Have now read 3 legit mocks with Falcs moving up for Clowney

[CarolinaCoolin]

None of us are professionals at this, so should we even discuss our opinions when it comes to decisions made by professional coaches, general managers, scouts, mock draft writers, and players?

I'm sorry if I don't want to hear your uninformed opinion on why a kid you've never met and only seen play a handful of times is a bust and the mentality of that player makes him a bust to you. My bad

I agree. I just expect to see a highly motivated Clowney when he enters the pros. His sophomore year is more indicative of how he projects other then he's faster and stronger now.

I don't think the motivation issues are a realistic problem moving forward for him.

As a Gamecock fan and someone who has watched just about all their games the past 10 years it sucked that he protected himself last year.....but I understand. With the new CBA it's absolutely imperative for a prospect to protect their number 1 status. The difference between what a 1st round guy and a 4th round guy makes his staggering. I don't think it was necessarily lack of motivation or motor. I think it was business.

If he protected himself before he will likely do it again.

I doubt that man.  Under the new cba the second contract is where the money is.  I think he'll come in and play is butt off to earn that second contract.

The expectations have been so high that its 20 sacks or he is a bust.

Houston is a perfect fit. Watt is the best guy to mentor JC and look out from there.

Other teams he would have to carry the d where in Houston he just plays.

The pattern just seems to suggest otherwise. He could do just enough to keep the paychecks coming in. If there has ever been a bigger more obvious example of a guy not giving his all I would be interested to know about it. He cant love the game to do such a thing.

What pattern?  Did he hold out in high school or something?  You think NFL players can govern the level they play easily?    I imagine some player saying to themself...." well I think I'll just play well enough to earn 9 mil this year."

 

You either play well and earn the contract or you don't.

If the Falcons are smart, they would try and see if the Rams would be willing to trade the young stud "Robert Quinn". If I was in need of a pass rusher that badly and is willing to trade high picks, why not go after a productive but still very young guy in Quinn?

 

I believe that Clowney will be a beast, but is work ethic is def a concern. Plus, there's def not a big time leader on that Atl defense other than Sean Weatherspoon to help put Cowney in the correct path.

 

 

The Rams would have to really consider the offer in that they could replace Quinn with Clowney and still take an OT with Atl no.6 pick.
