We wouldn't have to pay that $920K RB though. We'd sign him to a brand new contract.

I agree. I remember a lot of fans liking him and thinking he would turn out pretty good. I wonder what happened? was it the coaching change? or the system. I wouldn't mind kicking the tires. He can't be any worse then Crompton.... can he?

Some QBs just dont develop

DeAngelo Williams was hurt most of the year as well as J. Stewart andSteve Smith missed a couple of games. Add that to the fact that the OL didn't block well, and neither Olsen nor Shockey were on the team at the time of his rookie year. Not sure I would blame his "development" soley on Jimmy Clausen.

They didn't win only 2 games because JC played poorly.

I wouldn't write him off just yet, he's only entering his 3rd year, he's worth a look

[SmootSmack]

Told you Clausen was going to be available.

That said, Derek Anderson is a FA and it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that the Panthers let both go and bring back Clausen at a lower price.

But I doubt that happens. I thin Clausen is on another roster next year. Most speculate it would be the Broncos because of the John Fox connection

Two reasons: One, he kinda looks like him, two I have this habit of fusing peoples names together. Ryan Clark, Clark Kent, Ryan Tannehill. Ergo Ryan "Clark Kent" Tannehill.

I think I would like to have Clausen as one of our 3 QB's next year. Still young and has not had much of an opportunity yet.

[skinsfaninok]

I agree but if your getting cut after what 2 seasons? Thats bad

I get the sense that this is a smoke screen (as the picture indicates).

Guess you beat me to it.

[MTK]

I'd have no problem with Weeden. But at this point anything is possible.

[los panda]

if i'm being honest with myself, if we draft a qb, i'm going to focus on his pros and forget his flaws in order to convince myself that he will lead us to the top shelf

[GTripp0012]

Of all the rookie quarterbacks, Weeden is by far the one most likely to be drafted by the Redskins.

I don't think he's their first choice though, but if choices one and two are off the board at 6th overall, then sure.
