6.3 million with incentives. That isn't even close to high priced

This argument is getting old and i wont try to change your views and i will NOT change mine. the point i was making was that Brees was NOT traded. he was signed as a free agent. i dont see Clausen's trade value improving even if he did have a good season because team's know that Newton is the future and not Cam.

I'm not even sure I want Newton to have Clausen's failure infested #, I'm thinking 5 or 15

i still think Newton should take 13 if he doesnt buy the number 2.

I don't understand how as a fan you are worried that a backup will play well if the starter gets injured. But whatever, we can agree to disagree.

i am worried about QB controversies, people think they are good, but i dont agree. it's best to have one great starter and an average backup, in other words what Denver has. Orton is average and if The Golden Calf of Bristol ever becomes great, then they are set. i am one of the few who think Clausen has potential, just not as a panther.

And why can't Clausen be that average backup?

like i said, i think he has too much potential, PLUS Carolina has gave up on him, they will likely get a vet to be the backup whcih means that Clausen will be the 3rd stringer, WHY does people want to keep him??? i thought people wanted him gone so bad that they payed for his bus ticket out, but like i said, the panthers will sign a vet and he will be named the 2nd QB, which means that Clausen will be the 3rd.

Biggest fear: he takes a # like 5, then after Clausen gets cut, in 2012 he goes to #2 and all of our jerseys are ruined. And dont say wait til 2012 to buy it, I want my jersey now biatches

I would think that would make the 5 jerseys collector items. Or you could buy an old Clausen jersey with the 2 on clearance and sew them on your Newton jersey.;)

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
