Clauson was the number 1 QB in the nation coming into ND and thrived under Al Weis's pro system (not that that did any good in making one of your favorites, Brady Quinn anything more than over-hyped ). His bad attitude dropped him into the second round, not his skillset - but unlike lets say Orton (who not uncoincidentally was a 4th rounder for obvious reasons), he still has the potential to be a franchise QB if he matures and is put in a more nurturing environment. Comparisons could be better made between Orton and Moore - in this case though, the guy running the team was an all world e elite SB QB who apparently wanted anyone but Orton to start - even giving Quinn the benefit of the doubt to screw up again.. probably his last chance). McDaniel who is no HC, but sure is an offensive minded talent drafted Tebow to replace Orton, even after Orton had a pretty decent year, at least stat wise and largely thanks to Marshall. I'm not championing Moore, but similar circumstantial arguments you make against him can be make against your cupcake of the month, "3 and Out Orton" also, since a guy who knows QBing as well as anyone would prefer anyone but him and an offensive minded coach was looking to replace him even after some decent stats :idk:
Just because Elway was a great qb doesnt make him the best judge of qb talent. Chris simms a SB qb seemed to like Beck quite a bit in miami and we all know how that turned out.
Love how u give credit to marshall for the previous year while orton statistically did better wihtout Marshall and a player that never did anything put up superior numbers to marshall with orton at qb while Marshall did not do the same magic for Chad henne somehow. I also quite remember the chargers drafting phillip Rivers even though they had Drew Brees on the team so did that mean Brees sucked. still dont understand what this has to do with Moore sucking with Carolina .
