Jimmy will be the starter by the middle of the season and end the season as the starter. Hes that good, Ive seen him play in person, guy has a rare ability to throw the football perfectly
I saw him in a passing tournament last week he has a cannon and he uses it with accuarcy n precision. He is the best high schooler i have ever seen. Also he is a great kid with a good head on his shoulders>
The kid is ridiculous. If you saw the special ESPN did on him you would not be able to deny it. The list of schools he had been pursued by as a sophomore was the most insane thing I have ever heard. USC, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Louisiana. Every top school in the nation wanted him. No player is ever a lock to excel at the next level, but you can't deny that he is one of the top recruits ever.
Hes so talented, wow. Hes got a pure arm, maybe the purest arm Ive seen since Peyton. NDs got like the #1 class in the nation, with Mike Floyd and Deion Walker coming in at WR.
over the past two games he has really showed irish nation that he is as good as they said he was 6tds vs. 0 ints and they have the #1 recruting class in the country 9 wins or mare next year
Give Clausen the supporting cast and/or offensive line of those guys and I guarantee he puts up the same kind of numbers. And, in case you didn't know, he played hurt all of last year. Not to mention those other guys are older and more experienced.
Jimmy Clausen is exactly like his brother. Casey, who attended UT and SUCKED as the QB there, oh and he also spiked his hair with gel as Jimmy does. ICEMAN
That is pretty funny considering that nd is one the few top programs that actually maintains academic standards. Every other top program with the exception of Cal lets in felons with 750 sats.
He may be good in a few years, but for now, this video shows only that he can rip apart some random high school secondary. As for now, it sure is fun to watch replays of him getting sacked by two of the best linebackers in the country (Sean Lee and Dan Conner) -For the Glory of Old State-
I think he is over hyped, but still good. I think so after watching the U.S. Army highschool allstar game in which he did basically nothing. Ryan Mallett was throwin freakin frozen ropes that game and I watched him another time in person. He impressed me a great deal more than Clausen. However, I will say that Clausen is pretty good.
I'm a huge Notre Dame fan and I hope that clausen does great things, but really, this video just shows him dumping off on check downs, hitting quick screens or throwing bombs to blown coverage.
@Tolan04 we'll see? what is there to see? he's broken basically every significant rookie passing record ever. he's broken the record for most rushing TD's by any QB. he's gonna be the first rookie to throw for 4000 yards in a season. there's nothing to see. he's gonna be a superstar.
We really don't know how good Clausen is since he probably had 2 seconds on average to get rid of passes this season. Until Weis gets a half decent line ND will continue to suck it up.
you know what, im not sure about this guy either. but for one thing, his numbers do say a lot. im just curious to see what happens when he gets to notre dame, and everyone is as good or better then he is. he'll no longer be the best qb around, or have the best players on his team. i mean in high school, its kinda hard to lose when 8 other guys on your team have already signed to D one colleges. but i say give him the credit he deserves.
He was the top QB out of HS. look at who he was ranked ahead of. Ryan Mallet-yeah he has a future Aaron Corp-haha Cam Newton-bust Tyrod Taylor-don't think so I think Clausen has the best future out of any of those.
@andrew7603 honestly, look at clausen vs stanford...... he played great at so many games against good teams. Remeber notre dame cant play defence so dont look at his W vs L look at highlights
Well what i dont get is if he isnt the best high school QB then how come they dont talk about nobody else then??? It is true he has good WR's and HB bu still if it was that reason they would have someone else taking all the hype other than Clausen so ppl back off he is the best
Watching high school videos is pointless. All you guys saying he is overhyped are just Notre Dame haters mad cause you know the truth will soon be realized. Look what Charlie Weis did with Brady Quinn. Was anyone talking about him 3 years ago? No, but now he is going to be the #1 draft choice. Face the facts Claussen will break every Notre Dame passing record and be the best QB in college. 4 years with Charlie Weis = National Championships.
watch video of brantley, he has a better arm and is more accurate...and since when does being the number one recruit in the nation necessarily mean you're going to win the heisman. Chris Leak and Kyle Wright were said to be monsters. Leak is finally playing well this year, but Wright is horrid and the funny thing is that Wright's vid on sunshinepreps looks eerily similar to this one of Clausen
OSU hasn't had a good offensive line in several years. Why do you think Beanie ran as far as he could from them and onto the NFL? Another year of getting pounded behind that line would have ruined his chance at making any money in the pros.
He is gonna to be good but he isn't going to be good as he is hyped up too be. And Notre Dame brings in 5 star lineman every year there line shouldn't suck at all.
Besides Tom Brady and Jim Harbaugh have any UM QB's done anything? Does it bother you that Tom Brady gives a lot of credit to Charlie Weis and calls him the best QB coach there is? And now he's coaching Clausen?
Looking at the Michigan database, NO michigan QB was drafted from 1980-1986! Harbaugh was drafted in 1987. In 1988 Michael Taylor was UM's QB and he was NEVER DRAFTED. 1995 was Driesbach and he was not drafted either. So that debunks that bullshit. And, since when does being drafted mean that UM is QBU? How many of those QB's did anything in the league besides Brady? Thanks Douche!
alright first off you named a bunch of kids that had success in college, i don't think anyone gave a shit about carson palmer until he showed up as a heisman candidate w/ an amazing coach, he was not highly recruited. Jimmy Clausen has been deemed the best QB prospect since John Elway and that includes Peyton Manning, did you not see him featured on Outside the Lines as a JUNIOR and his QB coach who works with NFL players saying he could play in the NFL right now
