That's really a false narrative tghat gets repeated more than it should. His first year that was an issue (4 games played), and a little bit his second season (13 games played) but he has been healthy ever since. He played 14, 16, 15 games respectively the past 3 seasons and he has been healthy this season as well.

Clark has 7 more career sacks in 2 fewer career games played. Get out of here with that nonsense. Clark has missed 3 games in his career, Clowney has missed 18. You can argue the price difference etc..but Clowney has not proven to be a better player. That's ridiculous. |

But people wanted so badly to believe that sweet boy Brett Veach couldn't have made a mistake so they shit on a superior player to Frank Clark to convince themselves of it. Clowney is a prototype LDE in this defense and Veach simply screwed it up. Any amount of mental gymnastics to convince yourself otherwise is folly. |

I've addressed this stupid "BUT THE SACKS" argument already. Shit, I did it 3 posts ago. Clark might be a better pure pass rusher (maybe) but he is nowhere near the overall player and the fact that the dude has never made a single pro bowl while Clowney made 3 in a row should have probably tipped you off to this fact. But yes, you clearly do intend to keep ****ing the injury prone chicken while ignoring the fact that he's played 90% of his games the last 3+ years. Glad we cleared that up. |

He’s been a bust if you compare the hype he got coming out of college. |

I'm going to say it again for you DJ, Clowney has not proven to be a better player than Clark, he is cheaper but he is NOT better (not before this season anyway) and never has been.
You are talking straight out your ass. |

I thought a report came out the Texans cane to the Chiefs about Clowney and the Chiefs wanted no part of him. They were absolutely locked in on Clark to the point they overbid against themselves. I would be really curious what evaluation factors the Chiefs use...old school eye talent/tape or full blown analytics. It certainly isnt moneyball I know that and nobody anymore can say Clark is cheap. This group has gotten ownership to constantly overpay for players more than I have ever seen. Most of them have backfired terribly. |

I would argue he is probably the most overrated player I have ever seen. Last night might be the best game of his career but I have seen Dee Ford have that kind of night.

All things considered, I'd rather have Clowney over Clark and said so at the time. When you consider the price it took to get each player respectively, it's a no brainer. However, in all fairness, no way that the Chiefs could have gotten Clowney for what the Seahawks did because of the timing. |

Regarding last night, you know the Seahawks got a great deal of satisfaction seeing the guy they traded for come up BIG in a BIG game against a division rival! Maybe we'll be saying the same thing about Frank Clark next Monday ngiht? |

The Texans built schemes around Clowneys versatility and his ability to dominate was on clear display last night against an undefeated football team. Clark was a situational rusher who the Seahawks ditched the moment it was time to pay him. Again - find me a 3 time pro bowler who's worse than a direct contemporary with ZERO honors from the league. Clark's excellence is a myth manufactured on CP to justify a ****ing terrible decision by Veach and had the Raiders made that decision you'd have laughed your ass off. |
