Clausen disscusion here

[KillerKat]

If this lowered Moore's confidence, he has no business being an NFL QB. Right now I am pissed, but if they trade up to take a WR I'd feel much better.

SMH

If receivers get taken before we go out, Im ripping them a new one

[Jackofalltrades]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Epic Fail! 

I also see this as good for Moore. As its his job as starter to lose, having a young guy chomping at the bit and on his heels from day one, he will have to get that Fox work ethic that hes reportedly been missing in order to keep his starting job for long. This move has the potential of turning Moore into a franchise quarterback imo.

After downing another beer and calming down, I'm still fuging mad, but meh

at least we didn't trade any future picks.

steve smith just punched john fox in the nose. man ... if this board hadn't given all of us an opportunity to cool off .... i'd have said something i regretted. how do you not go wide receiver? unbelievable. hope fox and hurney have fun at their next jobs 'cause they are done. going for depth over a starting need? pffffffffffft. pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. pfffffffffffft. everyone in the nfc south is laughing their fat round **** off at us.

Im not gonna lie, I like the pick. Clausen has the skill to beat out Matt Moore for the job. Moore needs to step up and that should make him a better QB. However you look at it, we have two young QB and dont have to think about that position for awhile.

Always can trade one as well. Look what Matt Schaub got the Falcons in return.

We have everything a young QB could want. Great young oline, good running game and one of the best WR. Moore or Clausen can lead this team to a Super Bowl, i truely believe that.

Yo, is that you CSOL? I agree with you.

[Pumpkin King]

A waste.

We could've easily solved all (well, offensively) our problems signing a veteran QB behind Moore, while getting a top WR in the draft to help Smith.

But no. Now we have two relatively young, inexperienced QBs competing for the spot this season, while one of the best receivers in the NFL will continue to get double and triple covered.

Now, we could still get a valuable WR in the third. Who knows. Though I think it'll be wasted on a d-lineman.

I am absolutely shocked, but not disappointed. This is our first QB since Kerry Collins

[Future of the Funchise]

Let the mass suicides begin.

[Azteca]

Clausen is a good pick, but we already had a good qb. i guess theyre hoping Clausen is a GREAT qb. maybe a great qb can do alot more with this offense such as integrate Jarrett, assuming he doesnt suck again this year, Kenny Moore, maybe some goodson in the slot and gary barnidge and we already know what steve smith can do and now we focus defense? DT? another pass rusher opposite Brown?

[mr beauxjangles]

you may not like it and i may not like it now, but picking up jimmy clausen at #48 is an unbelievably good pick for a team with QB as one of a few key needs.

[88 Bronco]

because you enjoy the intoxicating aroma of sharpies

[tarheelblue89]

Wanted Tate but a great steal and pick. Hopefully Jimmy can use Smitty like he used Tate.

Ha, Jimmy to Smitty for 6, I like it!!!!!!!!
