We are not taking a QB in the first round
 

Just the official thread stating it. I'm not sure why some of you are already blowing this horn.

Just keep reading the title of this thread until it ****ing sinks in.

And I'm not even a Cassel fan, but he's going to be given more than 1 season to show he is or is not the guy.

I know all the bullshit arguments that will come forth.

"He's not a rookie, he's a seasoned vet" blah blah ****ing blah. I don't give a shit. I'm talking about reality. They gave him 60 mil. Even if Cassel never improves on this season (which I actually think he will, even if I'm not a fan), GM's don't admit to failures that quickly. Pioli will give him every chance to prove that he's right. He drafted him, he signed him to a 60 million dollar contract. Those of you you think that Pioli is going to turn right around and draft a QB with our first pick are ****ing morons. Yes, you are. It's ENTIRELY out of the question so please stop wasting discussion time with it.

Thank you and have a nice new years day.

But I have no patience...

You're right. I could also see Pioli spending the rest of his career trying to prove he can catch lightning in a bottle by getting another 6th round HOF'er.

Wait! We're not trading up to 1 to take Clausen?:banghead:ROFL

What if Charlie Weis becomes our OC?

They didn't give him $60mil...He got something like $28mil and a contract worth $60mil. Big difference. After 2010 we can kick him to the curb if we wish. LOL I'm not on the Clausen bandwagon really but I don't think it would be totally out of the question if Pioli and his scouts think Clausen is truely a franchise QB for us to pick him.

I agree, especially when we have other major holes

I like Clausen too. He comes from a pro system.

Do you guys think they'll just cut Cassel or have him compete with Clausen?

still, no.

If they draft Clausen, I think Cassel is the QB next year until at least Thanksgiving or so. Then depending how the team is doing would dictate who finishes the year out under center.

Cassel cant compete with Clausen,but thats a battle we wont have to worry about seeing.

Our hope is that someone else covets a QB and is stupid enough to trade up for our pick so that we can add another 2nd round pick.

Based on what? Weis knows both QB's. If he wants Clausen over Cassel... :shrug:

Just saying man. If Weis comes on board I wouldn't rule Clausen out.
