DieHard 2,061 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sorry if this has been posted. I didn’t see it. They rank Ford as the (20th best player and Clark at 39. That’s crazy. Clark does so much more than Ford. I hope this pisses Clark off. Others ranked above Clark. Reiter, Fuller, Hardman, Wiz,. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Wondering if it’s because Clark played while injured thus not being 100% and hurting his PFF vs Ford got hurt and sat out all together instead of playing at less than 100% thus not effecting his PFF?

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Frank Clark in 7 playoff games has 7 sacks, 11 QB hits and 15 pressures. All while setting the edge (something PFF gives you no credit for) and never lining up offsides. Dee has his moments. Great Part time one trick pony who’s simply not asked to do nearly what Spags asks Clark to do. When’s he’s actually available. This is like analytics over reality. Has clear value, but very shortsighted. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I mean clark did have a rough first 8 games. I would guess he was something like the 90th best end in the league the first 8 games and the #1 ranked the last 8 games as i vast over generalization.

sith13 1,746 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Clark started the year absolutely terrible, missing tackles and barely holding his own against any OTs. I'm not surprised he's ranked so low, in fact it's definitely expected. The surprising part is Ford's ranking being so high. He sat out whenever he was injured, which helps his stats but when healthy he was nowhere near Clark's performance. Still a one-trick pony that can't do anything against the run.

xen 1,010,220 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It's because the 9ers don't even try to play Ford against the rush. Armstead plays the rush downs and Ford comes in on passing downs. Pretty much the 9ers paid Ford all that money to be a part time player. Since the 9ers have effectively negated the half of Ford's game that is awful, of course he'll have a high score. On Clark, their grades are cumulative so his score will be dragged down by the first half of the season when he wasn't playing so well. Analytics is awesome but context matters. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more terrible takes from PFF as usual. Fuller is ranked above him. Dude is not even a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,662 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 To be fair, I haven't really watched many 49ers games this year. But the Dee Ford I know pretty well is not capable of carrying Frank Clarks extra large jock. And I definitely would not want to play Derrick Henry or the 49ers running game with Dee Ford leading the charge. mex and oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark battled through that neck injury and the virus that caused him to lose 30 pounds. The guy is an absolute warrior but it clearly impacted his play big time. Since November he’s been a force. And he brings intangible toughness hard to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put it in context it makes sense. Fuller same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
