It goes back to the way people move the uprights. There are about a million and a half threads about how the only way to get a franchise QB is in the first round. If that's the case, then Clausen doesn't fit that mold and we would have wasted a 2nd round pick on a career backup. Lumping Clausen into the "potential franchise QB" category is very liberally stretching what I thought most people on this board were saying pretty clearly about the importance of first round QBs. |

Eh, I'd rather take my chances with Brodie than Matt Cassel as of this point.

I'm pretty sure I referred to both as insurance. Hell, they had no contingency plan whatsoever. Draft, FA, scrap heap, nothing. Which tells me they don't think Cassel is the problem. |

And becuase of that, I am afraid that they may continue to go forward in 2011 with Cassel, contract be damned.....

I get that Clausen couldn't be a whole lot worse than Cassel. But the goal isn't to get better than Cassel. The goal is to come as close to a franchise QB as we can get. |

They messed up not picking Sanchez. I also understand why they are not saying anything negative about Cassel or even mentioning Brodie. They don't want a QB controversy because once that happens the season is lost and your locker room is fractured. |
