Pre-Season Will Be Awesome

[Proudiddy]

Instead of years past full of Jeff Lewises, Randy Fasanis, Rod Rutherfords, Brett Basanezes, Chris Weinkes, Josh McCowns, and other useless/hopeless roster fillers, we get to watch entire games knowing each guy playing (except Cantwell) pretty much has a chance to show out and take over the starting spot.

I was already somewhat excited about the youth movement and the changing of the guard from Delhomme to Moore, but to have an actual open QB competition with the amount of talent 1-4 (technically 5 counting Edwards, but he won't be a FT QB apparently) on the depth chart??? It's gonna be exciting to watch.

I've already said I thought Clausen was a dick, but if the guy can play and our team can rally around him to win games, I don't care if he's Andrew Dice Clay with a helmet on, he's the man. I wasn't happy with the pick at first, but I love it now.

I liked Pike and mentioned him as a possibility during the season, I know he's got some questions, but the guy's got game.

I believe in Moore, but I also believe he's not one of Foxy's favorite guys and this may not work out in his favor. If it does, it's b/c he earned it and I know he's capable of being a good FT QB.

Cantwell's got a big arm and showed some glimpses of greatness last preseason. Don't think he's gonna be much more than a career backup though, just too inconsistent.

And I would love to see Edwards back there a few plays a game.

It's going to be fun and I'm confident in whoever wins the job from the pool of talent we have.

Pike has 0 chance to start.

He really needs to build up some strength and NFL smarts.

King no he isn't; nice job trolling.

[Delhommey]

Pike is a project. Clausen is pretty much ready to go.

They done good in that respect.

[Proudiddy]

I know Pike is considered fragile and slight and there are some questions about his mechanics, but I really do think he's gonna be a pleasant surprise, even this year.

It's just gonna be great to see them each get a look and what they bring to the table individually.

Pike's issues were illustrated in the ass stomping Florida put on Cinnci.

He doesn't have great poise/armstrength/leadership.

Cinnci was basically unfazed by his not being on the field this past year.

Like Delhommey says Pike is a long term project pick.

[Kurb]

No, not in the same sense as a Ray Lewis.

But he has had character issues in the past, and has a history of being unpleasant to fans.

Some people want to pretend Clausen is a drop of poison in an otherwise chaste soup.

Ahh I get your point now

Misunderstood ya.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah you guys are right, I guess I'm just saying I like the pick and have hope for him (long-term), but I think Clausen will end up the starter. That's not an indictment on Matt, but I think Fox views this as HIS deal, and I think he's already given it to Clausen as long as he doesn't suck leading up to the season.

Great picks overall for the reasons they were made. I'm still excited to see how we use Edwards as well.

I didn't even mention how fun it will be to see Norwood go up against Anderson and Connor, all three guys have serious game, and they definitely get me hyped a lot more than Diggs did at that spot.

I didn't say Clausen was 'poison' or anything of the like.

Douche/dick maybe, but not poison. I really don't care what he is as long as he wins games. What we know that he is now - the greatest value pick of the draft.

I don't care what the guy does as long as he doesn't embarrass the franchise off the field or get in legal trouble...

And believe me, I've witnessed first-hand Smitty's level of douche-ness... Still my favorite player.

[Grammer]

clausen is as good as hes ever gonna get.
