I don’t think that’s it, at all.
We traded one of the biggest draft pick packages in history for Frank as well as giving him one of the biggest non qb contracts in history. Of course, when that happens, expectations are sky high. In his first 6 or 7 games, he looked like a bad player...or -at best- below average. Non impact.
When you give up that much, you expect elite field play. Especially with all of us cognizant of the fact Mahomes is on his rookie deal and that cap space and draft picks are huge opportunities to capitalize on the benefit of having a HOF quality QB on a rookie deal.
We were let down.
That doesn’t mean the trade can’t end up a success. It absolutely can if he closes out the season as what we paid for. A game wrecking difference maker...and gives us outstanding play the next few years. [Reply]

I’m talking about the “I’ll believe it when I see it” crowd in regards to the difference in him being healthy.
He’s not a rookie that just finally had a good game. He looked like the Frank Clark from Seattle last week. We’ve already “seen it”. [Reply]

Yes, and it makes sense.
I tried defending the guy early on but after a month and a half of not doing shit, it became increasingly more difficult to do so.
Even to this point, his season as a whole has been trash. He's had two monster games against replacement-level tackles, missed a couple to injury, and didn't do a damned thing in about six or seven of them.
This wouldn't have been the first time a defender found a new home on a max contract and never recaptured that old magic.. so, we wait and see if this recent trend is for real. [Reply]

Some of you guys really don’t watch the games and need to start doing that. [Reply]
