Ok, guys. Frank has stopped drinking and is serious about this season. I can’t stop drinking for more than 8hrs at a time so Clark’s abstinence is notable and impressive. He and Andy had a heart to heart, shared some cheeseburgers (Frank is probably now also vegan and went Impossible Burger), chugged some Mr. Pibb, and came to an understanding.
Watch his presser from today. It’s probably one of the most real and honest things I’ve seen from a player. If you’re rooting against Frank Clark after that you’re probably either repressing some demons in your life or are related to Red Dawg.
This is a safe space to celebrate Frank Clark this season. 8 sack minimum. Let’s build this guy up rather than choosing to spend the season breaking him down.
Join me on the Shark bandwagon. There’s blood in the water.
And the obligatory: keep doubting Frank fucking Clark. [Reply]
Had a chuckle reading DJLN's posts. Honestly thought I was Clark's biggest hater, but I'm an amateur, ha.
That said, hate to say it but there's only one player on the roster whose going to get more pressure than him by increasing his DE snaps, and it's Jones. You're not getting it from Karlaftis, Dunlap or Danna either, and the only one of those who looks like he's consistently setting an edge, surprisingly, is Dunlap. The rest are getting moved around every bit as pathetically as Clark. The saving grace for our other DEs is that's one's a rookie and none are expensive. [Reply]

The thread becomes an empty chair interview when guys congratulate themselves for how right they are about the re-emergent greatness of Frank Clark and then start sucking their own dicks about it.
I hadn't posted in this thread in about a month. And for the most part haven't said anything since before his suspension. But the bullshit was getting piled up just a little too deep in here...
Man you missed the whole "Frank Clark knocked Russell Wilson out of the game and none of you guys are giving him credit" saga.
Because apparently Clark getting pushed out of the play, and then hitting a Wilson in the head and landing on him after 15 yards and after Thornhill has already made the tackle is something Clark should get a round of applause for. [Reply]
Nah, he still kind of sucks. He's not horrible, just horribly overpaid. He's a rotational level player forced into playing majority snaps because we don't have anything else. [Reply]

Ah - The Clyde Edwards Helaire approach to roster management... [Reply]
It's really pathetic. Frank Clark's grandma wasn't as proud of him for making his first doodie in the potty than you guys are when he manages not to trip over his own feet.
I notice you didn't provide the breakdown for how he got to that figure against Houston....
You seem to have neglected to include his 56.3 pas rush grade in that game. In fact, his highest individual grade against Houston was a 78.2...in coverage.
So I guess it's time to add that to his resume - Frank Clark: Lockdown corner.
Clark's had 3 straight games w/ a pass rush grade below 60. He's had one pass rush grade above 70 (i.e. starting caliber) all season. Meanwhile he's had 6 below 60.
Oh, and even with all that, his pass rush grade on the season is actually HIGHER than his run stop grade. And his tackling grade is a laughably bad 30.4. That shitty tackler, Justin Reid, has a 49.8 by comparison.
Frank Clark isn't good at ANYTHING. He's not getting better at ANYTHING. His Denver game was his 2nd worst game of the season in week 14. His Seattle game was just another completely forgettable, sub-starting level performance. The only 'good' game he's had this season was the Houston game and that was fueled by, of all things, his coverage rating.
Not that it really matters, but if you go back and look at that strip play by Frank, Tunsil ducks his head and stops Clark's left knee for a fraction of a second with his right hand as Frank tries to cross his face, which is how he ends up on the ground. [Reply]
