New Coach = New QB

[Squirrel]

Look at the history of the NFL and most Head Coaches want to bring in their own QB. So dont be surprised if Clausen isnt starting next season. Sure he will be on the team just not starting.

[The Saltman]

Honestly, if that means more wins I dont give a ***. Because right now clausen isn't ready to be a starting QB.

[CLTPanther]

Well if that's the case, I assume we are going to draft a QB in the 1st.

[Guild]

It will probably depend more on which coach we bring in. If we promote from within (still a possibility but dear god I hope not) we may very well be looking at Clausen starting again.

Veteran QB. No big name but can manage a team.

Shaun Hill in Detroit

Orton

Vick will also be available.

[The Saltman]

Kyle Orton is killing it this year and I bet you money even with The Golden Calf of Bristol waiting in the wings he will be the starting qb for a while.

[stopncrank]

Yeah im thinking we need to wait and see who the new coach is before we crown anybody the franchise QB. You never know what offense will be installed, not to mention if ANY of our current QB's will fit into it....

[CLTPanther]

If the new coach is installing an offense of mediocrity, then we're all set

[Cyberjag]

A lot will depend on the offense the new coach wants to run. If it's a WCO guy, don't count Clausen out. If it's another guy with a "throw it long or throw it behind the line of scrimmage" playbook, then I can see a veteran signing.

if you are suggesting that The Golden Calf of Bristol:puke:should play here :puke:

[CatMan72]

Depends, new coach may think he can work with Clausen... but I'd also expect to see a new coach bring in a vet QB as insurance.

huh? reading comprehension FTL.

[Ruff]

I've thought the same thing.

I've also been wondering what Kansas City would give up for Clausen? Weis loves Clausen, and isn't too keen on Matt Cassel. Could we possibly get some value out of Clausen after this season is over?

FMA my bad, it seemed like you were saying Orton was staying, so we should look at The Golden Calf of Bristol.
