You are very mean and shortsighted sometimes.
He WAS Eric Hicks last year.
Look at how infrequently he was doubled and how infrequently he won the rep. You’ve seen the graph I’m talking about. Check his win rates. Check any sort of objective measure of his performance.
He was a bad football player in 2020.
You’re incredibly myopic most of the time. [Reply]

He had 6 sacks, 15 QB hits and 8 TFL for crying out loud...
Oh FFS - I've defended dudes like Sorensen and Reiter. I've argued in favor of extending guys like Ward because he's simply a credible player at a difficult position. When everyone spent 3-4 years shitting on Fisher I called them idiots for it. This very day, in the CEH thread, when you're bagging on Clyde for not being Barry Sanders and being unable to outrun defenses to the pylon, I'm the one pointing out the insanity of those expectations.
I've never for one second devalued the contributions of merely solid players. I think they're invaluable.
Frank Clark isn't a solid player He wasn't a solid player for the majority of his first season, no matter how hard you guys tried to argue otherwise and blamed warm weather while congratulating him for almost making a play.
You have a soft spot for a bad player. I have no earthly idea why this is the case, but I'm clearly not going to convince you of it either. [Reply]
his effort in the Superbowl win won't be forgotten. But he is not a $100 mill guy. Whenever it's financially viable to cut him you gotta cut him. [Reply]

How's it bag on Shaq? That's a top 10 pass-rush win rate.
That's the problem with Clark - it isn't that he doesn't win reps or that he doesn't draw doubles. It's that he doesn't draw doubles AND he doesn't win reps.
Barrett, when left alone, won the rep. Clark didn't do anything like that in 2020. And you know this. [Reply]
