Jimmy Clausen has met with the Redskins

Clausen is a lot different than Cutler coming out. Cutler was a LOT more polished, even at football-starved Vanderbilt, stronger arm, quicker decisions, etc. Clausen is a lot wiser of a passer, but his skills more unrefined. A 28/4 TD-INT rate is not something Cutler would or could have gotten anywhere near had he played at Notre Dame. Cutler is more of a chain-mover, keep firing, throw 50 times a game type. Clausen will probably lean on a running game.

On a pass-to-pass basis, Clausen is probably a better investment than Cutler was, but Cutler's tools and 4,000 yard ability are what made him so intriguing to teams last offseason (and made his obvious flaws ignorable). Bradford is much closer to Cutler than Clausen is (though I am not sure I would say Bradford compares favorably -- I might).

Very interesting point man. I have never been a fan of Cutler's QB skills. Clausen on the other hand I can see becoming quite a good QB with a balanced game, like you said.

So back to the comment about Clausen and Bradford being worked out on the same day...... I presume DS, MS, KS, and whoever else wants to go will be flying around to visit two QB's and give them a work out?

Replace DS with BA. Most likely DS will only meet them at Redskin Park, though he may go as well.

Anyhow, I guess that's how they'd do it. Still, I can't believe they're on the same day. Maybe they had no choice?

Norman in the morning, South Bend in the afternoon? Now there's a heck of a day. I wonder what they are serving for lunch on Redskin One?

I don't agree at all with you that Clausen's skills are unrefined. What I see in Clausen is a player with good footwork, a quick release, a good feel for and ability to avoid pass rushers while finding room to throw, good accuracy, good touch on the ball when needed, the ability to make all types of throws, and more. I think he'll be ready to start in the NFL sooner than any other QB in this draft.

This feels a lot like Phillip Rivers when he came out. Awkward 3/4 release, brash personality, late climb on the draft boards. The only difference is that Rivers was more accomplished when he came out. Bottom line though is that if Mike and Kyle like him I will welcome him with open arms if then well it doesn't matter because they won't draft him.

In looking at everything though I feel that Clausen is a much better prospect then Cutler. Cutler had a lot of physical tools but limited production. Clausen on the other hand has some nice physical tools and much better production. Still my opinion right now is dependent on what our coaches think of him.

His release is nearly identical to that of Kurt Warner. Check out some video on the two of them and I think you'll agree with me.

Can there possibly be some one who agrees with me on going after Clausen? Wow amazing

Like I said before it depends on what the Shanahans think. Personally my eyes like Clausen on film but I'm not a scout, just an above average fan.

I still have a feeling the Redskins are going to make a pre-draft move to get Bradford. I could see us sending Rocky McIntosh, Fred Davis, swap firsts this year, and possibly our first in 2011 to move up to take Bradford. The Rams would then take Clausen at four. I know most on this board will be livid with such a move but Shanahan and Allen are very bold and have the guts to go and get their man. Also, Bradford will not sign a pre-draft deal with the Rams which indicates he doesn't want to be a part of a team with no owner, poor fan attendance, and a dreadful team. This could become a John Elway or Eli Manning deal.

Yeah, part of me says that Jimmy Clausen is a better choice and to stick with some of our guys who have trade value. The other part says we're missing out on a future superstar quarterback in Bradford. Again it wouldn't surprise me also if we end up taking a guy like Okung?

Who else is excited for Jimmy Clausen's pro day? Let's hope he answers all the questions and helps us make a clear decision.

I feel like Bradford is on the hype machine, every year it is some guy. How can every year produce a next great QB?

Look at last year would you rather have had Sanchez or Stafford now after their first year?
