Fox says Clausen will start next week...(if healthy)

[natty]

Normally I'd agree, but Clausen was drafted with a 2nd round pick, not a first. His salary isn't such that it'd cause a huge cap hit - assuming there's a cap - and the next coach might not be as tied to him as the current one (especially if it's Harbaugh).

Throw in that there's a West Coast Offense team pretty likely to be in the market for a young QB next season.

But do you actually think the numbers could work out that a trade would actually happen? I agree his contract is something another team would be willing to absorb but there's no way the compensation could work out.

Depends on how demanding we are. With the #1 pick in the fold, they might be willing to part with Clausen for a 3rd or lower.

Mind you, the team could draft Luck and still keep Clausen. They could also trade - or simply cut - Pike in favor of a vet backup.

Without knowing who the coach will be next year there are just too many variables to think with any confidence that Clausen could be trade bait. Regardless of the system the new coach wants to put in place I just don't see any possibility of the numbers working out for both sides. This is of course barring any kind of ridiculous decision by either us or another team.

IF Hurney is still here, one of the keys to getting the HC job would be the ability and desire to work with Jimmy.

Hurney drafted Jimmy and I still think that the org is pretty high on him.

[Mr. Scot]

Hurney was a pretty big fan of Brad Hoover and Jake Delhomme too.

We've cut draft picks as high as third rounders in the same year they were drafted.

I honestly think that trading Clausen is crazier than your guess that Fox would start BSP again.

It's simply not going to happen.

Not saying it will. Saying it could.

If Jim Harbaugh is the next head coach, the odds go up.
