I regret responding in the first place and weren’t you throwing a bitch fit about discussing this like a month ago ? Yet here you are
The discussion was about Ridley vs Claypool not the Claypool trade by itself. It is kind of pointless discussing Claypool without discussing what the alternatives were. So @dabears70 brought up Ridley which at least that is an alternative.
What some of you guys like to do is ramble on about Claypool without explaining what you would have done differently. People complain Claypool is essentially a first round pick even though the pick was not that high when the trade was made, but the flip side is Claypool struggling and being hurt meant we slumped to not only the top pick of the 2nd but also the top pick of the 1st..
So let's say we had signed Kirk and drafted Pickens last year. Them playing the whole season means Bears finish with a better record and so no 1st pick and no DJ Moore.
So instead of bitching let's hear your alternative as if the question is do you prefer we signed Kirk, drafted Pickens and kept the 2023 2nd or do you prefer Moore, Claypool, a 2024 first and a 2025 2nd then my vote is on the latter.
If you just want to moan about Claypool without explaining who you wanted instead then yeah that is just stupid.
