Pass
He's old, can't block, and he couldn't catch last season. The Bears would be much better off drafting a TE |

Yea, he was considered good back when TE's weren't doing that much. By todays standards he is pretty weak

I don't want Dallas Clark because of the aforementioned reasons, but this is just not true at all. The guy had some great years with Manning, and put up some really good numbers.

Yep... Clark was a top TE for a while and put up some great numbers. But he's past his prime and I can't see us being interested in him for any reason.

Ugghh, alright now I had to go actually look up the stats
Dallas Clark
REC YRDS
03- 29 340
04- 25 423
05- 37 488
06- 30 367
07- 58 616
08- 77 848
09- 100 1,106
10- 37 347
11- 34 352
WTF are you talking about dude? What I said was totally true, by todays standards those numbers are nothing special, just for fun I looked at Olsens stats with us and his first 4 years demolish Clarks, Im not going to go through every TE to prove my point but pretty much most TE's are expected to put up in the 400 to 500 yrd range these days, and while Clark has done that 5 out of 9 times, to say that what I said was "totally untrue" and that "he had some GREAT years" is kind of silly.
To look at someone who would be good even by todays standards that is Clarks same age, check out Gates

While 08 was his second best year its hardly GREAT, anyway though my original point was that its silly to call me out for saying he wouldnt be good by todays standards when last year alone there were 7 TE's over 800 yrds and 7 more OVER 750 yrds, (14 TE's total over 750 yrds)
TE's today are good, Clark was never fast, and never that great, say whatever about aging

In either case....I don't think anyone here is saying they want him...he's done.

Hold up...you do realize when Dallas Clark came into the league he was the fastest TE don't you? That he was the original 4.5 TE and is the reason we have the Jimmy Graham's and Jermichael Findlay's we do today. Clark damn near created the flex TE position.
Oh and this whole "he can't block thing" is totally bogus, at Indy he was never asked to block, at Iowa many analysts considered him the best blocking TE in the country, you don't forget how to do that. I'd also be interested to see on those years up there how many games were missed in those seasons.

Haha, the point of this whole thing was that Clark is not good by TODAYS standards, thats it man....we are in total agreement basically
And ok 4.5 is pretty fast, i will give you that.
