So because the Niners made a huge mistake in trading away all those picks for Lance and have been a fixture in the playoffs and made the NFCCG somehow makes it ok for Poles to trade away a 2nd round pick and finish the season dead last??
Listen I understand the point you are making, if Fields can make the leap and Claypool can get him there...than it doesn't matter that a 2nd round pick was sacrificed. But he hasn't made that leap yet and if he does I think it will be more because of Moore than because of Claypool. I am sure next offseason when Claypool is signing that 1 year deal with the Texans, we will look back and praise Poles for giving up a second round pick for Claypool.
No I am saying in the end all that matters is Fields developing and Bears becoming a contender. So I will evaluate the Claypool trade based on how he impacts those things not his individual numbers and certainly not on a 22 season that we were not trying to compete.
I admit I am jumping the gun on Claypool, I just don't see it. I see him as average at best and will have a career that sees him on probably 2 to 3 more teams bouncing around having a couple good games each season that gets people excited in thinking he will finally reach his potential.
But I get a lot wrong on a lot of things, so maybe Claypool needed the change of scenery with more time to learn the offense. I'm sure after Claypool has that one game where he catches a bomb from Fields for a TD this will get bumped for @remydat @Spitta Andretti and you to dunk on me. So lets see how 2023 plays out
I don't bump threads and I dont dislike people who disagree with me because the internet is not that serious. Now if someone tries to misrepresent an argument then I may go find what was actually said anf post it.
