This is the same shit people said when people had the audacity to say early on "hey guys - maybe this Matt Cassel fella kinda sucks..."
Nobody wants Frank Clark to fail. And very few people think he will continue to do so. But pointing out that he's been a disappointment thus far isn't being hypercritical or unfair. It isn't being a 'bad fan'. Little old ladies that yell at people in the stadium to sit down are the only people I generally meet that tell anyone who's being critical that they aren't good supporters of the team. You sound like a PTA mom. |

Clark has been very underwhelming so far but we still have 12-more games to go. That said I don't think Ford is any worse than Clark is if anything he might be better. So getting rid of Ford and signing Clark seemed like a stupid move to me and still does.

Had a bad feeling that he and Mathieu would be underwhelming. Not that they’re not worth having, but both were probably overvalued.
Gotta think that Ford would have been way more disruptive through 4 games than this. How many pressures does Ford have? |

It's not like QB's have to hold onto the ball very long. Not to mention the run D that allows many third and mediums/shorts.

Seems to me best case you could say for him is he got paid and doesn't care, but I don't think that's true. I'm not a coach and I don't watch all 22 but from what I've seen is he's just not great, or not currently playing great. He doesn't seem to get off blocks well, and his spin move usually ends up as a 180 and he just seems to be pushing his ass towards the tackle. He appears to be trying he just doesn't look particularly good or strong really.

He definitely plays the tackle. The tackle tells you everything you need to know. low hat, high hat, down block, drive block, reach block. NFL QBs are too good to just read them lol... Watch an overlay of manning, theres almost zero difference in his drop step on a pass, or a run. Of course Clark looks in the backfield, but he's playing the tackle too. |

So what I should've said is that Clark isn't just playing the tackle. |

Frank Clark is weaker than a clarinet solo.
