so I suppose my critique of the argument is that the people saying Clark sucks watch Chiefs games and not much else, just stat totals. So they're all-Clark sucks! He's no Khalil Mack! And I'm all-well, statistically, he compares favorably with Mack in last year's statistics and so far in the two games this year. And they're all- And that appears to be the conversation. I'm completely unconcerned with Frank Clark. I have concerns with the LB corps, and have some questions at CB, but I have no concerns in the front four at all, really. |

Also, not to make this thread "all about me" but it's disingenuous to think I and others have questioned if Clark was worth it "because no sacks."
I never once brought up sacks. I said QB pressures and big plays in the OP. I also posted this before the end of the 1st quarter. But even you all have to admit... the Jacksonville game up to the end of the 1st quarter, the defense was playing like shit, and Clark wasn't really demonstrating much to change that trend. |

He also came into a new system and immediately wrecked GB game one. He gets doubled and such all the time, yet still seems to make big game changing plays. We haven't seen that from Clark yet. It's great that he's good against the run, hustling and whatever. That's all awesome, but again, that's expected. With his contract, he's expected to be as Veach said, a "DPOY" candidate. Thru 2 games, he's not been that. |

Back in the day even Lawrence ****ing Taylor was accused of 'disappearing' for stretches because he wasn't putting up numbers for a few games. KC fans ALWAYS made this complain about DT. It's not a BFD. Larger sample is needed. I think Clark will be fine. We're talking about TWO GAMES. |

I also don't really put much into the Interception. It was a three timed tipped ball that he was in the right place for.
As a 43 DE, go get the QB. If you get doubled or chipped, ok. Great. They aren't doing that every play and when he's not getting that, he's not really getting much pressure. |

And no, we haven't seen it yet, but it's a small sample size and within that sample size, his stats compare very favorably to Mack. So what I'm saying is-any panic is REALLY premature and reactionary. |

I think my argument is getting kinda misconstrued here. I don't have any worries that he'll be fine. My thing is that the Chiefs D needs him to be more than fine. What he's done so far just isn't good enough for what they gave up and are paying. I think Frank agrees as he's said so, so I'm not really worried that it won't come hopefully. |

They viewed him as the 2nd best defensive player in the league and a defensive player of the year guy. I don't have a problem with people asking more of him based on that. But yea, he definitely doesnt' suck that's hyperbole. |

This is essentially pre-season for the starting DL, they haven't truly have their legs under them. The Ravens game and on we'll see an improvement.

This is a dominant game. I'm gonna guess he gets doubled and such too. |
