LOL... I don't think he's making this team. This signing will do nothing to affect the Bears search for more edge players

It's kind of sounding like the bears may have gotten steals with both CBs

Hello Bears fans, in his third year (presumably his prime) Chase Claypool ranked ninety-sixth in the NFL in receiving yards. The dude's career is circling the drain. Would you say every single receiver taken after the first round this year will be worse than Olamide Zaccheaus, Josh Reynolds and Greg Dortch? Because that's Claypool's company (honestly an optimistic appraisal).

Think hes just standing next to a fat redneck, so it makes him look thinner than he is.

In Marshall Faulk’s 3rd year, he averaged 3ypc and had 587 rushing yards. In Randy Moss’s 9th year he had 587yards. I’d easily rather have the 32nd pick but the logic you are using is just simply illogical. You are using cherry picked data to support your premise and ignoring the injury issue and going to one of the most run heavy teams that didn’t particularly pass the ball well for a variety of reasons.

You accuse me of using cherry picked data yet you're the one using two examples that are both over a decade old of down years for Hall of Famers to say that Chase Claypool is what...Randy Moss?
Chase Claypool has never finished in the top thirty of receiving yards at the end of a season. Not once. Last year he barely squeezed into the top hundred. There is nothing cherry picked about my assertion that Claypool was at his best a good-not-great player, and that his best years are probably behind him. You disagree because in 1996 Marshall Faulk had a "down" year, which was still over a thousand scrimmage yards, and hilariously only thirty fewer receiving yards than Claypool's third season despite playing in the nineties and playing runningback.

I like poles and the way he’s building this team but let’s not pretend his trades have been mostly him getting it in the booty hole.
The trade with the panthers was spot on the rest of the trades thus far have been him getting fleeced. Not terribly fleeced like pace trading up for gems like Anthony Miller and trevis Gipson, but the value is less than. Hopefully he’ll learn as he grows in this role.

The Chase Claypool trade is like three tiers worse than the Trevis Gipson trade. Even Anthony Miller didn't cost the Bears as much as Claypool did.
At least with Miller you couldn't quite predict how he'd do in the pros just due to the uncertain nature of college scouting. Claypool had worn out his welcome in Pittsburgh (a franchise that certainly has proven to know wide receivers) and nobody bothered to ask why.

lol this is hilarious, you prob also think that growth is linear in football right?
so you isolate his 3rd year without any circumstance...well then by that logic, diggs, metcalf, brown, cooper are all busts because they had shitty 3rd year stats.

I know he was the best football player in the world for about eight weeks there, but looking back its hard to say any trade Ryan Pace made was worse than the Khalil Mack deal. The Bears got one good-yet-disappointing season out of it then languished for years.
Just because the Raiders threw away the picks on a runningback and Damon Arnette doesn't mean the Bears couldn't have used those picks to have something other than a lost half decade mired below mediocrity with still seemingly no way out.

Yes it should have been the ravens 2nd. There’s no way he gets value back from that trade, claypool will be fine but not 1st round fine.
Joey Porter would most likely be a bear too. **
