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]

I was wrong. Obviously the $$$$ have to make sense but I trust the FO here.
He disappears for most of the season because of health or when he is on the field plays like a JAG. So we should pay him top $ as a reserve, break glass when needed for the playoffs? I would never do that but in Veach we trust. [Reply]

Nah - you had it right.
I feel like folks are overlooking that he was a JAG in the Jaguars game and flat out lousy against Philly. He played one decent game in the post-season. [Reply]

Again, we needed all hands on deck for the Cincinnati game.
I am open to him returning but the cap number now is unacceptable. [Reply]

Just go sign one of them.
Nope.
If we didn't/don't keep Frank Clark, we've gotta play with 10 defenders. That's how it works. [Reply]

Duckin' Clelin Ferrell probably gives you Frank Clark's regular season numbers, and he'll be pennies. Sign an Okoronkwo or Omenihu and you're in at least as good of shape as we were, and far less money. Draft your guy in the first couple of rounds and get on with your life. [Reply]

Honestly, Ferrell seems like the exact move Brett Veach would make. Former 4th overall pick and whatnot. [Reply]
