Jimmy Clausen has met with the Redskins

I am no Claussen fan, but he really does take too much criticism, most of it seems unwarranted. Every interview I have seen and heard with him has been impressive, and in no way shows any faults in his personality. He was a unanimous Captain of the team, and most of his criticisms have come from anonymous teammates, reporters, and scouts. It appears to me that there were a few bad apples on his Notre Dame team, and he is taking the heat for all of them.
I do prefer Bradford myself, but Claussen is gaining my respect for how he is handling this onslaught of negative perceptions. I am finding it easier to root for him the more he gets pounded on.

Agreed. My only problem though with Clausens interviews is hearing virtually the exact same laundry list everytime. Although it's pretty obvious that he's being asked the same questions time and time again. I personally really like him as a QB prospect but at the same time it's really hard to project these guys. Kind of like Butler making it to the finals. Still having a coach like Shanahan really helps your chances of getting a hit and the craziest part is that Kyle might be better right now then his father in that regard.

He might not be a Manning, but I hate the way ppl blow shit up like this. Painting him in this horrible light without first hand knowledge of him not being a good leader, right before the draft. We have never heard anything but positives about his work ethic previously. I think Mayock and McShay are fickle assholes who need to shut up, and report on facts and their opinions of talent, not saying that they are definitively a bad leader and have a questionable work ethic without a name or some proof to back it up.. Shit, my anonymous source told me that Jared Gaither is retiring to become a professional chess player and follow his dream of becoming a spinal surgeon...... This is a talented quarterbacks/young mans shot at life, dont try to fuck it up for him just to get a 2 minute spot on NFL network by revving up the rumor mill.

mcShay and mayock, you guys are just pathetic.
