That said, Clark is nothing special and his contract pays him like he is. He is good against the run and a solid overall but he doesn't do anything great. You can say stats don't tell the whole story which is true but what is he doing that is so great that stats don't show? Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see it.
If Chiefs released him tomorrow you think another team would sign him to contract we did? Come on..
He's just not worth his contract. Plain and simple. You could argue 'hey we are winning with him so he is worth it!' Sign another guy half his price to show up just in the playoffs and trash talk we would still be winning. He's a role played being paid like a superstar.
The Kansas City Chiefs won a superbowl championship due to a culture change on defense that largely involved Frank Clark.
I addition to "being good against the run and solid overall" (which by the way, we were not even close to being before at his position), he brings an element of swagger to the field.
Closed out each playoff game with a sack, taljed mad shit on Derrick Henry before helping hokd him to 67 yards, and continued talking mad shit on defense in the superbowl against the Niners after Patricks late interception.
D could EASILY have gone in the tank, and instead, He's running his mouth "Yall asses are going home.". Defense was HUGE late in that game making big stops so Pat could do his hero thing.
Frank Clark is worth every fucking penny we paid him. That title is priceless.
We've been to back to back superbowls and won one, something a lot of members and friends here died never getting to see.
Worth every penny, even if he never plays another down. [Reply]

1000% this.
I'm disappointed with how this is going to end obviously, but we don't win that Super Bowl without him. We just absolutely don't.
I'll pay $100 million of Hunt's money for that win any day of the week. [Reply]
Sammy was our leading postseason receiver in both 2018 and 2019 iirc and Jones had so many huge plays in the SB, including forcing the pressure that gave Breeland the INT and multiple pass bat downs in the 4th. [Reply]

I think that may end up being a very silly post.
Clark
Reed
Wharton/Nnadi
Jones
That’s an elite DL that won’t be able to do anything to single anyone out and I think Frank will produce a lot more this year than in the 2 previous years. Teams will slide protections away from Frank trying to slow down Reed and Jones so Frank will have more opportunities to rush the passer against an “honest” OL. [Reply]
I read a report Chris Jones gave him his weight. The idea is Clark is saving up for when he gets sick in December with that stomach thing he has. So it'll all balance out in time for the Playoffs. To the SHIP!! [Reply]
