Clausen article

I understand he has a lot of haters.  But I think everyone should give the man props for class.  Not what we expected from him...makes that even better.

 

He always seems to say the right things and does not try to draw attention to himself.  He may not be a great talent, but I respect him.

Uhhh ... tough to respect a guy who shows up on signing day in a fur coat and a Hummer limo.

 

However, I do respect the fact he tanked our '10 season so we ended up with Cam, blessing in disguise.

I think Clausen has really always had class. He was given the Cam Newton treatment from the beginning, unfortunately for him the media was correct and the real Cam Newton came along.

He will always be serviceable but he doesn't have much to be classless about all things considered. Glad he's a panther but also glad he's only our 3rd string QB.

Honestly, I can't say what type of talent he has because I can't really count that one season.  I know that I can take a hint by him being on third string, but I would still like to believe he has more talent than was displayed when he was on the grand stage.  Moreover, I would think that Clausen has to have learned something from the sidelines (like he said) that would allow him to harness that talent.

 

The story hasn't been completely written on AE, but I wouldn't mind Clausen following a similar track this year.  I wish him well.

BTW, regarding fur coats and hummers, most kids coming to the NFL have to grow up.

In all fairness to him being a third stringer, DA may be the best backup QB in the league.

This idea seems to be a joke around here, but I think there's a glimmer of hope he plays exceptionally well all preseason and we can trade him for a future 7th or some crappy player and knock off 500k in cap space.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
