Default Re: Clarett cut by Broncos

Thats too bad. He had some real assholes on his side that gave him some very bad advice. What a waste of talent.

I was kinda rooting for Clarett, at first, after I saw the Broncos took him in the 3rd round. I felt like the NFL had failed him thus far. I thought Denver was his ideal situation, where he wouldn't be put into any high pressure situations before he was able to get his legs under him. He could learn at a comfortable pace, perhaps.

After seeing how he washed out with the Broncos, I don't think he'll catch on anywhere. The Broncos were his best hope. I watched the Colt-Broncos preseason game, and they talked about how Shannahan had to take him aside at least a dozen times, etc, and that he just didn't have an NFL "work ethic". He scowled as he paced the sidelines, never even getting a snap. Maybe he knew what was coming.

The writing is on the wall when a 3rd round pick gets cut this soon. There is something chronically wrong with this guy. If anyone takes him, it's a mistake.
