It's Okay to Draft Jimmy Clausen... And Yes, It Could Happen

You also have to think in terms of job security for the guy in charge of making decisions. As a GM you're still an employee and obviously wanna keep that 5 million dollar salary coming in as long as possible.

It's bad enough that drafting Clausen basically admits Cassell (and Piolis major decision) was a failure, but with high round QBs being a crapshoot what if Clausen comes in and sucks it up too? How much more likely (and rapidly) will that get Peeholi run outta town?

That would be 2 quick fails at QB. Not good for a GM.

Sticking with Cassell buys Pioli at least another 2-3 credible years after this one to try to find another guy, and then another 2 years to evaluate that guy.
