Clark was and is good, but he was drafted by Thompson. He was drafted in 2016. He's 10 years in. Of course he's slowing down. It's time for somebody to help him - that would be the Gute picks and they aren't stepping up - at least not consistently.
Drafting a project never started in college in the First Round - As Arte Johnson said, "Very interesting but stupid." Keg Man says, "DUMB."
We don't seem to get too many positive impact players from Gute's drafting - even situational positive impact players. We seem to have many more negative impact players - dropped balls, tackling like turnstyles, stupid penalties, can't control themselves, not learning the plays, low hustle, etc...
Hope he's turned it around this year.
But, really, if the new President hinted that he was considering a new direction. Do you think anybody would be knocking on our door or Gute's door to take him from us?
