Injuries are unpredictable. Nelson blew his knee in a non-contact drill. Your point on that score is not valid.
I posted some clips of Clark getting beat badly in practice...pushed 5 yards downfield; getting knocked on his butt. We have not seen much different in preseason. In the regular season the competition only gets tougher. The progression of difficulty goes from practice to preseason to regular season.
"More knowledgeable" beat writers? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe they're the one's with a man crush. Or perhaps it would be unseemly to criticize a first round pick, especially if the coaches are saying good things which they are inclined to do with a first round pick.
Have I written him off in my posts? No, I did not. I said he's looked like a UDFA and he'd best get it in gear. That said, I don't believe he's a fit for NT. NT is not rocket science. Job #1 is hold your ground. He's not shown he can do that. Perhaps at DE he'd look better.
I was tempted to say if he's had the back issue from early in training camp I'd be more lenient. But I don't see any evidence of that.
