Sure he was injured and not on the field.<br /><br />But if championships are all that matter, then Drew Bledsoe is clearly better than Jim Kelly and, in fact, is technically more efficient (one superbowl ring for zero personal effort) than lots of winning QB's. If winning a superbowl is the only thing that makes you a great qb, then surely it is reasonable to conclude that you must be an even greater qb to win a superbowl without even lifting a finger. Right?post festumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739727524742573286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145157522252864603.post-60056310699752374572010-03-23T19:12:54.910-07:002010-03-23T19:12:54.910-07:00Clausen always reminds me Sting in David Lynch'...Clausen always reminds me Sting in David Lynch's DUNE. Silly hair and snarl and all...<br /><br />And there is no doubt that he is even being talked about as worthy of a Top Ten pick this year because of the weak QB class. <br /><br />In fact, his stock really seems to be dropping of late, with Holmgren going so far as saying he "wished he liked him more." Tell me, when does a team with a low draft pick ever slam any potential Top Ten pick? They always always talk about how great everyone is just in case doing so might motivate a possible trade. So, this kind of straight shooting might mean that Clausen falls past Washington and Seattle and Cleveland...<br /><br />http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/The_Trenches/entry/view/60189/trenches_talk_holmgren_gives_clausen_thumbs-down<br /><br />In fact, it might be becoming more likely that he is on the board when the Bills pick at 9. And right now I find it hard to believe they will feel they can pass on him unless they have tremendous doubts.

I'm not sure of the relevancy of his prep-career record and his college record is mediocre, to put it kindly. <br /><br />I know people will say that he worked in a Pro-style system under Weis, so he won't have much trouble making the transition to the NFL game. However, (a) if Weis was running a pro-style offense, it certainly wasn't a successful one and (b) I think if you do see it as a positive, then the problem becomes he has already kind of reached his potential. Not much room for growth there.<br /><br />I've also heard rumors about his willingness to work hard. Say what you want about Tebow--who might have the worst mechanics of any successful QB in the college game ever--at least he's willing to work his ass off. He did enough on his own in five weeks to make some people reconsider what he'd be able to accomplish in the NFL. I just don't think Clausen has the ability or drive to work that hard to improving himself. <br /><br />If he does get drafted this high, he'll be a bigger bust than last ND QB has been so far.Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916307381291161829noreply@blogger.com
