How does this clown keep his job? I mainly watched the NFL channel last night, because I think they do a better job. However, every time I turned it over to ESPN, he was whining about his boy Jimmy Cluassen. Come on dude, is it the fact that you can't stand being wrong, or is the fact that you are best buds with Claussen's agent? Your non-stop whining and botching reeks of an agenda.

By the way, he is just pointing out how bad these guys are at their job. Mel isnt wrong, Clausen would have been the best qb in the draft if MN would have taken him. He still will play longer than Bradford. Spread offense and Brittle body. No off. line spells doom in STL.

I agree with you. I have found it comical at times when, say, the Eagles moved up in the 1st and they proclaimed that Earl Thomas was off the board, talking about him for five minutes only to find out their pick was Brandon Graham. But still, is there anyone here who thought it wouldn't be Thomas, given their need for a safety?

But with Clausen, I am on point with him. Not that I think Clausen's the next coming of Montana, but way too many teams passed on him. I'd say right now he's better than Brady Quinn was coming out of ND, and Quinn went 20+ picks ahead of him. Several publications had him rated extremely high (one of my favorites - The Draft Bible, had him as the 11th best player in the draft). There was no way Carolina could have imagined him being there at that pick, and because of their O-Line, with Kalil et. all, he will have a much better chance of succeeding than Bradford, who could be on his back every other play.

Got to disagree here Clausen is alot like Quinn, putting up great numbers against their shitty schedule. Sorry but i think Clasen has bust written all over him.

Claussen is a better player than Quinn. He wasn't the #1 recruit in that nation coming out of high school for no reason.

But... he's too arrogant, and will probably not be willing to put in the time to succeed in the NFL. Unlike Quinn... who just wasn't good enough.
