H2o Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 http://walterfootball.com/jimmyclausenhate.php if you're in the "too long; didn't read" crowd, scroll down to the "in conclusion" portion of this article. This article breaks things down and pretty much discusses every arguement against the guy. It's long, but worth the read for all of you who use these same arguements. Look aat the improvement of his QB rating over the 3 seasons and remember that the last 10 games of the 2009 season was with an injury to his big toe on the foot that takes all the weight when you're dropping back. Look at the combacks late in the 4th. It is full of alot of information that myself and a few others have tried to point out. Maybe if it comes from an alternate source it might actually sink in. I hope he's there @ #9 and I hope we draft the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter is the #1 knock against the guy. all I know is QB guru Shanahan went out and got McNabb immediately after meeting with the kid. That tells me he wasnt' worth building a team around in Shanahan's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems that Shanny is going with the win now approach, or trying to atleast, when we are clearly trying to rebuild. If you would notice the comments about his OL and playing through the injury to his foot you would understand why he was heaving the ball up there with only his arm strength. When you're about to get plowed and you can't push off of your back foot the way you would like it equals the ball coming out with a higher trajectory. He still had his QB rating go up nearly 30 points with an injured foot for 10 out of the 12 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cocktosten Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 all I know is QB guru Shanahan went out and got McNabb immediately after meeting with the kid.

Getting a perrenial Pro Bowl QB who is coming to your team with a massive chip on his shoulder helps Shanny do just that. Or that a rookie QB will generally take 2-3 years before he can actually start impacting a game consistantly? Pure speculation on your part.
