Frank Clark - 47 games, 32 sacks, 31 TFL, 66 QB Hits

Khalil Mack - 46 games, 34 sacks, 39 TFL, 66 QB Hits

Ok, he was almost as productive as Mack at rushing the passer, but what about other facets of the game? Over that same period Mack was very clearly the more dominant all around player.

2016-2018

Clark
120 Total Tackles
77 Solo
7 FF
4 Pass Deflection

Mack
198 Total Tackles
152 solo
12 FF
10 PD

So if you want to say he rushed the passer as well as Mack that's fine, but Frank Clark is not Khalil Mack in any other way. Mack is elite in every aspect. FC had the luxury of playing on the 3rd, 14th, and 11th ranked defense in the league during those 3 years and KM was playing on the Raiders for 2 of those seasons. The Raiders were ranked 20th in both 2016 and 2017 and then he went to the Bears and was a big reason why they were the number 1 D last year. Clark has only ever done one thing really well and that is rushing the passer. Mack does everything well.
