Jimmy Clausen

Not worth the #7 pick.

Rather pick up Pike or LeFevour in the 3rd or 4th round.

your post only proves you are 100% clueless

Why the attitude, are you a family member of Clausen's or his agent? Do you always get this defensive when somebody disagrees with you?

+1. Before you call somebody clueless Buckeye, you had better back up your argument with something more substantial than name-calling.

Guys have posted scouting reports on this thread, ND homers are leery of him, so no problem. Wrong BIG PROBLEM. Clausen's W-L record is mediocre against a schedule that's not exactly up to SEC standards, another huge Red Flag.

Mopaji is dead on- if a guy throws deep balls that hang in the air- in the college game you can get away with it. In the pros CB are a tad more attentive and quick- those passes will get knocked down or intercepted.

i know alot of people hate him because he didnt play up to his potential but yet NBC/ESPN still sucked his nuts but outside his deep ball staying in the Air too long i dont see why he wouldnt make a great NFL QB
he's got the arm strength, he got the accuracy and touch, he has a high football IQ

yes we have other needs but its hard to win the SB (very rarley does it happen) with out a good QB and i just have this feeling like its going to be hard to pass on clausen if he is still around when we pick

Thanks for the idea Buckeye but I'm not really that impressed at the #7 spot overall. I can't really pinpoit what it is I dislike specifically maybe the flutterballs people refer to as touch passes. Those become disasters in the land of faster closing speeds.

I WILL say on this kid's behalf, he showed me tremendous improvement enough to say he's a good college QB. It's unfortunate for him that ND is bringing in another new system of offense; because I think I might feel differently about this kid if he had 1 more year to sharpen his skills and imperfections. I guess I don't blame him for declaring early with Tate and Weis leaving and a new offense coming.
