Weiss told Fox to take Clausen
 

It's water under the bridge, but interesting nonetheless:

In doing pre-draft research, not that he thought he'd have a chance to get Clausen, Fox talked to Charlie Weis, his good friend and the former Irish coach. Weis and Fox are close. Fox is sure Weis wouldn't lie to him. "Charlie said he's probably the best he's ever had,'' Fox said. "He said, 'Take this guy. Trust me.' Everyone I talked to, including a couple of people at Notre Dame, said the character issue was b.s. So we picked him.''

But he's a douchebag and will never amount to shit! /CP

God these Notre Dame players are ****ing assholes.

And people will still believe that Weis didn't want him, and that Pioli really does listen to his coaching staff.

**** it.

Good luck to the kid. He landed in a pretty good situation. The only real concern is the possibility of a coaching change next year.

It's going to be painful watching Jimmy have success for the Panthers... but ehh... it's in the past....

Hooray Matt Cassel.....

I don't think a coaching change will affect Clausen that much. He's not high priced and won't cost the new regime anything to keep around.

No it shows they would rather end up in a good place where they can win as opposed to going to some shitty ass organization and spending half of your short lived NFL career losing.

Dude, jiggle the batteries in your sarcasm meter.

That's exactly his point.

Bull. It's a consolation prize after falling out of the big bucks in the first round.

What's going to be really fun is comparing Cassel and Clausen for the next 4-5 years.




Oh and I'm sure now someone will tell me to go become a Panther's fan.....

Don't forget Sanchez too, just watch when Cassel fails this season Weis will be so frustrated because it will be his "his" pick for the QB crop this year when he could've had his boy.

and if Colt McCoy ends up being a franchise QB we can all talk about how we passed on him, too...

Just like when we passed on Tom Brady in 2000...

I swear to God...he was #1 on my big board that year...had him pegged as a HOF'er!

:rolleyes:

And Hootie comes in with his normal assinine comments.

Hootie before the draft:

Eric Berry and Jimmy Clausen would be 100% win!

Hootie after the draft:

McCluster is Wes Welker and Arenas is Devin Hester! Clausen is a bust!

just like Sanchez last year...

It's time to get the **** over it!

Holy shit you guys are ****ing babies...like seriously.

It's sickening.

I promise...we're not going to spend 1st and 2nd round picks on QB's every year. It's not going to happen.

GET
OVER
IT

****!
