Anyway, hopefully this version of Frank Clark is here to stay. Even in the Denver game where he played pretty damn well I don't remember anything close to the level of moxie he showed against the Chargers. He finally looks confident. [Reply]

Yeah, me neither as I don't give a fuck about fools gold when it comes to the NFL ).
Anyway, what good is all of the offensive genius in the world if your greatest repeat attribute involves stepping on your own dick while wiping out the good work of multiple drives that came beforehand? I don't expect Tom fucking Cable to possess one tenth of Reid's pedigree or skill as a head coach. Do you?
Tyreek Hill's #1 fan says what?
Neck-bearded bitch.
You should have just stuck to being Clay's puppet. You really suck at coming up with your own opinions. [Reply]

Hold this L.
Hold it or I'll start bumping.
I presume this is what you're referencing:

At his very best he was only a good player. Never made a Pro Bowl; never made an All Pro team. His run defense was only ever solid. His pressure rates (which are usually more predictive) amounted to good production but not spectacular. Frank Clark has never had a single season at the top of his position.
That's why I was down on this move from the start - for this trade to be a success Clark couldn't even be as good as he'd been in Seattle - he had to be better than he'd EVER been in his career. He'd have to show a level he hadn't shown in 4 years under one of the better defensive coaches in the sport.
Too many fans saw him as the guy they really wanted him to be rather than the guy he'd established himself as in Seattle. He may still prove to be a good player here at some point - but he's not going to be a 'dominant' one.
He never has been. Veach is guilty of seeing what he wanted to see in Frank Clark - not what is actually there. And merely good players hit the wall overnight all the time due to a variety of things.
There's a real chance that this deal is a disaster when all is said and done.
I see nothing to back away from there. Clark wasn't a 'dominant' player in Seattle. He was a good player.
In KC he wasn't even an average player until finally demonstrating a new level of performance Monday Night. If Frank Clark is that level of player for 16 weeks then sure - he's a dominant player. But that's not who he's EVER been.
My point was that even a Clark who got himself back to the same level as his Seattle performance wasn't a dominant player. And at several points throughout this thread I openly acknowledged that injury may be holding him back and that I HOPED that was the case because doors number 2 and 3 (PEDs or Paycheck Player) meant that we were well and truly fucked on this deal.

He got off the ball so well too, looked more explosive.
I think the neck/arms thing had him playing kinda passive, afraid to just go balls to the wall. [Reply]
Frank Clark feels the LT leaving him and goes full sprint to the kickout block and meets him at the center while eliminating the cutback lane. Wilson takes over the edge and Hitchens gets through traffic to fill. #JacobsEyeInTheSky#Chiefspic.twitter.com/cEzQjU2r9y
