Bradshaw rips Clausen's throwing

How many times are we going to hear "Clausen didn't win games at a big college with a weak schedule."

For fug's sake, it's a team sport, the guy carried his team on his back for two years.

As for the shoulder motion. He may have a point, but I don't think it's something that'll hinder him.

JaMarcus Russell, my man. The Raiders finally get their big arm. And he's a good kid, strong kid, smart kid. He'll be a big-time player. If I'm the Raiders, that's who I pick. That's pretty easy.

Watching Jimmy Clausen's highlights brings to mind a few things. He seems to have decent mobility, and can throw well on the run. Very accurate with short and medium passes. But his long ball is suspect. Still doesn't show how well he can handle the pressure though. Of course, watching a few highlight reels doesn't tell the whole story.

Also, Golden Tate looks pretty good.

Watch the tape, he has a defensive player in his face all day. That O-line at Notre Dame was trash.

As for the deep ball - it's not the best BUT Tate has come out and said that Clausen always put the ball where he could catch it AND Clausen couldn't step into his throws last year (two torn ligaments in his toe) which contributed to his lack of a deep ball. Or at least I'm hoping so.

To be honest though I have never seen a WR make a QB better. I have seen a QB make a WR look better though. If Tate was doing good then Clausen was doing the right things as well. With that said I think Matt Moore has just as much talent as Clausen and maybe a better deep ball.

I like Bradshaw because he's a goofy idiot that makes me laugh with his stupid banter. But as for his opinion...I couldn't care less. This media hate for Clausen is one of the many reasons I hope he's the 2nd coming. All these media big mouths will have to eat crow.

1. Bradshaw is an ass clown.

2. Here's what Mike Mayock said about Clausen and I'll take Mayock's opinion over Bradshaw any day of the week:

“Clausen can make all the NFL throws, and what I think hurt him are the intangibles,” Mayock offered. “In my opinion, and I can’t underscore this enough, I think he’s a top-10 player [in talent]. Down the road in a couple of years, we’re going to find out. I think he’s NFL-ready. He’s going to compete with Matt Moore immediately.”
