If a QB needy team thought Clausen was going to be a franchise QB...they would have traded up to take him...they would have taken him before pick 48...
If anyone thought he was a franchise QB in the making, he would have been taken...
Here:
Last year, Pat White went #44 overall...signed a 4 year, $4.5M contract.
At #48, Darcel McBath signed a 4 year, $3.85M contract.
Kerry Collins signed a 2 year, $15M contract last season...
Sage Rosenfels, the Vikings #3 QB, signed a 3 year, $9M contract last season...
The Panthers used their #48 pick on their projected backup QB and will have to pay him less than any veteran backup QB in the NFL...
So if ANY TEAM that had a need at QB thought he was a franchise QB, they would have taken him AS SOON AS HE STARTED FALLING...
Like Aaron Rodgers...because he became a low risk/high reward type player...
Which means the fact he fell to #48 is as telling as it can get...
That means every NFL team that had any type of need at QB felt like even with a low risk like $4M dollars...it wasn't worth it...because they don't think he'll develop.
IS THAT A TOUGH CONCEPT FOR YOU IDIOTS TO UNDERSTAND?
