WTF sporting news...

[redsox4441]

They have jimmy clausen going 30th to the VIKINGS?!?!! and Bradford going 1st.... wow...
Bradford played in the spread, Clausen in the pro, Bradford got hit once by BYU and went down, Clausen survived a season of the most sacks in history... Wtf. Prove em' wrong Jimmy

 

[mjbirish]

it's only a mock draft whooooooo cares

 

[sportallyr]

I think Jimmy would be ecstatic if he were drafted by the Vikings. I understand that he'd lose a lot of money if that were to happen (instead of going somewhere in the early teens like most project), but he'd have a clear path to a starting job, a good line, good young wide receivers and one of the best running backs in the league.

 

[phork]

Best place for him imo. He'll lose out on money initially but will have a huge payday if he pans out.

 

[tko]

being in the right situation is critical. i'd rather see him in minnesota then going to a crap organization like buffalo and taking a beatdown.

 

[jakerbluegold]

Could be a lot worse. Oakland. Need I say more?

 

[IrishInFl]

I would be happy to get Jimmy, but we need depth at corner and DT.

 

[D-BOE34]

I would like to see Bradford traded and us grab Jimmy and a 3rd round... by US I am saying STL...

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I'd love to see Jimmy go to the Vikings...

Other teams I'd like for him to go to are the 49ers and Seahawks...
Those are two programs with potential at least.

I DON"T want him to go to the Raiders, Browns, or Bills... That would most likely result in another "brady quinn" story.

No matter the circumstance, I wish Jimmy the best at the next level.

im a viks fan so id love that. but realistically its very possible. a lot of teams have young qbs whom they put a lot of money into such as jamarcus. he struggled over and over then they were like lets get him some more weapons around him, got heyward-bay and louis murphy and they showed flashes. so to go get another qb would be silly. give him another year with some weapons around him then do your analysis on whether its a proven bust or if he may work out.

imo i think buff will take him bc they need a qb bad. they also need players around him. roscoe parrish is debatably a decent receiver. lee evans s good. hardy has been hurt and is young other than that there is no receiving threat. they could also work under the same theory i have for the raiders give trent edwards another year with weapons. go get a good receiver, dez bryant, or demaryius thomas if dez is gone for some reason

Ap isnt to bad when he can hold on to the ball, or not have a minor injury that hampers him, but honestly when has that been? I like jimmy going to the viks, especially if brett comes back another year or two. I cant think of anyone better to learn under in the league, maybe manning or brady, but neither of them have the longevity of brett.

 

[Riddickulous]

The Vikings are a good situation. He has a great supporting cast offensively. Peterson, Sidney Rice (the most underrated wide receiver in the NFL), Harvin, Shiancoe.

haha hed have to buy that number 7 from t-jack or they trade jackson..

Schrager's mock NFL draft: Jimmy Clausen's stock falling - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

uggghhhhh! Pisses me off these writers!

 

[IrishInFl]

Anthony Davis at #8 makes it fail. Don't pay attention to this mock.

 

[KPENN]

I'd actually rather have him fall. He'll get on a better team and be able to sit back and learn the game for a while. Either way i think he'll be alright

 

[Rudy89]

im just gonna read the draft results on the net. As busy as college and work can be for me Ill be dammed if Im gonna spend my day off watching names announced from a podium. Even if Jimmy and Golden are there.

 

[fightinirish68]

his stock is going to drop by default because the teams who need qbs doesnt matter too much who they draft because if no one blocks for them they are going to do terrible regardless

 

[irishmarine]

I still wouldn't be shocked if the redakins trade with someone bit stay in the top 10 and select him. He'd sit behind mcnabb and get pt when Donovan gets hurt a couple times a year. It happens every year and Kyle shannahan really liked him an his workouts. Don't know what will happen but I'm excited as a skins fan. I Mean hell we traded with the rams for carriker an just traded positions in the 5th and 7th round. That's genious! We isn't give up anyone just moved around a little. Love to get Jimmy for our future though but I think most of redakins nation would shit a brick if we don't go oline at four hahaaha

I have said before, and I will say it again, I don't really care which pick Jimmy goes at. I just want him to get a good opportunity. I'm from Green Bay, and so I know that Aaron Rodgers' slide may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

With that being said, this is the worst analysis I have ever seen. Most fifth-graders could probably see how terrible this is:

"Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame Fighting Irish
(62.2 completion percentage, 34 games started)
Clausen is perhaps the most controversial prospect in the draft, and his pro viability has yielded strong opinions from both Mel Kiper and Todd McShay.

Both Kiper and McShay know more about the draft and college players than we do, but our system suggests that the young upstart has got this one down over the legend. Clausen's list of comparable quarterbacks is uninspiring -- notably Rex Grossman (61.0 completion percentage, 31 games started) and Vince Young (61.8 completion percentage, 32 games started). The Young comp seems more promising now than a year ago, but remember that a huge part of Young's success is his ability to run with the football; Clausen isn't bringing that with him to the pro level."


Jimmy Clausen is to Vince Young as John Wooden is to Bill Cowher... not many similarities.

Clausen to the Steelers.......... who are rumored to be shopping Big Ben, this morning.

 

[DaLastFarleyite]

Either Pittsburgh or Minnesota would be ideal situations for JC.
