Trade Clausen to the Colts

If you can believe it, they have worse QB's than the Panthers. Peyton Manning had neck surgery in May and hasn't played at all in the preseason and might not be ready for the start of the regular season.

It's clear the Colts have no replacement for Manning for when he retires or otherwise. Clausen is young and still impressionable, why not let him learn under one of the greatest QB's ever? We should at the very least get a second rounder for him, or perhaps grab a DT or CB in the process....

Just a thought. Here's an article about the Colts owner sniffing around in Hattiesburg looking for Brett Favre.

teams that want a player, come calling. not the other way around.

No he faced the Giants 1st team defense and threw a touchdown to Olsen.

okay, so Clausen made a poor throw and Olsen caught it for a TD. Clausen has proven before he can occassionally hit a TE for a random TD.....

what's new about that....

I dunno... he looked off and threw a catchable ball (obviously). If Clausen doesn't set up that throw it's getting picked in double coverage.

You can say mechanically it could have been thrown better but all in all that TD was just as much Clausen as Olsen.

Cam would have been picked because he ain't looking off for a looong time.

Can't claim Cam would have been picked......not going argue it. Cam can clearly throw in smaller windows than Clausen when he is on his game.

Cam's throw into the endzone that was broken up was a more impressive throw if you are just evaluating throws in the redzone. You aren't gonna have a man in coverage making that play most of the time. Clausen can't make that throw.

Jeez stop crying, Clausen made a good throw on that play and put the ball where Olsen had the best chance to catch it. He went through progressions on the play, the ball more left or right of Olsen would most likely be incomplete or picked off.

people already forgetting QB was our weakest link on this team for a while?

Clausen's not a great player, but he has been improving. So has Cam. I'd like to think if we had a chance to not only have a player we can mold into a starter but good depth behind him we should not fug with it.

Find another way to get a DT/CB/whateverdefensivepositionyou'reobsessingoverthisweek
