Jimmy Clausen

[RedMage138]

With the Skins trading for McNaab, it's now entirely possible that Clausen takes an Aaron Rodgers type fall down the 2010 NFL draft. If Clausen falls to the late first round, are the Panthers sold enough on Matt Moore to not attempt to trade up to take Clausen?

It's entirely possible he goes to Cleveland or Buffalo, but if neither team takes him, what are the chances Carolina trades up to pick him and how would you feel about it?

[SmootsDaddy89]

I hope he does.

[Khyber53]

Claussen will be in Cleveland.

Jimmy Clausen could not possibly fall far enough for us to make a move for him. I wouldn't be surprised if NE snatched him up and mentor him under brady in case of another injury or just to take his job down the line. Id see Indy do this also Peyton is gettin old but his play hasn't drastically declined yet. Who knows clausen could be a bust but I don't see him fallin past jacksonville or San Fran.

First of all there is no way he falls past Cleveland and Buffalo, one of them will trade up and make their second pick Clausen... second HELL NO I DONT WANT THAT ARROGANT SOB ON OUR TEAM

Really, lets look at some other QBs who slid down the draft in recent years.

2004 NFL Draft:

-Cleveland passed on Ben Roethlisberger for Kelly Holcomb and Jeff Garcia (drafted Kellen Winslow Jr.)

-Washington passed on Roethlisberger for Patrick Ramsey and Mark Brunell

2005 NFL Draft:

-Miami passed on Aaron Rodgers for Gus Frerotte

-Cleveland passed on Rodgers for Trent Dilfer and Charlie Frye (round 3)

-Chicago passed on Rodgers for Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton (round 4)

-Tampa Bay passed on Rodgers for Chris Simms and Brian Griese

-Tennessee passed on Rodgers for Steve McNair (32 years old)

-Detroit passed on Rodgers for Joey Harrington

-New Orleans passed on Rodgers for Aaron Brooks

-Kansas City passed up on Rodgers for Trent Green (35 years old)

-Houston passed on Rodgers for David Carr

-Oakland passed on Rodgers for Kerry Collins (32 years old) and Andrew Walter (round 3)

2006 NFL Draft:

-Oakland passed on Jay Cutler for Andrew Walter and Aaron Brooks (if they took Cutler, then they can pass on Jamarcus Russell for Calvin Johnson the next season - just saying)

-Buffalo passed on Jay Cutler for J.P. Losman

-Detroit passed on Jay Cutler for Jon Kitna (34 years old)

-Baltimore didn't trade up for Jay Cutler because of Steve McNair (33 years old) and Kyle Boller

-Cleveland didn't trade up for Jay Cutler because of Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson

-St. Louis didn't trade up for Jay Cutler after Marc Bulger's mediocre 2005 season

-Minnesota didn't trade up for Jay Cutler because of Brad Johnson (38 years old) and Tarvaris Jackson (2nd round)

2009 NFL Draft:

-St. Louis passed on Mark Sanchez for Marc Bulger + cap space

-Seattle passed on Sanchez for Matt Hasselbeck (34 years old) + cap space

-Cleveland passed on Sanchez for Derek Anderson at No. 5 overall (hated Brady Quinn)

-Buffalo passed on Josh Freeman for Trent Edwards then drafted Aaron Maybin at No. 11

-Cleveland passed on Freeman for Derek Anderson at No. 17 overall (hated Brady Quinn)

Cleveland has a history of passing on talented QBs in favor of the guys they have on the roster.

I don't see Clausen falling that far in the draft.... even if he did I am not for drafting him. I would like to see what Moore does this season before we go get a franchise QB. We may all ready have him on our team, if so we need to make other positions stronger.

If he fails, I am sure we will be drafting early in the 2011 draft... then we can take a QB.

May be arrogant but he his potential is ridiculous.

[mmmbeans]

cleveland had a history of doing really stupid stuff... which is why they hired mike holmgren.

[holderoftruth]

he will be picked in the top ten

[thefuzz]

Don't like him off the field...from the reports mind you....but would love to have him to sit for a year or two.

This kinda reminds me of Marino in the fact that everyone knew that he was going to be really good in the pros, but word came out about his ability to lead, and the fact that he may have smoked pot in school....

This seems pretty similar.
