CLANRAM EXCLUSIVE: Transcript of Combine QB Interviews

My staff was able to obtain exclusive transcripts of the Rams' interviews with some of the top QB prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. Here are some excerpts:

Tim Tebow

Devaney: "Says here that you played in Urban Myer's offense at University of Florida. Can you give us an idea of what your role was?"

Tebow: "Sure. Typically, I'd get the ball snapped to me from a shotgun, and from there, I'd look downfield and possibly jump up and throw the ball, but usually I'd run it up the middle."

Spagnuolo: "So you were the primary runner..."

Tebow: "Well... not exactly. We had running backs too."

Spagnuolo: "So, you would throw the ball too?"

Tebow: "Sometimes. A lot of times I'd jump up and throw a short pass to a receiver who would then gain a lot of yards."

Devaney: "Well, if other players would do most of the running, why not snap the ball directly to them?"

Tebow: "I'll tell you why... because running backs and receivers aren't good at receiving the snap. That's what QBs do?.

Spagnuolo: "But isn't that just catching the ball? Can't running backs and receivers do that too?"

Tebow: "LOOK, I WAS THE QUARTERBACK. RECEIVING THE SNAP WAS MY JOB. THAT'S WHAT I DID! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?!!"

Jimmy Clausen

Devaney: "Your name is Jimmy.... Clausen?"

Clausen: "Yes."

Devaney: "Any relation to the Clausen Pickle Company?"

Clausen: "No, its just a coincidence."

Spagnuolo: "Cause I'll tell you, when they came out with those crunchy dill minis... well it doen't get any better than that. I'll bet you really love them, what with the same name and all..."

Clausen: "Yeah, they're pretty good."

Spagnuolo: "You're damn right they are. Which is your favorite."

Clausen: "Well, I guess I sort of like them all."

Devaney: "That's great. I feel the same way. I celebrate their entire catalogue. So, Mr. Clausen."

Clausen: "You can just call me Jimmy."

Sam Bradford

Spagnuolo: "So Sam, can you take us through your last season in college."

Bradford: "Sure. Well, I played in half of one game, and then sat out most of the rest of the year..."

Devaney: "Wait... sat out most of the rest of the year?"

Bradford: "Yeah. I had surgery and then started preparing for the draft. Look... its not that I didn't care about my team, its just that I was injured. And you know what else... since then, I've had eight doctors."

Devaney: "Eight???"

Bradford: "That's right. So, in the end, my main motivation was just not to have to be probed by doctors. But, you know, in the end, that will only make you play through enough injuries to keep you off injured reserve."

Devaney: "What if... and this is just a hypothetical... what if we were to offer some sort of, per game, bonus/incentive type contract... would that help?

Bradford: "I don't know... maybe... look... I've got to go. It was great meeting you guys. Good luck with your scouting."

Bradford leaves room.

Devaney: "Wow... that's just a straight shooter with first round draft pick written all over him."

I like!!:D

is this legit? (the Tebow part)

Took me a while to catch on, but very nice.



"That was my st-st-st-apler... I'll burn this place down. I'll really do do do it this time..."

Ohhhhhhhh I see now lol

ahahah good stuff. I knew it was a joke, but it took me to the end of Tebow's conversation to get the reference. Makes me want to go watch that movie again.

Based on these interveiws ... we dont draft a qb this year lol

i got all excited thinking this was real, then Tebow freaks out. I knew it was bogus then...
