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.''

I'm going to throw out my anti-spread QB stance and jump squarely on the "I'm an MU homer and want Gabbert if he declares" bandwagon.

Ya know the only thing that sucks for the Jimmy in Carolina?
He has the same quarterbacks coach that ruined Clevelands quarterback position (and notably the last quarterback to come from ND Brady Quinn) |

Cardinals: Think that Leinert and Derek Anderson are better options. Redskins: Weren't willing to trade up/down to get him. 49ers: Would rather go with Alex Smith Broncos: Ummmmm we'll take Tebow Raiders: Went with Gradkowski and a QB who they picked up for an 11th rounder in 2019 Vikings: Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels...seriously? Let the record show that I wanted us to take Clausen at 2b. That said, some of the arguments here make no sense. The Chiefs have more invested in Cassel than most of the teams on his list do in their QBs. We gave up the 35th(?) pick in the draft and paid the guy $15,000,000, and people expect us to draft Clausen with the 36th pick, but those same people are saying that other teams passed on him because they are already invested in their current QBs. It makes no sense. Let's put it this way: If Bradford had not been drafted #1, how many of those 19 teams would have picked him in the 1st round?

I cannot believe people here ever thought there was chance in living hell they drafting Clausen. Nobody. NOBODY has ever reported or indicated that.
