Brother's wasting his talents. Can totally be a part-time male model.

I heard lebron has seriously considered hiring claypool to train him in the art of the flop.

Cutting him and benching him are the same, isn't it? Either way he isn't on the field. As we've seen, even when he's on the field, he isn't on the field. I say cut him, and send a message. No loafs means no loaf. You either demonstrate the H.I.T.S. or you get the S.H.I.T.S.

Obviously not. Cutting is permanently giving up on him. Benching is sending a message and he can still get back on the field if he earns it in practice.

Exactly, his issue isn't that he's a bad player like velus. He's got a lot of talent, it just seems like he could care less and is just going through the motions.
Dude is the eddie goldman of WR's.

Exactly. Management needs to send a message to the players that this is not acceptable. At least bench him for several games to hurt him in a contract year. This game gave me the s.h.i.t.s.!

ESB would have blocked like a mad man while not catching his 2 targets.

Yeah this entire tape is kinda of BS.
1st play - This is not a loaf. He simply misses the block.
2nd play - He drops the pass because he is already trying to go upfield. Not sure how that is a loaf.
3rd - This is bad play design. I have no idea why Mooney is being asked to run 2 yards inside to try and block the DE who really cant get to the pitch when he would be in better position to block the guy Claypool is being asked to run 2 yards inside to block. They both miss their blocks and Claypool pulls up because if he doesn't it will be a block in the back. In fact Mooney gets away with a bit of a block in the back for the very reason that their blocking responsibilities make it almost impossible to get to the defender before he is already past them. Mooney should have blocked the guy Claypool is being asked to block which would allow Claypool to block the guy at the 2nd level and allow the guy coming across to be the lead blocker.
4th - Yes this was actually terrible on Claypool's part.
5th - This is misleading as pretty sure this is the play where he slowed down because Fields is scrambling and he actually makes a block on this play to help Fields.
6th - No idea why this is included as this looks like a decent enough route and if this is the int then Fields already admitted he should have gone to Claypool here one on one.
People don't critically think anymore. They just pile on to whatever is trending on Twitter. To call these loafs is quite dumb aside from the 4th one. To call the 5th one a loaf where the did blocks for Fields is really just dishonest editing.

Either throw it to him or run the play away from him. It's obvious that he can't block for shit. I probably wouldn't sign him long term though.

Yeah this doesn't refute anything I said. It is fine to hate Claypool or think he sucks. No reason to dishonestly edit film to make your case.
The fact they cut off the rest of this play to claim this was a loaf is just dishonest. You just have no objectivity to be honest about that fact.

Well, if Claypool doesn't even want to try, why bother putting him on the field or keeping him on the team?
Just a bottom-of-the-barrel type of player who would be an improvement over Claypool (there are 100s of these), might I suggest the Bears pick up Zack Kuntz from the Jets practice squad?
He is 6'8" and runs a 4.55, not quite Claypool speed but much taller than him. While Kuntz lacks good blocking ability, Claypool matches it with effort or lack thereof. The Bears can live without Claypool's only talent, that of getting personal fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I am sure that most CCS members could come up with a half-dozen replacement players for Claypool that are walking the street right now. Heck, there is a thread for a 7 footer NBA Center failure to be picked up as a field goal blocker or some such idea.
If Claypool would even try to not suck ...

Claypool was a man who was a bit too late for his time.
Imagine Claypool being Cutler's WR1
Cutler, "Who cares?"
Claypool, "Certainly not me!"
