GLAD he's gone or would you KEEP.............................................

[Drink IRON City]

Chase Claypool formrly known as "clayPUFF", has taken to the fashion world week in Paris.

He is doing his thing and respectfully so, in the off-season.

Myself, for what we got in return, I am glad he us gone.

Had we kept him, I'd think we would be still calling him clayPUFF and battling his incompetence and soft-ness.

I think we came out for the better without him. Both in potential of Peazy Jr. and in the loss of a diva like attitude. Had high hopes after that rookie year, but…..

 

[steel dino]

Me thinks Chase might be a "fancy boy"?

 

[madinsomniac]

Me I’m pleased. The market for WRs was blazing hot, but even had he had an ok year last year, I'm not sure we could have gotten more than what we got for him last year. .
One weird thing is tgat we have done fantastic with third round and lower WRs the past few decades but honestly, our first and second round picks have all underperformed to an extent…

 

[Iron95]

I think both teams made out, but we made out better.

Glad he's gone. He had his opportunities in the burgh and did nothing with those opportunities. Showed the same in Chicago. Seems he'd rather be doing something else.

I think we got a steel. 1st round talent at CB for Him. If Austin and Pickens ends up doing well in the beginning of the season, I would look for a stupid trade partner for DJ

DJ would absolutely light it up with a competent offensive coordinator.

 

[BLITZ]

DJ would absolutely light it up with a competent offensive coordinator.

Agreed. But if Austin and Pickens light it up with same Coordinator, and if someone offers us a low second I would jump

 

[MT~Forged]

DJ would absolutely light it up with a competent offensive coordinator.

He would still drop passes at critical moments. He could be all world but he doesn’t have the ability to focus for a complete game, let alone a season.

 

[Drink IRON City]

I think he is a pretty boy who knows it and wants To be the glamorous NFL wide receiver.

Look at me………..

I’m just glad Chicago has to deal with him and if his light bulb ever turns on, then more power to him.

A couple years ago, DJ had a lot of drops. He worked hard and cleaned that up drastically.

He has had drops, but less than earlier in his career.

The problem has been that’s he seems to get a couple drops in a season that are in “EXACT” critical times of big games. Remember that our season has been critical to the very end to JUST sneak into the playoffs, so bigger magnifying glass.

The biggest problem with this offense, is the fact we have a very amateur OC.

Seems like the bears have buyer regret over Claypool. I think we traded him at the right time. He has alot of talent, but is lacking in work ethic and intangibles.

 

[TDX27]

Buh bye!!!!!

He really could be a Hall of Fame WR IMO, but like you said, he lacks the work ethic, drive, and competitiveness to be great. He's happy playing a game and being rich.

 

[Superman]

yeah, could have been a HOF WR with the talent he has, but he has the same drive that Mendenhall had.

I can see the Bears cutting him after next season.

 

[madinsomniac]

Say what you will about AB, but he had the single greatest work ethic any WR has had since Jerry Rice. If someone with Claypool’s talent had ABs drive and work ethic, he would be unstoppable

Wasn’t long ago, Mendy was spouting off about his SB fumble and how unjustified that it was a fumble…………..

He’s had other out cry’s but none justifiable.

I’d have to add, they would need Jerry Rice’s mentality as well, because with their respective mental, they wouldn’t do **** as they have shown that aspect.

HOFers don't lack in these areas.....typically anyways....or I would think.

That was my point

 

[stillwright]

That was my point

I know it was. You could say that about anyone though....No?

Being a Canadian who cheers for ND I couldn't have been happier with the pick or his rookie season. Then his bullshit talk started. I didn't see that coming. I think he has the skills and the tangible. But in this game if you are mentally soft and say dumb **** you don't last long.

 

[SanDiegoSteeler]

Give me just a little of the heart and soul of a Hines Ward with our current crop of talented WRs.
They would be unstoppable.

CMT should make a highlight reel and make it mandatory viewing.
