Will This Cause Claiborne To Fall?

[ClarkCam]

Who cares.... If he is there at 9 and he can produce on the football field.... But damn is that low haha.

When Claiborne came out of high school, the schools that recruited him knew he had a learning disability. I don’t know much about his disability other than it has to do with reading. Everyone I have talked to tells me that Claiborne has great character and is a great kid. He knows and understands his disability and uses all the resources that LSU has available to control it and to help him get by in the classroom. When it comes to football he puts in extra time to learn and understand his assignments and it is not a problem. Will he need reps? Probably, but no more than the usual rookie would need. In saying that, Claiborne’s test score was NOT a true indicator of his intelligence. He can and does learn.

Seeing people on the Huddle laugh at this poor test performance is pretty funny. Every thread, people can't get "their", "there", and "they're" correct for goodness sakes. God forbid we talk about the dreaded "to" and "too" or other middle school grammar lessons.

This makes me wonder what Bruce Campbell made on the test.

On a side note, didn't Alex Smith make something like a perfect score? Just says that book smarts don't necessarily equal football smarts.

People are over reacting. A corner is an instinct position. Not a thinking position. You react. This wasn't a problem for him while he returned touchdowns and Intercepted QB's through out his career at LSU.

This is a non-issue: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/What-you-should-know-about-Claibornes-test-score.html

This test is designed to see how you think under pressure. If Mo has a learning disability this test is like asking a guy with a speech impediment to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. I'm sure there is much less pressure on him on a football field than in a classroom.

I believe people are born as a Tabula Rasa. If Mo had been raised under different circumstances perhaps he would have finished middle of the pack in testing. I for one don't feel bad for him. I feel bad for the people he grew up with that didn't have a physical gift that could earn them money.

My grammar is poor. I don't understand it, I don't see the need for it. However I work as a civil engineer and have no problems in my field of work. Mo's field of work is football and he's an amazing prospect.

Let's hope so.

Non issue. CBs are asked to do only a handful of things.

Also, if this does make him fall out of the top 5 picks, If this somehow makes him drop to us, what's the problem? I don't see a problem at all. If anything that might light a fire under him and make him work much harder to prove the bucs wrong every chance he gets, that goes for every team that passed on him. I certainly hope this makes him drop, because we'd be laughing our asses off at the fact that they passed on him for THIS and we get the best CB tandem in the NFC south. I'd cream my pants and not care what the rest of the draft looks like. Well I would care but I'd be in such a state of euphoria that I wouldn't pay attention to the rest of the draft.

So yes, let this make him drop to us. Please. :D
