Let's examine this.
Why do we make trades? To improve our team.
Why? So that we can win a championship.
Frank Clark was a huge part of a culture change on defense. Bringing attitude to the defense.
His playoff run was phenomenal. Ended every game with a sack, and more importantly, talked MAD SHIT on Derrick Henry who had been taking the Souls of opposing defenses to the tune of 200+ rushing yards, and helped hold Henry to 67 yards rushing. After Henry was stoned back to back on 2nd and 1 and 3rd and 1, he never saw the football again in that second half.
Talked MAD SHIT down 10 in the superbowl, even when things looked grim. Frank was shouting yall know what we bout to do. We bout to send yall asses home.
It helped keep the defense in the game. Playing hard instead of folding when the offense kept turning it over.
Has Frank been worth the money? How much does that championship mean to you?
It means everything to me. I have friends and family who died before they could see the Chiefs win it all again. It validated over two decades of loyalty despite soul crushing losses year after year.
Frank was a huge part of making that happen. He was brought in to help win a title. And we won the title.
He hasn't been great since, but we absolutely won that ****ing trade.
