lol Thanx for posting the vid Smootsmack. Yea, i noticed that with Bradford too. Everything seems like a lob ball wit absolutely NO zip. But Adam Schefter said that Bradford has put on a good 15 lbs to fill out his frame more and Mel Kiper says he has an underrated arm. Clausen looks like he's workin behind the 2009 Redskins Offensive line so that is actually a nod to him. Made more plays than JC did this year. On the other hand, Jimmy Clausen could DEF be the next Ryan Leaf :-( Tell me yu can't picture him flippin out on a reporter lol. Also Clausen's delivery looks verrrrryyyyy similarrrrrrrr to like Colt Brennans. Now draft insiders ATE Colt alive for that. how come no1 is mentioning it for Clausen? I would like to know Shanahan's opinion of Brennan as well. He likes a QB with a quick release and is mobile in the pocket, not sayin he should start or anythin of CULT status but if we keep Campbell, sign a vet (jeff garcia?) and draft a QB @ #4 or later round, there will clearly be no room for him :-(

Per the highlights:
Bradford has solid pocket presence. He moves away from pressure naturally. He's relatively accurate. The problem I see is a very, very weak arm for the NFL. While his release is fairly quick watch each pass closely. Very little velocity and often a sloppy spiral. Shanny had Elway for all that time, slinging the pigskin like nobody else could, and everybody knows that kind of ability allows a guy to do things weak-armed QBs just can't do. I would be shocked, truly shocked if Shanny drafts Bradford.
Clausen has a pretty strong arm to be sure. I don't see anything phenomenal though. Is he really much of an upgrade over JC? I really doubt it. And at 4th overall trading mediocrity for mediocrity is just bad management.
What position can we (likely) upgrade the most at 4? LT is obvious IMO. We've got a serviceable vet on the decline in Jones and absolutely nothing to back him up.
You put it better than I could Goat. I agree 100%.

I think that this guy would be great for not just Hasletts defense but Danny Smiths special teams.

Neither Clausen or Bradford is worth taking at 4... or even 10 as far as i'm concerned. Hopefully we wont draft a QB just for the sake of drafting a QB. Neither Clausen or Bradford look dramatically better than the QB we already have. I recognize that we need to find a franchise QB, but reaching and drafting one way too high is not the way to do it.

Grimm is likely going to be a SS, the one position we might be a bit "deep" at. We just drafted a late round one of those a couple of years ago in Horton. If he goes undrafted I guess you can invite him to camp.

antonio pierce was just cut by the Giants. If Vinny were still in charge, he'd be on his way to redskins park by now.

So what's the advantage, if any to cutting players now, before the 5th of March. Or is it that there is no disadvantage, because people are confidently expecting an uncapped year?

Oh wow.. Pierce should definitely gain some interest across the league, especially if he can pass the physical

No clue if he'd be due something if kept past a point or if it was just to let him or them get a head start (easier to entice someone to sign with you if you know the spot is open, so they might have their eyes on someone).. doubt it had to do with FA otherwise since he still had a year left on his contract
after the season but before fa can an ufa that was cut be signed? I don't think so but not sure
