If he's healthy he's target #2. Just my opinion based on what I read about camp.
Disagree............a healthy Mooney has been a solid #2 WR in the league and has more chemistry with Fields than Claypool. To be honest I hope they both have great season's and make it difficult for Poles to choose, if it comes down to that.

Bears currently have 9 players with injury listings. League average is 11+. So much for that narrative about too many injuries
I have no factual data to back up the opinion I am about to convey; I thus acknowledge that it is highly subjective. I think for me the injury alarms come from the apparent concentration of injuries along the offensive line. I mean everyone but Braxton Jones has missed time. Considering how critical that is for the team's success, it's troublesome.

Most of the posters on this board go to extreme to find a way to use the word "dick" in a reply or post.
Strange bunch of perverts!!!
I'm not sure what the dick you are dicking about. I haven't notice any excessive dickering on CCDickS.

Troublesome how?

Making a mistake in spending a 2nd on a WR is no reason to put an average at best WR high on any priority list other than cut candidates. What does Claypool bring to the table that a rookie 1st round WR wouldn't bring? What does Claypool bring that any other free agent WR next couldn't bring for similar or less money? What does Claypool bring to the table that Mooney doesn't already?

This coming offseason the Bear will keep money available for the potential number 2 WR across from Moore, but it won't be for Claypool.

6-4, 235 with 4.4 speed. How many rookies or vets have those measurables?

Remains to be seen if he puts it all together but that is why they traded for him.

He will have to earn his next contract with the Bears, we get to see him. If he is the real deal, then you can compare his value to the assumed value of a rookie in the draft. Let the man play...

Seems like he's going to be another Alshon situation where the guy just can't get away from having multiple soft tissue injuries. Should of traded for C.Ridley.

So concerned about a guy with an injury history but should have traded for a guy with a mental health and gambling history. Makes sense.

Well I could be wrong...but I can't remember the Browns nor the Vikes ever really developing young Qb's. Maybe the Browns will develop Dorian Thompson-Robinson


You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit. He sucks, some players just can’t be developed.
Yes...there are lousy players out there. The flip side.......
On any team....the scouts are tasked with finding good players i.e. diamonds in the rough. The coaches are in turn tasked with developing talent. If misses keep happening.....then somebody's not doing their job.
I gotta look up my analysis on Mond. I'm pretty sure I had him tabbed as a developmental prospect, not a starter

Dorian Thompson Robinson was a fluid athlete with good accuracy and pocket presence. Mond was a terrible qb who was a good athlete. You just happen to be fond of any qb of a certain ethnicity whether they suck or not.

It is worth pointing out that the same people screaming this were also bitching about the prior head coach not being intense enough when he sat starters in preseason.
Literally all you do year after year is bitch about what negative posters say.
