Weis does not believe that Clausen is going to be a productive NFL starter. Parcells guys all believe that a QB has to perform at a high level for 3-4 years as a starter in college. Clausen had just one year of that.

Weis likes Jimmy as a person from everything I've heard. But he doesn't think he has the mental makeup to be a true franchise QB. I don't necessarily agree with that, but that's the info I was given.
I don't know what to make of this, whether I'm convinced or not, but I think it would be foolish for me to try to argue the point, since you're working off things you've been told by people who seem to have pretty decent connections.

Thus, I'll defer.

Pioli has stated that there is a compettion at every position....

Except of course the two players that he traded for. Cassle anf Vrabel's jobs are safe.

Thus, investing significant resources in a QB, when Haley believes Croyle is a competent backup, makes little sense.

Us: Screwed.
Don't you think Weis would have asked that during his interview? He should have known from day 1 if he was going to be allowed to get Clausen or not.

You think he's going to ask that in the interview? And even if he did, you think he's going to pass on the job if he's told no?

LMAO

He's going to take the job, because it's a way back into the NFL, and hope he can go to work on Pioli.

So the Chiefs job was the only job offered to Weis?

He had at least one other offer from Chicago... and he had interest by six other teams according to the Chicago Sun times.

Yeah, he was 'desperate'.

I'm sure they were able to speak their minds, but it doesn't mean that Pioli took what they wanted into consideration.

If RAC wanted a nickle CB over a starting ILB or pass rusher, than God help us all.
A very good blitzing nickel corner who is very bright and knows the game, who will match up well with smaller shifty WR's who play the slot like Eddie Royal. A guy who will also give Crennel a few more yards of field position to work with because he is a great returner.

Yeah, you know, I bet Crennel hates that. I am sure he would have much rather had guys that had character concerns, work ethic issues, injury issues, or average talent.... because those were the kind of guys available when Arenas was taken.

Here is the thing. If Weis isn't sold on Cassel, and Pioli is set against acquiring anyone else....then Weis doesn't come here.

He could have went to Chicago at the very least. Granted, they have their QB as well. But, he could have taken this year off. He could have went back to work next year. He is well respected and would have opportunities.
