Part of it I think is that the other DE spot has been so hit and miss. Teams can put more resources to a single DE and let the other one do whatever. [Reply]

Wait what? Chris Jones does 99% of the dirty work for the DLine. He gets his own and he sets up the DEs to get theirs. Clark benefits from Jones 100 times more than Jones benefits from Clark. [Reply]

Well the difference between Chris Jones and Frank Clark is that Chris Jones is an elite HOF talent and Frank Clark is just above average. Elite players consistently get pressure and make an impact throughout the game, but above average players go stretches where they don't look very good. [Reply]

I'd rather pay $100 mil for a guy to ball out in the playoffs. If he was the reason we lost HFA, then I would bitch again, but I'll keep my mouth shut until he sucks in a post season, if/when that happens. [Reply]

Should have put Chris Jones in that post as well. While he doesn't have the sacks, he has been collapsing the pocket consistently and getting a ton of QB hits and pressures forcing bad throws. [Reply]
