Watching his highlights now. From what I can see, he looks mobile and accurate. I noticed his Oline don't look so great and that Golden Tate is a bad ass also. Don't see to many deep balls though but he can make some great throws. I don't see nothing that would say 1st rounder though.

If being wrong once precluded you from an opinion, there would be nobody entitled to having one. I would say that a success rate of even 50% on drafted QB would be a good one.

His comments though about Russell were probably as big of a swing and a miss though as you could possibly have.

Very true, but there aren't many first overall picks that rise to that height without having their share of fans. You could take any analyst you wanted to discredit and find a player that sold them and use it advantageously to prove they didn't know anything about talent evaluation. Anybody that projects futures for a living is bound to get fooled eventually especially when life is such a giant variable. On pure skill alone, JaMarcus Russell was the most talented QB to come out since Vick in my opinion. He was blessed with a golden arm and great mobility and he threw it all away for thug life. The most difficult thing for outsiders to gauge is how bad a player wants it, as in success on the football field, compared to how much they want the money. This guy is a walking reminder of that.

I am by no means a huge fan of Terry Bradshaw. I think he's a rube, but he did take more snaps in the NFL than any of us did. He earned his right to have an opinion. And hell, you could tell me your favorite prognosticator and I could go find what he said about JaMarcus or any other draft bust and probably prove the same point that everybody gets fooled at some point.

god damn you guys are vicious. terry bradshaw says that clausen is an average QB (which he is) and you all jump all over his nuts on a 9 page shitfest. wtf

There's waaaaay more than one dumb statement to draw on with Bradshaw.

I find him entertaining to watch, honestly. But objectively speaking, he's dumb as a brick.

Yeah winning NFL MVP, winning 4 SBs, and being SBMVP in 2 of them definitely shows his own "inability to play"

Not sayin' that, Bradshaw wasn't that great when he started in the NFL either, just watch some NFL films. He did get it together with his team in the end. I'm a Bradshaw fan actually, but he wasn't the best at that time. Maybe this will give Jimmy some fire.

Bradshaw needs to be reminded of his own inability back in the day.

Inability? I laugh at thisa

The other day Mushin Muhammad said Roethlisberger wasn't a franchise QB, but again Muahmmad never played with a franchise qb anyway lol.

A franchise Quarterback is a player that can lead the team to and win the super bowl - the perfect definition of Bradshaw and Montana.

Yes his in ability, Because he didnt throw 300 touchdowns?

Sorry I will take a winner over a statistic choker any day.

"My rookie year was a disaster," Bradshaw agrees. "I was totally unprepared for pro football. I had had no schooling on reading defenses. I had never studied the game films the way a quarterback should. I was an outsider who didn't mingle well. The other players looked on me as a Bible-toting Li'l Abner."

Bradshaw was discouraged, but not defeated, and he spent his first off-season plotting his plans for improvement. Fortunately, Steelers coach Chuck Noll still felt Terry was a diamond in the rough. "Terry was always the guy with the talent," Noll said. "There never was a question about that."

Both the Steelers and Bradshaw improved their 1970 records in 1971. Terry started all but one game and, in 1972, paced the Steelers to their first divisional championship in 40 years of NFL competition. In the first-round playoff game against Oakland, Bradshaw etched his name in pro football lore when he launched the "Immaculate Reception" pass to Frenchy Fuqua that caromed to Franco Harris for a last-second 13-7 victory.

"I have had three years now," Bradshaw said in assessing his progress after the season. "One year of frustration, one where I've learned to pass and one of learning how to run. Maybe next year I can learn to do them all together. Then maybe I'll be able to drive them all crazy."

What I meant by back in the day...when he started
