Jimmy Clausen has met with the Redskins

CultBrennan59 · 03-29-2010, 04:50 PM

I wonder if vinny has a lot of influence on the redskins with Clausen; I wonder if he's calling DS saying "This is my guy he's going to be a great QB" when he really wants this franchise to suck, as you've seen through his free agency hires and drafts.

If we pick Clausen, it will have nothing to do with VC. I wouldn't say he's persona non-grata in Redskins Park, but he's got no say.

I seen quite a few ND games and i think this guy is a franchise qb. I know you have a lot of people that don't like him. However, he's mobile, accurate in and outside of the pocket, good arm strength, and makes good decisions. If we drafted him at 4, I wouldn't be mad at all.

At first I was against Clausen. I kept hearing how Bradford was far and away better then Clausen. I kept hearing how Bradford has the most accurate arm and the best strength. I heard how the next most accurate QB is McCoy.

The way I saw it we have JC, and Grossman who have strong arms. Their just not accurate. Who knows what we have in Colt he can't stay healthy enough to find out and then there is Bartel.

Recently though I've heard and read how Clausen is climbing the board and has looked accurate and looks to have the arm strength. I'm not a homer. So whoever MS and KS feels would be best to run their offense would be satisfactory with me. I'm just not feeling the Tebow is our guy mancrush. Sorry.

This feels a lot like Phillip Rivers when he came out. Awkward 3/4 release, brash personality, late climb on the draft boards. The only difference is that Rivers was more accomplished when he came out. Bottom line though is that if Mike and Kyle like him I will welcome him with open arms if then well it doesn't matter because they won't draft him.

In looking at everything though I feel that Clausen is a much better prospect then Cutler. Cutler had a lot of physical tools but limited production. Clausen on the other hand has some nice physical tools and much better production. Still my opinion right now is dependent on what our coaches think of him.

His release is nearly identical to that of Kurt Warner. Check out some video on the two of them and I think you'll agree with me.

I agree with most of you guys with this. Allen and Shanny will not tell anyone what they're doing. I'm sure you guys have already noticed how much attention Sam Bradford is getting? Well just wait till Jimmy Clausen goes and throws just as well, We have the prefect situation in this draft if you asked me. The lions will not take Okung because they had the worst defense in the league, they'll take Suh or Mccoy and the bucs will take what's left. We'll be able to chose from A) Russel Okung B) Jimmy Clausen C) Eric Berry and every one of those positions would help our team out. Don't be surprised if we trade some players to get a second round pick (Rogers, Rocky, Andre, etc.) and go all out on offensive linemen in the second round to compliment our 37th already.
Basically my point is weither it's Jimmy Clausen or Russell Okung our team has improved and probably more with a pick like Clausen. A guy who will do whatever it takes to play as successful as he did in college and give our team an arrogant QB to get into some teams heads. Let's only hope that these guys don't bust like 60% of them do. I can barely wait for April 22nd!

So this is interesting...the Redskins are apparently holding private workouts with Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen...on the same day. April 15th. I must have my info crossed up, because I can't imagine they'd hold them on the same day. But that's the info I have now

Let me ask this... PFT reported back when the Rams were supposedly having Clausen in for a work out that the NFL prohibits any work outs by draftee's unless its at the draftee's college, or hometown. So basically if this is true then all the Skins can do is talk football to see what knowledge they have, see if they would be interested in playing for the Skins, and give them a physical. Is this correct? or can the team actually put them through some throws?

Right, so on April 15th the Redskins are going to Norman, Oklahoma where they will work out Bradford

Tomorrow, Eric Berry is coming to Redskins Park where they will basically just conduct a job interview with him.

So back to the comment about Clausen and Bradford being worked out on the same day...... I presume DS, MS, KS, and whoever else wants to go will be flying around to visit two QB's and give them a work out?

Replace DS with BA. Most likely DS will only meet them at Redskin Park, though he may go as well.

Anyhow, I guess that's how they'd do it. Still, I can't believe they're on the same day. Maybe they had no choice?

Norman in the morning, South Bend in the afternoon? Now there's a heck of a day. I wonder what they are serving for lunch on Redskin One?

That WOULD be very interesting. Could be a good way to compare their talent and competitiveness with a little pressure on them.

Has Shanahan or Allen been quoted as saying they love Clausen? I just keep hearing people say this but never a quote or factual comment. Just a rumor or is it real?
