Yeah I don't agree with you guys. You can say a lot of great things about your new situation without knocking your former situation.
That Guy, I know the Steelers are said to have the best fan base. But that doesn't mean he needs to make the direct comparison to us. He can just say "I'm really excited about playing here in Pittsburgh."
If that was your idea of paying a complement to our fanbase, you must enjoy backhanded complements. Is the comment a big deal to me? No. He can go on and do his thing and come next season I probably won't even remember who he's playing for. But it's just unnecessary and I thought showed a little lack of class. That's all.
I can admire Lavar because he has said over and over how great this town has been to him. He has been gracious throughout his departure. Clark's comment was just not necessary though.
But whatever. We have Arch now, we're better off.

you play to your audience; he's a broadcasting (comm) major. He said we had a great fanbase. It wasn't a backhanded compliment unless you think being #2/32 is a huge diss. Arch and lloyd both made similar comments but without saying anything positive at all about their former teams.
If someone came here and just said "I'm excited to be here" it'd probably be considered really boring too ;)
champ insulted the skins; this isn't even close, and clark has consistantly said how he loved it here, how the skins gave hima chance to prove himself, about how he'd stay here for less, about how great the lockerroom is and how great his teammates are.
It's odd that you can ignore all the good things he's said and knock him for a single (perceived) sleight that may very well have been a compliment (again, unless you think we're #1/32 without any debate, but i doubt very much the skins are or need to be #1 in absolutely everything they do).

Clark has had plenty of other quotes saying how great his time here was and how he loved the team, fans and area, this dosent bother me at all.

I think he's been cool with the redskins; he just needed to leave for himself - he's got more money (probably) and a better situation. What more can he ask for. I don't think he's leaving out of spite for the redskins - I think he has a reasonable understanding of what the redskins had to do and also what he had to do. I wish him only the best because there is no reason to hate him for moving on. He's better off, the redskins are better off (at the safety position).

"I was trying to contain it a little bit. I'll be in the airport swinging my Terrible Towel and just getting ready to play. I am excited to come here. I was with a team with a great fan base and now I am with a team with an even better one "

chaps my ass JUST a touch, but however he was nothing but a model skin while he was here. you cant really say the skins didnt give HIM just a little of a screw job too. the skins need to improve, he wanted to be a starter. neither side could come to an agreement. good luck to him. i just wish he would have left off the last part of his statement.

I think Clark could end up being a nice fit in Pittsburgh. Sad to see my favorite current Redskin player go, but I'm glad he'll have an opportunity to start (assuming the Steelers don't keep Chris Hope). I'm wishing the man the best. :towel:
