    I keep hearing people say how talented Claypool is, but is he really? He's big and fast, but it's always struck me how uncoordinated he is for an NFL WR. The guy can't catch a football without falling down, and that's if he catches it at all. It's as if he's afraid to reach out his arms and grab the ball, lol. Anyway, I don't see him doing anything for the Dolphins.

    I seriously doubt that he'll be around long enough to get that chance.

    He was playing good during the smoke and mirrors segment of that season, that's my point.
    Miami is winning now, also my point.

    I think it’s Miami having a big head thinking they can make something of him. Think about how bad not just on game day but during the week Claypool must have been for the Bears to cut bait already after using a 2nd rd pick on him.

    This will blow up in Miamis face as well but at least they didnt use a high draft pick on him. We’ll see if he hurts them during games when he sandbags it because he’s not getting the ball just as he did in Chicago.

    Maybe he'll be humbled playing with someone immensely superior to him in Tyreek Hill. Claypool is explosive, but not what I would consider a talented receiver by any means. Miami has a very creative offense with a lot of motion, so maybe he can find some of his rookie magic running plays similar to the ones he ran during his successful rookie year.

    Miami has the pieces in place to make it work. It also helps that everything about their offense, from position coaching to paycalling is light years ahead us or the Bears.

    Miami didn't invest much in him but I could see him being a stiff there too.
    I doubt he'll be given a very big role until he proves he's onboard.
    I'm rooting for him.

    I think that's(pink) breast cancer only, but I'm not 100% certain.

    Depends what you mean by blow up in their faces. Using the literal meaning of that term, I disagree. If he becomes a problem, Miami will quickly cut him. They have little invested in him so they won't let him become a distraction like he was for the Bears, although they didn't tolerate his BS for long either.

    That is correct. Pink is for breast cancer awareness. My mother-in-law was a 45 year breast cancer survivor so that’s near and dear to my heart.

    Ditto

    My wife just made ten years

    When she was diagnosed we were about to go to Costa Rica

    Instead for each day of the week we went to radiation treatment early morning and late afternoon

    We decided to make lemonade out of lemons so after the morning treatment we went and did tourist things around Pittsburgh and after the afternoon treatment we went to an international restaurant both what we would have done on vacation

    Makes sense. I don't think Miami picked him up cause they're in dire need. It's a low risk, high reward trade.

    If Wes Welker can teach this kid how to high point the ball, then it's paid off immensely.

    not as good as the Minkah trade. By the way, some here squawked and cried at the Claypool trade - how wrong you were.

    and what did we get for Claypool? We don't know you because Tomlin wont play him....

    From what little we've seen of Porter, he's looked good

    Claypool was active yesterday but I don't think he played on offense yesterday despite Waddle's injury.He did not had a single target
