MARCH 23 UPDATE: If you haven't seen it yet, here's our exclusive Jimmy Clausen interview and an article called Jimmy Clausen is an Alien Wizard, which discusses why the hatred and bias against Clausen is completely unfounded.

MARCH 16 UPDATE: Ever since the Colts had the league change the contact rules, the NFL has become a pass-first, quarterback-driven league. Nine of the 12 quarterbacks who made the playoffs were chosen with the No. 33 overall pick or earlier, and the three exceptions were Kurt Warner, Tom Brady and Tony Romo. To win consistently in the NFL, you need a franchise quarterback.

This is why the New Regimes Mean New Quarterbacks belief is more paramount than ever. Does Mike Shanahan see Jason Campbell as his quarterback of the future? I don't think so; though Campbell hasn't had much help in Washington, he's been inconsistent and pretty mediocre. He's also a poor fit for Shanahan's offense. Even if the Redskins tender Campbell and keep him for a year - which will probably happen - there's a good chance this selection will be used on a signal-caller.

Unlike Campbell, Jimmy Clausen is a good fit in Shanahan's offense. Clausen has been accused by biased media members of being arrogant. Jay Cutler was another arrogant quarterback, and that didn't stop Shanahan from drafting him back in 2006. Meanwhile, Daniel Snyder loves big names, and would undoubtedly sign off on Clausen.

For more, Matt listed five reasons why the Redskins won't pass on Jimmy Clausen.
