"What makes you think you are ready?"

"Coach Weiss says so"

Really? Good lord.

Then he throws his receiver under the bus in the next question.

Also, watch his body language. He looks like a highschooler interviewing for a mcdonalds job. Can't sit still, poor posture, figity.

This guy has all the physical tools, but has a ton of growing up to do. A senior year would have done him well me thinks.

I was under the same impression during the original thread that it got brought up. I just really didn't like how he carried himself in the interview.

If he puts up the types of numbers he did his junior year at ND then for all I care he could have pooped in his hand, thrown his feces at gruden, then asked him to watch a marathon of Twilight movies and gotten matching tattoos of a nude, reclining Delhomme in a silk robe on their chests.

does he have a party reputation? Could be Kerry Collins v.2.0

Comes across as the anti-The Golden Calf of Bristol(and anti-Delhomme) almost

have to give him a chance though, could turn out to be a steal.

Anything anti-The Golden Calf of Bristol is ok in my book.

"I am a virgin and I dont believe in abortion. I am a warrior of God and I have a huge head."

I am a Christian myself, but damn The Golden Calf of Bristol. Chill out, live a little. You stuck up douche. Denver screwed themselves royally on the pick. Glad they passed on Clausen in hinds sight though.

I love how a persons beliefs are reason to attack them.

When Gruden started to tell him where he was screwing up he picked up a pen and took notes.

He's still a kid, and he's going to do and say stupid things. All of them do, even Manning (who's NEVER thrown a teammate under the bus, right?). But if he can learn and grow, and if he turns into the gym rat and film geek he suggested he wants to be, then we got a steal.

Moore is going to play well in 2010, I believe that. And maybe in 2011 as well. I sure hope he does. And I hope Clausen develops at the same time. Getting great play out of the QB position along with possible picks for the other guy someday would be great for all of us.

I'm really excited by the possibility. :)

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