Um, please name all these QB's and years played at UM. I just told you that Taylor and Driesbach were neither drafted NOR free agents. Why do you keep lying?
wtf are you talking about, Outside the LInes on ESPN(the most credible sports information available) interviewed nfl scouts who said he was the best QB prospect since John Elway came out in 1984 that would be in the last 22 years, and would include guys like Peyton Manning so tell me who the hell else in this class is better than Manning or Elway
yeah actually clausen can throw better than all of those guys, not to say that they all arent unbelievable players, I think jimmy clausen has dead aim accuracy, something all of those guys mentioned do not have on the level of jimmy clausen
Clausen can totally throw better than Bradford, Tebow...Jesus Christ. Those guys are in a spread system that is way below a pro system. One or two checks. Limited patterns. dinks and dunks. Can those guys make NFL type throws? You think Tebow is going to play QB in the pro's? They'll give him a chance at TE. Just because someone wins the Heisman(joke award) doesn't mean that they can throw. They are college QB's. Don't get carried away with their comp %. Jimmy will get drafted higher.
I just wanted to say that my account was spammed and I did not write that. If the owner of this video could take down my previous comment it would be greatly appreciated.
r u serious the big ten has 2 good teams michigan and ohio state some of the other teams have a good season once in a while. notre dame would sloaughter all the rest of the big ten schools
He is such a bad player.......LOL, must be the reason why USC offered him also and after the ND-USC the Poodle Pete Carroll he tells Jimmy, "Its not too late, you can still come." Jimmys response to that text was, " Im already packed!"
@ZeBron23 Whoa your using a lot of big words there. im not sure that Tolan can understand you. Use simpler words that you know he could understand :) btw once Newton gets a few more years under his belt and a better team hell be the futures version of Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees.. Tolan to put it simple. Newton win game. He good.
im not taking anything away from this kid but when every starter on your football team goes D1 how can you not throw over 3,000 yrds he's ok but he shouldn't of been the #1 recruit last yr all he did was throw 4-7 yrd passes to marc tyler and ran it 495869 yrds he's not that good and def not ready to lead a college team
its funny how Marc Tyler the RB is ranked higher on espn, they put Jimmy down because of lack of competition....?!?! They both play on the same team!!! Overrated my ass, after the USC game, Poodle Caroll was still harassing Jimmy, saying its not too late, nope, hes Weis' apprentice now, he will be the best qb in NCAA, even Kirk Herbistreit calls him freshman sensation, phenom
They played nothing but clowns all year.. but look what happened when they played a team of their caliber in the state championship, they almost lost..
he is 19-20 years old playing with 16-17 year olds. of course he's gonna be an all american and dominate at his spot. the qb from notre dame high is supposed to be better than him and he is going to notre dame university, his name is dayne or something like that and he is supposed to be much better than clauson.
just because michigan qb's were drafted doesn't mean they were any good. then look at the last few qb's, navarre, henson. henne is blessed with a good offensive line, he's overrated.
QB? Like neel said, outside of Brady and Harbaugh we're talking about Griese, Henson, Navarre and Collins. Geez, that's only slightly better than the shitty running backs your program has put in the league
@Tolan04 Newton has way more touchdowns and is a WAY better quarterback then that lunk of trash Clausen wouldve been. At least Newton can find the endszone....
Hahahha. I laugh at your idiocy. Yes you are right Willingham recruited those players. What you dont realize is Samardzja did not play one down of football until Weiss took over at Notre Dame. And compare Quinn's stats from his sophomore year to his Junior year with Weiss. That kind of progress is unheard of unless you have a genius in the background. So Samardjza went from a nobody to a top 15 pick and a Notre Dame record holder. Once again I win this argument. Go back to bandwagon jumping.
So lemme guess you're on the USC bandwagon? Or Florida now? Sauld how about you come up with worthwile opinions so this argument isn't so one sided. The facts are Brady Quinn went from nothing to the top NFL prospect because of Charlie Weiss. Everyone in the country knows it. Weiss will have equal success with Clausen and this time will have his recruits on the team. Not Bob Davie, not Willingham. Both of those coaches were disgraces Notre Dame will be a Dynasty just like when Holtz was there.
nobody cares about your stats kid. yea only reason he's this highly ranked is because of his last name, riight. keep thinking your at his level or whatever your trying to say. lol @ not that much better.
That running back he's passing to is Marc Tyler, the second-rated running back in the nation behind Noel Devine and committed to USC.
CR thanks man! im glad to know someone else has heard the right thing!
lol
Oaks Christian, 3 guys from the top 10, Clausen, Tyler, and Jones. one word- INSANE
Jimmy will be the starter by the middle of the season and end the season as the starter. Hes that good, Ive seen him play in person, guy has a rare ability to throw the football perfectly
I saw him in a passing tournament last week he has a cannon and he uses it with accuarcy n precision. He is the best high schooler i have ever seen. Also he is a great kid with a good head on his shoulders>
all i got to say is hes got some damn good backs and WR's on his team too
The kid is ridiculous. If you saw the special ESPN did on him you would not be able to deny it. The list of schools he had been pursued by as a sophomore was the most insane thing I have ever heard. USC, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Louisiana. Every top school in the nation wanted him.

