Summary of the video's arguments -- some of which are argued better than others:
1. Never fully healthy.
2. This chart:
3. We ranked in the bottom 3rd in 2020 in passrush despite dropping major coin along the DL.
4. 6 sacks in 2020 -- there was a 7 game stretch where he had 1, and 2 sacks in the last 10 weeks of the season.
5. He doesn't change the run defense all that much.
6. 2020 postseason was "pedestrian" -- 9.8% pressure rate.
7. All of this despite being slotted next to Chris Jones.
8. As you can see in the above chart, Clark is rarely double teamed.
9. The Chiefs didn't restructure Clark this offseason, because they don't want to make it harder than it needs to be to cut him after 2021 -- saves $13m.
10. 2021 is a make-or-break year for Clark.
The good news is that Jarran Reed, like Chris Jones, is a beast in "sacks created," which should help our edge rush. [Reply]
I would think that every team has players who are on contracts that are not performing. Three straight AFC Championship Games and Two straight Super Bowls.

How high should these guys jump?
Dude you know Frank totally made Dee Ford jump offsides Pat's first season as a starter. [Reply]

Yeah I'm not sacrificing any asset or cap for a WR with injury issues on the wrong side of 30. What people dont understand is this bolstered offensive line is we dont need a true #2 with Robinson and Pringle you have 2 complementary guys who know the system give Mahomes time which he will have theres no reason they cant produce 60 catches and 6 TDs which is probably the best you'll get from Jones at this point. You're still getting that production at way less of a cost.
As far as Clark yeah hes been underwhelming aside from the 2019 post season. Defense was still top 15 both years and oh yeah made the super bowl of each. So to say Clark is a problem is dramatic we can walk from him, re-sign Brown, Figure out Hill & Mathieus contracts, make some free agency moves AND have all of our draft picks.
I just dont understand some peoples mentality on here. It's like they think this is Carl Petersons mid 90s-2000s Chiefs. Its clearly not. [Reply]

Pre-Andy, this organization was a shit show. I would say our darkest era were the Pioli years. [Reply]

Piolis problem was he was such a dickhead with inept coaching hires nobody wanted to sign here. With Carl it always seemed like we had an aging team with a small window so you had to make moves like trading for someone like Jones. The Chiefs window will remain open with Mahomes and provided were able to resign Brown and Hill. This team trading for Jones makes no sense. [Reply]
Scratch that Piolis biggest problem was being married to Cassel but his free agent moves were limited I believe because anyone worth a damn didnt want to play for that regime. [Reply]

I must have missed something. Are you talking Julio Jones? [Reply]

Hell even UDFA didn't want to sign and they probably had the best chance to play. [Reply]
