Apparently Clausen is dropping because of concerns about his upside. He doesn't have top-end arm strength, and they think he's a finished product.

Maybe I'm crazy, but arm strength has never seemed to correlate with success in the NFL.

Carolina must be [expletive] their pants. They got a QB who many rated as the top QB of the class with their first draft pick at 48th overall.

They were the only team who called the Rams about pick 33? That's hard to believe.

Has anybody mentioned how WTF that little dance routine they show the draftees doing is?

How would he throw interceptions in a workout? It was against air, and throwing to his own receivers with scouts watching. He never worked out before that because of his toe.
I'm pretty sure his last workout was like the 10th and he completed 57 of 59 or something, overthrowing two deep balls.
Exactly. That was his one and only workout, and it was against air, throwing to his own WR's.

There's no way he threw interceptions at any point since the season, so I'm not sure what Soc is talking about.
the interception stuff was on the QB camp with Gruden that was shown on SportsCenter. Gruden showed him a couple of picks from his time at ND to illustrate mistakes and Clausen pretty much threw his young receivers under the bus by claiming he threw it where he was supposed to but the receivers ran the wrong routes. Not many people liked that.

Thank you.


Heard a few reports the last couple of days saying that he's pretty much a jerk. Not a likeable guy.

Jimmy was probably flustered because he'd seen the Tebow edition and figured Gruden would teabag him like he did Timmy.

670 had a story or 2 today about how he's not a very likeable guy. Apparently there's something wrong with him, unless you think all of those teams passed on him because Gruden likes Tebow.

And unlike what transpired before the Rams chose Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick, the Rams actually got bona fide offers for their second-round pick, No. 33 overall.

According to league sources, the Rams received offers from Baltimore at No. 43 overall, Carolina at No. 48, and Cincinnati at No. 54.

“But the offers were for (bleep),” said one source, particularly given how far down the interested trade partners were in Round 2.

So the Rams decided to hold their ground and selected Indiana University offensive tackle Rodger Saffold.

I'm a Panthers and ND fan, so I'm pretty much the happiest guy on the planet right now.
