clausen still part of "long term plan"...wait what?

[Happy Panther]

You mean they aren't gonna scream bloody murder and overreact and cut him?

He could be cut next year. Certainly within the realm of possibility.

[AceMan]

Great! Give him the Armanti treatment!

[mav1234]

make him play WR..?

[CatMan72]

LOL @ people ready to give up on Clausen after his rookie season.

[SOJA]

with luck staying in school, we have to do this. I hope we get McNabb

[Lumps]

who cares? Juimmy is cheap and still hasn't had a fair shot. Sit him on the bench we have him for pennies for 4 years, it is possible to get better and if he does it'd be better to be on our team than another. Even if you don't want him to start it would be stupid to let him go, once Moore leaves there won't be much left. One thing we know is Jimmy sucked under Fox. Because Fox is so well known for his awesome attention to Qbs, god forbid they be a rookie as well.

Why would you want McNabb when the HC just said that we will be running a vertical passing game? None of these long time WCO guys ever do very well in a vertical passing system.

[Jangler]

Why? Are we gonna go to the WCO?

[Mr. Scot]

People are definitely getting way too caught up in the phrase "long term".

As others have said, they'll give Clausen a shot to prove he can be the guy this year, but they'll also bring in a veteran capable of starting just in case he proves less than worthy.

I don't get the consternation. To me, that's a wise plan.

What do people want us to do? Take the Gruden approach and bring in six guys hoping one of them pans out? :nonod:

[mav1234]

I say we draft every quarterback we can in every draft until we find that franchise guy!! It's the most important position by far, so why not!?

Yep.

The OC we've got has pretty much zero experience in a West Coast system. He's a student of Norv Turner, who was a student of Ernie Zampese, who was a student of Don Coryell.

That's the style we're playing, but minus the John Fox "I'd rather call my worst run than pass" mentality.

Isn't that what every team does? Play a veteran while you try to develop a young, franchise QB. It's not like franchise QBs are walking around on the street with a sign around their neck. You try someone for a couple of years, if he doesn't work out you try the next guy.

It's not a bad plan at all if the new coaching staff believes that JC can be that franchise QB. Personally, I think he will be about average in a year or two, and I've had about enough of average.

We just fired our HC because everybody was tired of average.

Let him sit on the bench and smoke some weed.
