McClendon is one of those guys that you have to have on your team because you can't afford to pay Pro-Bowlers at every position. He fits the mold of Hoke, Keisel, Smith, Foote, good players who get an occasional Pro-Bowl that contribute at a high level for the team. As the play makers around him get better he will look better and better and be highly regarded by the fans in a similar light as the players mentioned above, IMO. He won't be the reason the defense fails, should it fail.
