I'm thinking that we should consider Clausen in the 1st.

Ok, in all seriousness, what do you mean by "too big a splash"?

The Leinart comparison doesn't hold up well b/c here is a QB that was drafted by another regime and then didn't function as well in a downfield passing offense.

Ironically, we've already acquired our Leinart, a QB who doesn't fit the system. Now we need to look for our Warner.

And I don't think there's such a thing as too big of an investment when we're talking about getting a legit franchise QB, assuming Pioli would believe Clausen could become this.
