QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign

[SmootSmack]

Well I'm not saying we're going to sign him, but I am saying what I've already told you. We've got an eye on this situation and would definitely be interested in bringing him to compete

Who?

I'll take Manning or Orton and a drafted prospect over Clausen...just never liked the guy as an NFL caliber QB.

Who does Carolina have behind Clausen? What incentive do they actually have to get rid of him?

Somewhere, Vinny Cerrato is rubbing his hands furiously together while letting out a cackling cry of glee.

Ugh... I guess this is somewhat of a vindication of Vinny Cerrato if we end up picking up Clausen. That sucks. Though, I guess Vinny felt Clausen could be a starting caliber player right out of the gate. Shanny and Kyle seem to understand that Clausen is purely backup grade material.

The fact he wasn't even activated for a single game last year speaks volumes really. That said, I think Mike/Kyle will kick the tires on many QBs. Hell, they even brought JaMarcus Fail in for a spin. Ugghhh.

Stuck down here in Panthers territory, I saw Clausen more than anyone would ever want to see him, except perhaps his mother. He seems to lack some of the basic skills required to play QB in the NFL. Does not read the def well, does not seem to see the obvious, slow delivery, not very good on the deep ball, does not have escapability from the pocket, and does not have field presence (just does not look confident). Rex wins competition against him, hands down. Clausen is really closer to Beck than Grossman.
