I actually heard this yesterday when the NFL network was describing the Ravens game and how they are happy with their elite acquisition at WR in Maurquise Brown and his 2TD 50 yard performance. What a great first round pick! The Ravens have to be patting themselves on the back with that one!

Really? They did such a great job, they drafted 2 more WRs this year?

Here's Brown's elite stats this year:

58rec 769yds 8TDs 13.3y/r

Here's our rookie Chase Claypool:

62rec 873yds 11TDs (9rec) 14.1y/r

Brown is the go to receiver in Baltimore. He gets most of their targets. Claypool is a role player with 6 starts. Claypool's stats are better than Browns, and way better than Brown's rookie year. I'd expect HB to have a much better yards per catch, since Lamar is not a possession down thrower.

For the rest of our division:

Duverney and Proche are limited in their skillsets and are best utilized as returners.

Browns killed it with Peoples Jones. That kid can ball and will be a thorn in our side for years.

Same with Higgins in Cincy. How can the Ravens, in the single greatest WR draft in our history, draft 2 guys that had average skillsets?

The Ravens lamented when we took JuJu, and are hating it that we have Claypool. While their version of Dri Archer continues to under impress me.

As sad as it is.. he probably is the best WR they drafted since.. Torrey Smith or Mark Clayton? That is pathetic drafting at the WR position. Brown might be the best WR they drafted in franchise history lol.. seriously.

EXCELLENT Post Cope and with all that being said, I feel the STEELERS slightly under utalize Chase Claypool with this short pass / jet sweep crap. I realize the "D" dictates to a degree but CHASE is not a RB and has no desire to crack heads. What he does desire is a little of what he showed yesterday against the Browns, SUPERIOR contested catches. (Combat catches). He is getting better at these with each passing experience.




Salute the nation
 
Who the **** calls themselves Hollywood? and MOST Ravens fans call him Bollywood, until yesterday he is a HOF again. I will give them credit however for Dobbins, especially with Ingram, Edwards and just drafting Hill a year a go or so. Steelers had their chance at him and many others before settling on McFarland. Horrible always tries to run the score up in late games to bring back his fan base as they are not knowledgeable to know when to cheer or support. A big win fills the bandwagon back up.

Things OK in "Copeville"? Your recent posts have had an edge to them that I'm not used to seeing from the usually upbeat and positive Cope.
Hope you and yours are doing well.

They might be worse at drafting receivers than we are at drafting corners.
 
Brown is good, but for all of the studs drafted after him they definitely didn't hit it out of the park. I understand most of those guys were drafted later and ranked lower, but they passed on A.J. Brown for Hollywood. He was a guy who was a surefire first-rounder and I guy I wanted for the Steelers with their top pick.

Screw you Buckeye, I'm just fine and dandy...

Actually the wife could be helping a little more with my recent demeanor...

In Brown's defense, if Ben was throwing to him, he'd have much better stats.

Either Brown or the Browns.

EDIT: They would all have better stats !

Brown is small and Jackson can only hit him when he's wide open because his accuracy sucks. Brown will go to another team when he's a free agent and have a better career as a Mike Wallace type one trick pony.
 
Speaking of Marquise. I'm watching Treehouse Masters from 2018. They are building AB a tree house, Steel City Skybox. ...LOL

Their best since Torrey Smith. Baltimore has always been known for their defense, well so do us.

I'm hoping that was a sarcastic post.

Of he is referring to my many posts on Claypool then yes. Heavy with sarcasm....but as I did point out his play has dropped since early in the season. Hopefully he gets back to early form. We will need him if we want to get where we want to go.

For a first year rookie, I'm happy with him. Can he get better? Yes. Is his ceiling high? Very much. He has played a lot of football and is adjusting. I look forward to him in the next 2-3 years what he really can do.

I agree. He needs to hold onto the ball though when it hits his hands on those jump balls. He did early on. Now it is hit or miss for what ever reason. That goes for all our guys. When they just catch the ones they should we were unstoppable at times. Then we got a good case of the dropping the ball. The last 2 games it seems our guys might have put the drops behind them. Let's hope so.
