Great and all as he was as a junior, Clausen still was not a winner at Notre Dame. His three-year record at quarterback was 3-9, 6-6 and 6-6. Hardly Joe Montana stuff.

Yes, he has a great arm and potentially, and I mean potentially, he could be a great quarterback.

But, in my opinion, he needed one more year in the college game.

Charlie Weis told him to go, which is one reason, if I were Clausen, I'd think twice.

Weis has a vested interest in seeing Notre Dame fail after he leaves .

Clausen will be a huge loss, and his departure will make the job all the more difficult for the new coach when he takes over.

But Clausen could well be too immature for the NFL. That's my opinion.
