I prefer the Akili comparison. They are both one year wonders.

Did either really have 1 good year that would make them wonders? not that i remember.
I don't think you can deny the year Cam had this year in college. It was huge, and he basically carried that team. As for Akili, the year he was drafted he was one of top performing Qbs in college. Again making Oregon a force in the Pac 10.
but neither will make nor did make NFL qbs.

If cam is successful, then good for him. Just not going to buy into the hype til i see it. He seems to have the making, but alot of failed attempts did also, but does he have the mental maturity for it? Thats the problem i see him having really and teaching him pass first run second.

It seems to me that I recall one Outlaw that didn't feel that way.
Slabaugh doesnt count.

He had two good RBs and Steve Smith. Thats at least "something". Now that said, Clausen was a dick in college, he was a dick during the draft, and he is still a dick. Attitude can either overcome deficiencies or make a talented player suck. I dont know if Clausen really has talent, but he sure does have the suck down right.
Oh? Well in that case you are correct!:biglaugh:

I am NOT a Classen fan. That being said I agree with you that they need a different direction and do NOT go Newton or Gabbert.I would much rather see them grab a top DL, or Peterson or even Green over one of the Qbs. They will be in perfect position to grab a 2nd round Qb, Ponder, Mallett(my pick for them...), or Dalton.So i agree with you on that

They do not have a 2nd round pick.
good point, even more important not to waste that pick on Newton or Gabbertt then....

This is the team that should take a shot at one year of McNabb. he would mix in well with Steve Smith, Shockey and an actual running game to help open up the deep ball.

Interesting thought. Think that would depend on if he comes cheap or not.
Let me ask this question. Again, understand I am not a Claussen fan....
But think any teams learned from San Diego?
They get Brees, he has a rough start, they lose faith. They make a draft day deal to get Rivers, but want to let him develop. So they keep starting Brees and look what happens. Now, they made the situation worse by not trading Brees, and instead letting him go for free in FA. Now, do I think Claussen CAN do this. No. Why? Cause if they do deal Smith, and they don't get a real Wr in there, I don't care if you are Joe Montana, you will suck.
So, I would much rather see Carolina take Green, or a much needed DL. Get the O-line back and healthy, run the damn ball, and get a top flight Wr and keep Smith. Give Claussen the chance. If he fails...guess what? You are in line to get Luck next year. Win/win IMO.

I like this mode of thinking. I personally think we have a decent group of young WRs. Gettis is a good size and speed and has decent hands, jury is still out on Lafel. Not sure if I would keep Smith around if I drafted Green though... That guys seems to be a disease, never been much of a fan. He would really have to prove that he isn't going to ruin Green before I let him stay around.
