EXACTLY.
It's easy to say Z'Darrius Smith could have had the same impact. That assumes they could have signed him instead of Green Bay and also assumes he fits as well in Spagnuolo's defense as Clark. Smith looked like a helpless little bitch as his team got embarrassed by the San Francisco running game.

That's an example of a player who came up big in the playoffs. ****ing great. Glad he's here. But not at $21 million.
I really enjoyed that Super Bowl run. I'd kind of like to see more of these Super Bowl runs in the future. And I just don't think you get there by desperately clinging to players like Watkins just because he had some big moments in the playoffs. Not when he is incapable of playing 16 games or breaking 1000 yards even though he's the WR1 for 4-5 weeks of the season.
Same goes for Clark. The coming up big thing is great. It really is. And unlike Watkins, he doesn't have an injury history to worry about. But I also think people remember Clark for his end-of-game sacks that were more effort than ability.
I DID enjoy the Derrick Henry and Janeane Garafalo shit talking. That was great. Maybe next time don't pay a 1st AND 2nd round pick for it, though.

They effectively traded Bitchmade Dee and a first (in a pretty weak draft) for Clark. I have no problem with that price point.
