Clausen falling is all character concerns. He's kind of a jerk, and some of his past behavior makes him look spoiled and petulant. Lots of rumors about teammates not liking him. If you watched the ESPN QB show with Jon Gruden the segment with Clausen was painful. With Clausen, he tore him apart for not respecting the game or his teammates. On the other hand the segments with Tebow and McCoy were ones where Gruden obviously enjoyed talking to them and he liked what they said.
You're absolutely right. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tebow and McCoy segments (and was particularly impressed with the sheer work ethic demonstrated by Tebow). Gruden definitely didn't feel Clausen.
I still don't know why Gruden tore into McCoy so badly for his accent. I didn't think it was THAT bad. But, then again, I'm biased. I like a man with a southern drawl.
