Parcells QB Formula: Clausen > Newton

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

For the record I have no opinion on this what so ever. I just found this both funny and interesting. I Personally had to look up Clausen's stats to find out how he compared to this years draft class, and if you think about it, if he came out this year he would have a "yes" to just about everything (7/7).

Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame:

Three-year starter? Yes (3)

Senior? No

Graduate? No

30 games? Yes (36, + Hawaii Bowl, Totals to 37)

23 wins? No (16)

2-to-1 ratio? Yes (60-to-27)

Above 60 percent? Yes (61.7%)

Total: 4/7

Cam Newton, Auburn:

Three-year starter? No (1)

Senior? No

Graduate? No

30 games? No (16)

23 wins? No (14)

2-to-1 ratio? Yes (30-to-7)

Above 60 percent? Yes (65.4%)

Total: 2/7

Oh, and just so we are clear I'm not endorsing Clausen. I'm not a big fan of any QB on the roster and any QB in this draft class.

The man provided the stats, you make up your mind on what they mean.

Personally I think it shows that theres no full proof way of predicting how good/bad a QB will be.

You mean the same Bill Parcells who passed on Jim Kelly and Dan Marino in the '83 draft and chose Drew Bledsoe with the # 1 overall pick in '93?

Bledsoe wasn't bad at all but I get your point.

I still have hope in clausen. The formula could work for us yet!

Bledsoe has a SB ring, Marino and Kelly do not.

Bledsoe has a SB ring, Marino and Kelly do not.

The head athletic trainer on the '01 Pats has that same SB ring, and he had more to do with the win than Bledsoe did, LOL

If it wasn't for Bledsoe the Pats would have never been in the SB.

Brady helped the Patriots beat Oakland in the playoffs. But he sprained his ankle in the AFC championship game last week, and Bledsoe came on to bring New England back to New Orleans.

But, when the ankle healed, coach Bill Belichick went back to Brady.

Bledsoe had a cannon arm, he was just a statue in the pocket. I mean taken at face value the pick made sense considering the other QBs in that draft. Like Rick Mirer was the second pick off the board overall.
