I Feel Bad for Chase Claypool

[Stryker]

Chase is having a terrible year. I was doing some research and came across this nugget.

Chase is 2-14 this season. That's worse than the 2-13-1 Texans. We'll see how the last week goes, but I'll be rooting against Chicago for a shot at that sweet #32 pick!

How incredible for a player to have a worse record than the worst team in the league. That's how bad we were guys. He spent 8 games with us and his only 2 wins were in the black and gold.

His numbers are dogshit.
PIT: 32rec 311yds 1TD (1 TD throwing) 8 rush 55yds
CHI: 12rec 111yds 0TDs 1rush 4yds

Chicago gave up a 2nd for him and they aren't even using him. Look at his snap counts:
PIT 462
CHI 164

If this continues, we may get him back after his rookie contract is up...

 

[FordFairLane]

Wouldn't that be a kicker. Rent him to Chi-town for two years and then sign him cheap because his numbers are trash there.

 

[bkwheat28]

Yeah, that is incredible. But ya know, if he acted like a mature professional athlete and not the show boat wannabe I’d like to think he would still be here. But yes, to be worse than the worst team is an incredible feat.

 

[steel dino]

Really mind boggling ....His rookie year was outstanding and he had the look of a future All-Pro.

Go figure?!?

 

[BLITZ]

I have no bad feelings for the guy hope he does well them

There are a couple interesting interviews out there with his various coaches… he just is way behind in too much apparently… he probably will bee a different player with a full offseason to get him in line with what they want him to do… his routes here were extremely limited

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

He likes his own farts too much.

Nice research Stryker, thanks for the input and all your great post(s) along the way.

Chase ClayPUFF was a nick-name that may turn out to be fitting. I feel for the guy but jeepers, with his size and speed….. toughen up. This off-season he needs to practice without pads or rules and learn how to out muscle.

I never wish bad and hope he can muster his way by helping himself by getting over himself.


Salute the nation

They must not throw his way much having only 12 receptions. I dare say " they aren't using him properly ".

He was actually pretty good as a route runner. His rookie year he became the blocking WR on 1WR sets which run X routes. He was a Z when he put up his big numbers, then moved to slot this past year when JuJu left. He knows the whole route tree and can play all three spots.

When a team gives up a #2, they expect a starting WR who contributes weekly. Not a project.

Yeah, that is incredible. But ya know, if he acted like a mature professional athlete and not the show boat wannabe I’d like to think he would still be here. But yes, to be worse than the worst team is an incredible feat.

If he could catch he would still be here. Probably one of the softest 6'5" 245 pound guys ever to suit up. He would get 2 hands on the ball and a 5'8" DB would touch(graze) his elbow and the ball would pop out. His showboating and self promoting of course didn't help. I am sure Tomlin would have overlooked though.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

They just arent playing enough music in Chicago.

show much this ☝️

 

[SteelerSask2]

I am Canadian. Wanted him drafted so badly. Was so excited when they got him and his rookie year. Then the cracks started to show. His top three wr. Comment was so beyond ridiculous. Clearly there were issues behind the scenes too because the Steelers are not usually big mid season traders. Then he started talking about how he was gonna make the trade a steal for the bears. He could still have a decent career but he needs to learn to STFU. As far as him coming back. I'm ok moving on.

 

[Troglodyte]

He gets paid regardless, I’m not about to feel sorry for him.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Don't get me wrong glad the Steelers hung on for the hapless Bears instead of the middle of the road Packers. But I do feel he has no chance whatsoever to showcase himself heading into the final year of his rookie deal. Fields runs half as much as he passes. Over 150 yards is a big night. I'm not sure how Moss and Rice would look with that guy.

Why would we want him back?

I have no ill will toward him, heck I thought he’d return to rookie form this year…but he seems to have regressed.

Teams are worse when he is on them…I’d pass, maybe kick the tires for league min haha…he was never used properly

 

[Skott]

And he still has more TD’s this season then Johnson has

My only thought on the subject now is, do the Steelers trade up (hopefully only 1 spot), back into the 1st round to get the 5th year option on whoever they draft with the pick? Whoever they get should be considered a 1st round talent with consideration to only 31 picks in round, with Miami lost pick.

 

[Litos]

I think he was injured for some games with the Bears

He wasn't even top 3 on this team! He will get next year to prove himself. If he doesn't put some decent tape out there it may be over for him soon in this league. There are enough prima donna receivers in the league. No use on any team for one that doesn't produce!

Well unless the Q gets substantially better zero chance of that.

He'd still be our top slot option and that is an upgrade over all of our other WRs. He also gives us starting Z ability if GP went down. We lost a lot of depth when we traded him, but that value is unreal.
