Frank Clark to KC!

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

Sources: The #Seahawks and #Chiefs are deep in talks on a trade to send star Frank Clark to KC. The compensation would include a 1st rounder, a 2020 2nd rounder and a swap of mid-rounders. To complete it, the franchise tagged player and Chiefs must hammer out a deal.

We gave up way too much.

Do you literally know nothing about the player?

Well, my goodness, if he racked up 13 sacks at 60%, what might he do at 100%?

Are you very familiar with football? See, most guys play with nagging injuries all the time.

Clark plays every week. With very few exceptions. And if you look at his 2018 highlight reel, then his 60% is pretty ****ing astounding.

compare with Ford's....uh...attendance record.

The guy's a beast. It's been posted and reposted, sacks, hurries, QB hits over the last three seasons, and he's neck and neck with Mack.

You can argue you think it was too much to give up, but arguing anything else just makes you look stupid.

If anything, you've raised my opinion of him. Playing through both of your UCLs being torn as a DE is some metal shit.

I don't have access to the medical records but clearly Seattle thought so. People are already spinning it and saying "boy, think about how well he's going to play when he's healthy. he's going to be the GOAT!" I certainly hope that's the case but that's super optimistic, there's just has many guys who have injuries that continue to nag them throughout their careers.

Ive sen some shit arguments before but a guy with the exact same number as Mack to start their careers, playing as a DE no less, who has missed 2 games in his life and put up good numbers when "hurt", has health issues?

Raush if you look at where we improved in the 3rd this year and the 2nd next year, we basically gave up a 2nd and 3rd round pick for Clark. Is that too much?

In a nutshell we gave up a 2nd and a 3rd and turned a low 3rd into a middle 3rd rounder and a likley very late second into a middle second rounder.

Soon that Mahomie contract comes due and there won't be any hiding in the comfortable arms of free agency, my man.

Little man better learn how to get his draft licks in NOW while he still has a chance.

Oh who's kidding who? We all know Reid is the guy pulling the strings on draft day anyway.

Mute point.

Hell by his standards, the Chiefs would be sitting around huffing bags all day long instead of drafting football players since they all get hurt at some point.

Let’s break this down.

The Chiefs would have almost certainly traded away a 2nd round pick to move up on Thursday had this deal not taken place. So that pick was a goner regardless probably.

They swap 3rd rounders and actually go up a bit.

So in a sense, the Chiefs traded up with a 2nd round pick, swapped 3rds, and took Frank Clark (because I think they would have done that Thursday for another player).

That’s not bad at all.

The tendency for human beings to just double down on a losing argument even when confronted with all evidence showing them to be wrong is always astounding.

You know, I'm always more impressed with someone who admits they were wrong than someone who just keeps doubling down.

I don’t have any problem with his play. I don’t like adding another possible problem child off the field.

I know right?! I'm even more on board now.

Question:

When does "next year" become "this draft" and we actually go in with a full deck and do something resembling competent work?

Seattle didn't feel like they could pay him because of the Russell Wilson contract and needed picks. Have no idea why you feel the need to push the narrative to anything else.
