Re: Clausen Article
Interesting read. I am not a big Clausen fan and I don't really have anything to base this on other than the hatred I have due to the flops we've had at QB here over the years so this article does make you (or me anyway) have some belief in the guy. Sounds like he would be the QB who would transition easiest to the NFL and based upon the o-lines he's played behind etc., sounds like he'd fit right in with the Bills, lol.
With that said, I'm not saying that I think we should take him. I still think NT or LT are the more pressing needs.

Re: Clausen Article
I was talking to a guy this morning and we concluded this guy can go as high as #4 to Washington, be there for Buffalo at #9 and if he gets past Buffalo unless a team traded up for him, he could fall all the way down the draft board all the way down to #30 with the Vikings.

Re: Clausen Article
I've seen that before. Problem is, it doesn't really address most of his problems on the field. Basically it blames everyone around him for any of the team's issues, etc., but doesn't address a lot of the negatives that people like Ingtar have pointed out about Clausen's play itself.
so i looked over a few highlights of Clausen's this year and have come to a few conclusions. 1) he has a long throwing motion, almost as long as Leftwich. It's deliberate and slow, it takes a very long time for the ball to leave his hand from the moment he makes up his mind to throw. 2) he throws with a 3/4 motion. He got"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

If agreement is reached for the 2011 season, then they are lumbered with Russell

Re: Clausen Article
If he fallls to #9 and the Bills pass on him, then they deserve to continue losing for another ten years.
He will be an above average NFL qb and the Bills currently do not even have an average qb on their team.
The off the field stuff is the typical jealous/hater bs that goes with a guy in his position, there have been far worse qb's off the field, one who was the Bills greatest qb ever.
I think the Bills will take him if he gets to #9 and get their ot and nt in the 2nd and 3rd rd's.

You can't win w/o a QB.
An above average QB can win for you in the league. Garbage qb's like the Bills have had since Kelly have you picking in the top-10 every year. Who knows he could be a great qb but if you don't have one he is worth the shot.

Sorry, but with the Bills drafting #9, it's about time they shore up one of the spots on the team with a GREAT talent, not get a QB who is a borderline first round talent at best."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Clausen Article
You can't assume anyone for that matter will be great.
With better coaching maybe Clausen can be a good qb, just because RJ, Losman and Edwards didn't cut it you don't stop trying to find a qb.
I know know you can't win w/o one and i'm pretty confident we don't have that qb on the roster currently.
What we don't need is another outside position like wr, rb, or db at #9.

Again, I'd rather not risk a pick on someone who may or may not become better with coaching. I may be intrigued by Cortez, but I'm not confident enough in this coaching staff to say "yeah, let's draft a borderline first-round talent at 9 and hope he develops.""Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."
