Clemens had very good years in 1994 and 1996, but he was only slightly above average in 1993 and 1995. It's safe to argue that without the use of drugs, he would've had more of those years, sort of like Greg Maddux. Maddux posted otherworldly numbers from age 28-32, posting an ERA less than half the league average from 1994-1998. He remained excellent for another four years, and has been reduced to good over the last five years.
