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.''

Hahaha... Only one of the three are paid like a franchise QB, and that's Cassel... Other than Aaron Rodgers...name a late 1st round pick that has gone to a Pro Bowl in the last 10 years. |

Never underestimate the size of a person's ego when they shell out alot of cash to a QB who's his "guy".

I didn't name the Lions either...or the Jets...now did I? I did name two teams comparable to the Chiefs who took late 1st round QB's... What's the difference between the Ravens, who took a QB in the 1st two years ago who played sporadic, at best last year...and the Chiefs...who traded an early 2nd for a QB and then paid him $60M??? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? None. So... You are a dumb****... Case closed yet? |

Isn't that a similar scenario to what the Packers did in 2005? The Patriots had the picks to draft, develop, and cheaply pay a QB that who these guys are talking about as a franchise level QB... you would have been disappointed with that pick? |

God that hurts just to read. Tell me you're not arguing that they can't be franchise guys because they don't get paid enough...

So the Jets, Lions and Rams have franchise QB's, and the Ravens and Bucs don't.
Interesting logic. |

The Packers took Aaron Rodgers in 2005 because Brett Favre was pulling his usual retire/don't retire bullshit. They had no one to back him up and Rodgers happened to fall to them. But since 24 other teams passed on him....he's not a Franchise QB....right?
