These days it's not hard to find people trying to make comparisons between Clausen and Quinn and though the jury is out on Quinn it showed that just playing in a pro style offense under Weiss and having great intangibles doesn't guarantee success.
Still it is a pro offense and I stand by the statement that we have possibly the best QB coaches in the league (Norv Turner is also up there) and I think if they're comfortable enough with Clausen we'll be more then fine.

Nice post. The part in bold is a good reminder this time of year and most especially because of who we have calling the shots at Redskins Park. I don't think there's any reason to assume Bruce and Mike have fallen in love w/ Bradford the way some have. Like the excerpt above shows, so many kids have looked like future champions leading up to the draft only wallow in mediocrity forever thereafter. My intuition is our FO has a solid risk/reward strategy for us.
