at least two Heisman winning QBs come out this year

If Colt McCoy wins the Heisman this year, that would make three along with Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow.

Granted winning a Heisman doesn't do much for getting drafted, but it is a fairly crowed QB class coming out next year. Even if you assume that Clausen is far more attractive to the NFL as a pure passer than Tebow, it's still a decent collection of competition.

Taking a look at the guys that might compete with Clausen if he leaves after the 2010 season:

Jake Locker
Jevan Snead (year of eligibility left)
Ryan Mallet (year of eligibility left)
Jarrett Lee (year of eligibility left)
Aaron Corp
Zach Frazer
Terrelle Pryor (would only be a junior)

Pretty crappy talent. Clausen would have to basically stop improving to not be the easy choice as the #1 QB alongside that motley crew.
