What the **** are you talking about? Clark and Ford both had 13 sacks in their best season.

The only things that are terrible are Frank Clark in his current state and the obsession with making him out to be better than he ever was. He's not all world against the run. He's marginally better than Dee Ford who had developed into a guy who was doing a solid job of setting the edge in 2018. Had Ford not been injured in 2017, I'm not so sure we could say Clark was marginally more consistent at getting to the QB. So was it worth the extra 4 million per year? What I'm seeing is no and I didn't think so then.
I thought Houston had some issues but the guy was still more productive on a per-game basis than Clark over those 3 years and especially so against the run. Sure, injuries were an issue so I get that part of it, but was it really worth giving up on the guy to sign a lesser player? I don't know about that. I was on board with keeping one of Houston or Ford. Maybe Houston wanted out, but I have very large doubts about that and anyone saying it is using pure conjecture. I certainly hope Clark returns to the guy he was in Seattle, but to date it really looks doubtful. That's a problem because right now you're looking at the future and the need to bring in pass rushers while having another huge contract to eat. Veach's biggest free-agent spends on defense have been trash here and we're stuck with them at least through next year. |

Now Clark is “marginally” better than Ford against the run?
Ford’s so bad against the run that the 49ers gave up a 2nd round pick and big contract for him and STILL choose to use him as a situational pass rusher. One guy is good and the other is below average. How the **** is that marginal? You really don’t have a ****ing clue dude. |

Yay, the resident idiots are starting read! I meant to say never had more sacks and never as many tackles in a season, but that's moot at this point. Clark was never better than Ford at getting to the QB. Clark and Ford put up identical sacks in 2018 and 2016. Ford was injured in 2017 for 10 games, so we can't compare. So explain to me how Clark was better again?

You guys are just talking around in circles. Nobody would say that so far this signing has turned out great. But if you're trying to argue that Ford is a better player than Clark has been to this point, you're nuts. Ford has been an injury problem, and is shite against the run. Clark has been a better all around player. It's not really not up for debate. He's also been on the field much more often. Ford is a situational pass rusher; and San Fran uses him as such even now. Just stop. Now, has Clark produced here? No. Hopefully he gets healthy and does. If not, well, hindsight is 20/20. it was a lot to give up to get him and he hasn't produced yet. But quit trying to say Ford is better. |

kccrow was not a fan of the 2019 draft. Pretty sure he ripped it.
He doesn’t have a ****ing clue. |

As for injury, most defensive lineman get hurt at one point or another. Ford got his. I don't give much shits about that, it happens. If it becomes a trend where a guy starts missing alot of time repeatedly for similar injuries, then that's a bigger issue. It's a reason letting Houston go makes a bit more sense. Speaking of Houston, you look at the Texans and the JJ Watt situation, and you have to start wondering if it's worth it anymore. The guy is the best in the NFL but hasn't really been available 3 out of 4 years. It starts to pile up. |