best qb out of cali since elway
This aged horribly
i recall Brady Quinn getting intercepted on a mere screen pass, so everything counts, its not only that, he always hits his wr perfectly in stride
Jimmy Clausen is godly. Charlie Weis is going to mold him into the greatest college QB ever. Bank on it.
This aged horribly
@@ChandlerTingle ohhh boy beyond horrible. 14 years ago lmaooo
@@ChandlerTingle how’d you come across this video lmao
Because it's far from easy to get into the NFL, you have to be the best of the best
Give Clausen the supporting cast and/or offensive line of those guys and I guarantee he puts up the same kind of numbers. And, in case you didn't know, he played hurt all of last year. Not to mention those other guys are older and more experienced.
jimmy clausen is amazing. danimall22 is write about the big ten but jimmy clausen is the greates high school quarterback i have ever seen.
Jimmy Clausen is exactly like his brother. Casey, who attended UT and SUCKED as the QB there, oh and he also spiked his hair with gel as Jimmy does. ICEMAN
i go to school with jimmy at oaks and our football games are 30 pt lead blowouts!!!!
That is pretty funny considering that nd is one the few top programs that actually maintains academic standards. Every other top program with the exception of Cal lets in felons with 750 sats.
also Oaks Christian HS has a sick ass HB! he is a 5 star recruit! he commited to USC!
Interesting to look at these comments in 2023
Clausen's QB coach said hes the best that he works with and he works with Big Ben from Pittsburg, enough said
agreed.He just had a bunch of weapons on offense to help him out.
tuscaniman25 u are one smart man (or women idk) notre dame is winnin it all in clausens junior or senior year! OR BOTH!
How much time is he going to need? Another 10 years?
@Zurrixia who got benched today
did you even watch the video? these throws are crisp accrurate and on target.
@ZeBron23 How has Bradford looked after his rookie season?
He may be good in a few years, but for now, this video shows only that he can rip apart some random high school secondary. As for now, it sure is fun to watch replays of him getting sacked by two of the best linebackers in the country (Sean Lee and Dan Conner)
-For the Glory of Old State-
yeah strange i dont recall him saying he was going to win 4 championships and 4 heismans?
First comment in 9 years
I think he is over hyped, but still good. I think so after watching the U.S. Army highschool allstar game in which he did basically nothing. Ryan Mallett was throwin freakin frozen ropes that game and I watched him another time in person. He impressed me a great deal more than Clausen. However, I will say that Clausen is pretty good.
I'm a huge Notre Dame fan and I hope that clausen does great things, but really, this video just shows him dumping off on check downs, hitting quick screens or throwing bombs to blown coverage.
Paul Hornung?
@Tolan04 we'll see? what is there to see? he's broken basically every significant rookie passing record ever. he's broken the record for most rushing TD's by any QB. he's gonna be the first rookie to throw for 4000 yards in a season. there's nothing to see. he's gonna be a superstar.
We really don't know how good Clausen is since he probably had 2 seconds on average to get rid of passes this season. Until Weis gets a half decent line ND will continue to suck it up.
The real question is if Notre Dame as good as they say?
No without a descent line he's future looks dim.
talkin about brady quinn 2 this guy btw
two words: jamie comer
you know what, im not sure about this guy either. but for one thing, his numbers do say a lot. im just curious to see what happens when he gets to notre dame, and everyone is as good or better then he is. he'll no longer be the best qb around, or have the best players on his team. i mean in high school, its kinda hard to lose when 8 other guys on your team have already signed to D one colleges. but i say give him the credit he deserves.
He was the top QB out of HS. look at who he was ranked ahead of.
Ryan Mallet-yeah he has a future
Aaron Corp-haha
Cam Newton-bust
Tyrod Taylor-don't think so
I think Clausen has the best future out of any of those.
Tolan04 bro imma Notre Dame fan and a panthers fan, clauses sucks ass, Newton is a way better qb
floyd, kumara, tate, rudolph and a better o-line will help jimmy
Not a bad recruiting class in retrospect
@andrew7603 honestly, look at clausen vs stanford...... he played great at so many games against good teams. Remeber notre dame cant play defence so dont look at his W vs L look at highlights
Well what i dont get is if he isnt the best high school QB then how come they dont talk about nobody else then??? It is true he has good WR's and HB bu still if it was that reason they would have someone else taking all the hype other than Clausen so ppl back off he is the best
Joe Theisman?
But there is an "I" in the middle of WIN.
who is better, blue chip prospect jimmy clausen or mark da laura, da jersey guido>
Watching high school videos is pointless. All you guys saying he is overhyped are just Notre Dame haters mad cause you know the truth will soon be realized.

