Jimmy Clausen has met with the Redskins

MonkFan4Life · 04-02-2010, 10:41 AM

"I think the biggest upside that I have, and one of the things that I have over all the quarterbacks in the draft, is I've played in a pro-style offense," Clausen said. "I know how to change protections. I know how to make alerts to get to a better play. Sometimes you call two, three plays in the huddle. You have to know whether [the defense] is in an over front, even front or if they're in an off front. I know how to call the Mike ID every single time. I just know my hot [reads] and my side adjusts. It's just a lot of different things that in different offenses, spread offenses, that you wouldn't see."

Beautiful !

That part of his game is extremely intriguing. If you can read defenses in this league you can be a top tier QB, and apparently thats Clausens strong suit. In fact I'd say that attribute makes him much more attractive then Bradford.

^ The more I think about it, the more I think that we will grab Clausen. I'm not sure that ShanAllen will see the difference between Bradford and Clausen to be worth the price of a trade-up.

This may not be the best comparison but the Clausen vs Bradford seems similar to the Alex Smith/Aaron Rodgers draft. Rodgers was more experienced in a pro style offense in college but the 49ers went with the more accurate and talented quarterback. As of now Rodgers has clearly been the better player. This is the sign that makes me consider clausen.

I don't know what to think of Mayock anymore. I know he has to look at every prospect but just now he questioned Clausen's work ethic and leadership. The leadership I can kind of see though I do think it's slightly overblown. The part that ticked me off was the criticism of his work ethic. The one thing I've constantly heard about Clausen, even from his detractors (Mayock aside) is that he's a film rat and spends a LOT of time watching film. To have that out there and question his work ethic is kind of reckless if you ask me.

Also a funny thing to keep in mind is that if Quinn had been a hit then Clausen would easily have been in the running for first pick in the draft.

THANK YOU!!! That's what I've been saying and he can make the throws and move around in the pocket if need be. This guy could be our Peyton Manning!

If I had to bet the mortgage, I would bet that he is the next Brady Quinn over being the next Peyton Manning.

Come on now...

Just like Aaron Rodgers was the next Joey Harrington or Kyle Boller? Better yet that Peyton Manning was going to be the next Tee Martin? Every player and situation is different. The system they come from can only give you so much of an idea.

Peyton Manning is arguably the greatest QB ever. EVER.

This guy isn't even the highest rated QB in this draft.

Let's be reasonable and take a step backwards.

Alright most likely not Peyton Manning but certainly not the Cleveland version of Brady Quinn (Denver version TBD).
