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 was also resigned to the fact that if we didn't take Clausen, we didn't want Clausen... As a fan...and a fan of the big bang picks like Clausen...I certainly wanted to hear his name at #36... When it didn't happen, it became quite clear to me we NEVER wanted him. and you know what? I GOT OVER IT... and now I'm excited to see what McCluster and Arenas (and the others) will bring to this team... |

and you guys are so dumb to think Charlie Weis is going to throw his guy under the bus...
You really think he's going to say to John Fox..."man, don't take him...he's this, this and this!" That would never happen in a million years...he might have told Scott Pioli 10 things that he'd never tell anyone else about the kid... Even after he got fired...it was still his job to get his players into the NFL...that doesn't mean he wants them on the Chiefs... Everyone was on the same page about Clausen being passed at 36...a lot of people, myself included, said if we passed on him it was clear that we didn't know something that everyone else seems to know... He was passed on 47 times... Clearly he wasn't the prospect we thought he was...and clearly the people who "study" the draft on this site don't really study anything...they just cherrypick their ****ing information like I've been saying for years. I bet OTWP watched maybe two Ole Miss games last year...tops. TOPS. |

I happen to be a Notre Dame fan.....so I'm going to watch Clausen's career.
And I'll bring it up because we happened to have a chance at drafting him...and we didn't. |

so as a fantasy football fan...every time Jahvid Best scores a TD for the Lions, I'm going to bring it up...because we had a chance at drafting him. Same goes with every other player that amounts to something in the NFL after pick 36... !!! SAME GOES FOR ALL OF THOSE UDFA WE PASSED ON! HOW DID WE PASS ON SOME OF THOSE GUYS!! THAT'S CRAZY! WHAT WERE WE THINKING! GOD DAMN! WHY? WHY? |

I am personally interested in knowing why a GM and coach who constantly talk about the benefits of competition at every position, haven't brought in any competition at the QB spot.

we lost this draft as soon as we didn't sign Tony Washington as a UDFA!
That's some bullshit right there... What were we thinking! I just can't believe we could pass up on a talent like that...**** this character bullshit! WE NEED GUYS WHO CAN PLAY! |

I'm a Notre Dame fan. If you're a Cal fan and you want to follow Jahvid Best....then go ahead. I'll follow Jimmy Clausen's career....just like I'll follow Sam Young, Golden Tate and Eric Olsen. |