Face the facts Claussen will break every Notre Dame passing record and be the best QB in college. 4 years with Charlie Weis = National Championships.
Not bad for a 19 year old playing against 16 & 17 year olds.
to platers that are wide fuckin open
it doesn't matter because he isn't going to start anyway
watch video of brantley, he has a better arm and is more accurate...and since when does being the number one recruit in the nation necessarily mean you're going to win the heisman.

Besides Tom Brady and Jim Harbaugh have any UM QB's done anything? Does it bother you that Tom Brady gives a lot of credit to Charlie Weis and calls him the best QB coach there is? And now he's coaching Clausen?
@Tolan04 What the fuck does Bradford have to do with Cam Newton and the incredible success he's having?
@Tolan04 you fail on so many levels it's hilarious.
Looking at the Michigan database, NO michigan QB was drafted from 1980-1986! Harbaugh was drafted in 1987.

half these passes are screens
Only if you define overrated as 12 TDs and averaging 250+ yards a game passing. Whoops, I guess there go all the other big namers too.
Um, please name all these QB's and years played at UM. I just told you that Taylor and Driesbach were neither drafted NOR free agents. Why do you keep lying?

Rick Mirer had a better pro career than Navarre, Collins and Drew Henson!
yeah actually clausen can throw better than all of those guys, not to say that they all arent unbelievable players, I think jimmy clausen has dead aim accuracy, something all of those guys mentioned do not have on the level of jimmy clausen
liar, they guy threw like 6 int all year, i doubt he threw 4 picks to 1 team
@kingofkings1009 lol, are you serious. Or, should I say were you actually serious when you wrote this a year ago? I like jimmy to and all but dam.
Jimmy Clausen needs to put on some weight.
QB U? Where is that? Besides Tom Brady, who has come from Michigan? I would say Miami (FL) and Notre Dame have more QB's in the NFL.
@ZeBron23 we'll see
He's not the Lebron James of high school football though. He's good but he's not even the best high school quarterback this year.
Clausen can totally throw better than Bradford, Tebow...Jesus Christ.
Those guys are in a spread system that is way below a pro system. One or two checks. Limited patterns. dinks and dunks. Can those guys make NFL type throws? You think Tebow is going to play QB in the pro's? They'll give him a chance at TE.

no offense, but i'll take professional collegiate scouts' advice over a random youtube poster's. but that's just me.
They played nothing but clowns all year.. but look what happened when they played a team of their caliber in the state championship, they almost lost..
@DaPudge1985 hahaha exactly!
In a word - no.

more whoops
nobody cares about your stats kid. yea only reason he's this highly ranked is because of his last name, riight. keep thinking your at his level or whatever your trying to say. lol @ not that much better.
No.
All I see is a bunch of short passes, to tremendous athletes. Way overrated, and could possibly be the biggest flop in college we'll ever see.
wow this video shows that he can throw short passes and that his recievers r good and can drive down the field. Clausen is pathetic!
Average/10
Im better than him.. He sucked, look under "Best QB in the world."
OVERRATED!!!! he played no one in high school and has sucked at ND
