Bradford or Clausen?

Bradford took a large share of snaps under center in 2007 and had a rather decent season. I like his footwork dropping back, setting and throwing that year looking back at tape. Also his stats for that year demonstrate an ability to read the defense even when under center. My biggest concern, other than medically being 100%, is whether he can stand in there and make the throw under pressure and not worry about the big hit. That pass rush will be much faster and there will be a curve in adjusting from the spread but I do not think it is as steep for Bradford as opposed to some other spread QBs in this draft because of his prior experience.
Clausen does have the pro style experience but I am not as sold on his decision making and I think his accuracy is a little overrated. I thought he put the ball up for grabs too often and has too many balls float on him. The attitude factor is there but is really hard to have any real insight there, as we must rely on hearsay for the most part and I have faith that Billy and Spags can determine that much better than me. Just watching tape of them both side by side I am not as sold on Clausen yet.
I think they both are decent prospects that are going to be nitpicked and debated endlessly and ultimately it becomes a matter of personal preference on QB style. Overall I think either prospect is an upgrade to our roster and can be developed into a starter in this league. While I don’t rate either prospect at the top of my draft board, I think the Rams are completely justified in investing in either QB if they rate them as a Top 5 pick. Our offense must improve to keep our defense off the field. Just giving our defense time to rest by not going 3 and out will improve that defense overall. I love Suh and Berry but neither would have as great an impact on our entire team as a QB would, no matter how hard it is to say that.

and am not arguing with Joyner’s statistics. However I think those stats do not account for the number of times that Clausen missed check downs in favor of heaving a ball down the field. Sure it wasn’t a turnover (or near-turnover) but there were too many times where the ND offense stalled out because of long shots down the field when an open back or tight end was able to take the check down pass. Of course if my defense was as bad as ND’s then I would probably be looking for TDs every play too.
 Regardless though Clausen has definately progressed in his decision making compared to the year prior which shows me he is coachable. I believe he is a top QB prospect but I still prefer Bradford overall for the Rams. I doubt Clausen falls out of the Top 6 and would not be completely shocked if Pete Carroll traded up with the Lions in order to take Clausen at 2 overall.
