Kiper (via way of Teicher) talks Clausen to KC...

It’s worth considering but . . .

It’s not likely to happen. Still, the tie between Charlie Weis and his former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, is a strong one. It’s strong enough that it’s fair to raise the question: Would the Chiefs, with Weis now running their offense, draft Clausen?

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper raised the question himself today when I asked him about the players the Chiefs might reasonably consider (more on this later in the Kansas City Star and on kansascity.com) with their top draft pick, which is fifth.

“Charlie Weis is in Kansas City and Jimmy Clausen (will be) there at five. Do they take Clausen and deal Cassel to Denver, say? There’s always going to be talk about that if Clausen is there because Charlie Weis is a huge Jimmy Clausen fan, as everybody knows.’’

As I mentioned earlier, don’t count on it. The Chiefs have too much invested in Matt Cassel to go in another direction now. They also appear to like Brodie Croyle too much to go for Clausen or any other quarterback in an early round.

But because of Clausen’s past with Weis, the possibility might be slim but it can’t be ignored.

The Patriots went to the Super Bowl because of their defense, Brady was just a game manager back then. Are you saying Trent Dilfer, Rex Grossman, and Brad Johnson are franchise QB's too?

Do you get tired of pulling shit from your ass? The Pats were 6th in points that year.

Drew Bledsoe played less than 3 quarters in the playoffs yet threw as many postseason TD passes as Brady that season. Let's not pretend that this was cut and dried.

Good for them, they were also 22 in passing bundle of sticks. Which you know, I think passing is what your QB does and 22 out of 31 isn't great.

The leading rusher had what 1,100 yards? Brady was close to 64% and 18 TDs in 14 games with little experience.

I believe that was the first time using bundle of sticks.
