I would argue that Clark is just a tick below. And that this first 2 games is a tiny sample size, and that even within that tiny sample size, his play has been fine and compare favorably with Mack. The sacks will come.
Statistically, his 2018 was very comparable to Mack, the best edge player in football. Half a sack more and nearly 1/3 more QB hits.
As for disruptive, he's been very disruptive. He's been very good against the run, has blown up some screens, and has required extra attention/game planning from opposing offenses to keep him contained. Pretty soon, teams will have to abandon that and we'll see the sacks come in bunches.
I say anyone claiming he sucks is just flat wrong and doesn't know what they're talking about.

We agree on the core of the argument. My only point is a 2 game comparative sample is not really viable.
There are probably quite a few guys with better stats after two games than Mack, but that doesn't mean they're better players or have been as disruptive.
Which is exactly the reason I'm not in a panic because Clark isn't stuffing the stat sheet. He's a really good player, and he'll have his games.
