Jimmy Clausen (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ClauJi00.htm), career net yards per passing attempt: 4.0
Sam Bradford (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BradSa00.htm), career net yards per passing attempt: 5.1
Colt McCoy (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McCoCo00.htm), career net yards per passing attempt: 5.5
Tim Tebow (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TeboTi00.htm), career net yards per passing attempt: 5.6
The NFL average for this particular statistic over the last two years is 6.1, held by Jay Cutler and David Garrard.
I would say that you can't turn the lights out on Tebow or McCoy just yet as passers. But what all these guys have in common is that none of them use the pocket particularly well, which means a lot of roll outs, which means that the field is being cut down, and that limits completion percentages and big play opportunities. If any of these guys can get comfortable in the pocket, they have a shot to be successful still.
But the 2010 NFL draft has produced one of the worst classes in memory, at least that has to be the perception of it to date.
