This.
The problem here Metro is that people have this kneejerk reaction to ANY quarterback in the draft at this point because the Chiefs haven't drafted one in the first round. They think that, unlike premier left tackles, who can be found in the sixth round and beyond, franchise level quarterbacks can only be picked in the top of the first round of the draft.
So what if Clausen had 40 less career touchdowns as Brady Quinn in the same system? So what if Clausen is less mobile than Drew Bledsoe at half the size? So what if his arms and hands are smaller than a Lilliputianesque Munchkin?
He's a quarterback. That played in a "pro style" offensive scheme. That's all that matters.
Who cares if guys like Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett and Blaine Gabbert are going to be available in the coming years? As long as we secure a quarterback from one of the two remaining big name schools that run a "pro style" set (Notre Dame - this year only though because who knows what they will be running next year, and USC) is all that matters.
