Interesting Fieldgulls article regarding Clowney. Author skeptical of signing him to big $ even after sf.
https://www.fieldgulls.com/2019/11/20/2 ... wney-49ers
The author doesn't appear to have a clue of what he's talking about.
I got to the second paragraph and saw enough. He is spot on. A sack is tangible. Its a negative play.
There is no way to measure the affect of a hurry or a pressure. Quite frankly its a participation ribbon. Good QBs eat pressure. Elite QBs never feel it.
I hope many GM's feel as you guys do, and that helps keep the hype for Clowney down in the off season so we can sign him to a moderate long term deal.
It's why Houston chose Watt over Clowney, some don't see the value in disruption and pressure, and only with tangible metrics.
IMO that's shortsighted, and anyone who's watched our games this year can plainly see that Clowney's a game wrecker week in and week out, and I have NO problem paying him 20M a year.......especially since we've literally got no other elite DE's.
