Any names come to mind?

Alex Smith

Alex Smith can not play under center. They tried, and Singeltary said f*ck it and instituted the spread offense because the guy is hopeless under center. Alex Smith is very inefficient at reading defenses and getting rid of the ball quickly whenever he's blitzed. Clausen on the other hand, the kid is money when it comes making quick decisions whenever he's under pressure, and he's deadly accurate on short, medium, and deep range passes. He's also has the deep-out patterns mastered.

He's going to be our QB, everyone should just start getting use to it. However, I like it that our base isn't going gaga over him, that way when he comes to Washington he'll have to earn the respect of his team and the fanbase.

Vinnie (Look-inna-my-eyes) Cerrato has a new title: Count!


Count Look-inna-my-eyes!

He's in the Clausen corner.

As if this is any news, and of any real value.

Vinny's not a bad talent evaluator. The thing is that he's horrible at putting a team together. Everything from a culture that overpayed outsiders, failed to hold players accountable, and a coaching staff that was hand tied by players circumventing their authority. Then the propensity to overdraft skilled players it's no wonder this team was such a mess. It was a miracle that Gibbs was able to put together two winning seasons. However from a scout perspective I feel Cerrato is decent.

Agreed.
