5 loss season. Impressive.

Again, like you preach with goalies, Wins and losses are a team stat. Can't fault Clausen for 5 losses.

The Notre Dame offense has been fantastic. It's their defense that lets them down time after time. Like the Stand ford game, he was 23-30 for 340 and 5 TDs. How is that his fault they lost?

He has a QB rating of 161.43 has passed for 3,722 yards and thrown for 28 TDs with only 4 INTs this season. All in a pro style offense, unlike guys like Harrell.

That's pretty damn good, I'd say.

You forgot one minor detail. He went to Notre Dame...therefore he automatically sucks. Didn't you get the memo?

All sarcasm aside, there's something about the guy that turns me off, and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's his demeanor/attitude. I really didn't like the way he was talking shit to the Stanford sideline after they got that go-ahead score and then ended up losing. The guy can't seem to keep his mouth shut. I'm pretty sure that incident in South Bend wasn't merely a fan saying "Hey Jimmy! You suck! (*whack*)". He had to have said something.

Perhaps it stems from the entitlement he feels about everything. He came to South Bend in a stretch limo proclaiming how he was going to win multiple national championships at Notre Dame.

Ryan Leaf, part deux.

I forgot Clausen only threw 4 INTs this season. This excites me.

My biggest worry is that he may have peaked already being in a pro system for so long and could have reached his full potential. A point made by a few draft experts.

Clearly.

"I'm looking forward to a 15 year career, a couple of trips to the Super Bowl, and a parade through downtown San Diego."

Clausen announced his oral commitment at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana, after arriving in a stretch Hummer limousine. He also said his goal was to win multiple national titles with the Irish.

He's #2, and will be a top 10 pick. I was way off!

This was also said when Bradford was hurt and nobody knew the status of his shoulder.

Not to jump in the middle of a heated debate, but I just want to say that Clausen is not the best QB of this draft class (and I'm a ND fan). Weiss may have been able to show him some NFL qualities, but he will have a long period until he is good (Brand Quinn anybody). However, if Clausen can pull a Mark Sanchez +1, meaning making it to the Super Bowl in his rookie season, I'll be the first to eat my words and get my girl and me two Super Bowl travel packages and tell him personally that he proved me wrong!

If this is a bot, wow

**LALALALALALAFONTAINE** · 06-17-2010 01:37 PM

Since Clausen blamed his receivers for his interceptions, is he going to blame Gruden for the fact he got drafted 48th instead of top 10 (or 1st!!!!!), like some in here thought would happen?

I was wrong, it happens. I still think he's going to be the best QB in the class this year. He's in a great situation and is very pro ready.

Congrats on manning up. I think he's too immature to ever do it. That said, he's in a GREAT position at Carolina. That's an ideal situation to be in for a rookie QB.

I know, with that running game to fall back on, it should help. Plus having a great WR like Smith is nice. That's really why I think he'll turn out good. He is immature, and weird sometimes, that's for sure.

**LALALALALALAFONTAINE** · 06-19-2010 12:02 AM

John Fox is the perfect coach for him, too.
