You don't let a potential franchise QB slip to pick #48...
at pick #48...he becomes a ZERO risk draft pick for the Panthers...if he works out...AMAZING pick...if he doesn't? Oh well...doesn't hurt long term, doesn't hurt short team...doesn't hurt at all...
That doesn't paint any sort of a picture to you?
As soon as the 2nd round hit...and he slipped past the halfway point...that should have painted a pretty clear picture for all Clausen fans...

You keep acting as if 31 teams passed on him.
How many teams needed a QB? Less than 6?
Hell, we thought WE needed a QB. But Pioli passed, even though Weis said Clausen was the best he ever had.
You've got it stuck in your head that he fell because of a lack of talent.
Why did Aaron Rodgers fall?
It wasn't for a lack of talent. Not every team either:
a) Needs a QB
b) Is willing to part with a high draft pick when they have greater needs.
If Scott Pioli can claim that we have no need, and he believes in Cassel, why is it an indictment on Clausen that teams like Buffalo and Cleveland did the same?
