I saw the bit on ESPN about Jimmy. His practice regimen is unreal. He has all the tools...it's just a matter of whether or not he can translate those skills into being a good leader on the football field. At this age he reminds me of Chris Simms. We'll see if he develops better than Simms did. |

Well, "worth the hype" is a relative term in my opinion. He displays all the tools to be a very good quarterback, he has the size and arm strength and its obvious that he knows the game of football.
His videos are very impressive but the quarterback position is such a crap shoot when going from high school to college, it will be a matter of how he adjusts to the difference in speed at the next level.
I am not a quarterback talent evaluator, but I would think given his skills, talent level and intangibles, he very well could be a top quarterback in college after a couple of years.
What are your thoughts Wadc.....

I haven't see the videos on Scout yet but I can tell you this...he can make all the throws. He spends countless hours with his personal QB coach working on his release, footwork, vision and stamina. He is going to be a great threat in the pocket with the ability to move around when needed. He is remarkably efficient with his throws, meaning he doesn't use a lot of wasted motion delivering the ball. I saw a line a few weeks ago where he played a little over two quarters in a game and was 7 of 9 for 250+ yards and 4 TDs. He has the size to be sucessful as well...something Simms I thought lacked. Simms had the height but never had the frame to take a hit and deliver a throw with some authority. Clausen can do that...
You don't have a 58/6 TD/INT ratio as a sophmore without being pretty darn good...

Clausen Wins Another Title
By Phil Kornblut
QB Jimmy Clausen (6-3 190) of Westlake Village, CA recently completed his junior season leading his team to a 13-0 record and a third straight state championship. Clausen finished the season with 2800 passing yards with 30 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. For his career he's passed for 7300 yards and 97 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. His touchdown figure is third best in state history. And keep in mind Clausen is only playing about half the time because most of his games are blowouts. Four schools, and possibly five, remain firmly in the competition for Clausen according to his coach Bill Redell. The four are USC, Notre Dame, Southern Cal and California. A possible fifth contender is Michigan. Redell said he's not sure when Clausen wants to make a decision but he thinks it will be before his senior season.
