    Any chance we could require that course for TSF posters?

    This. His being absent from more then a handful of snaps is mindboggling. He won't be here next season.

    I’m pretty sure that was because of his drops. He dropped a lot of them, but lord knows he put in the work. From all reports he’s still working hard everyday on that issue.

    Claypool is a victim of his own success. He pretty much exploded on the scene. It appears from the outside he hasn’t really worked on his craft. His routes are lazy. He’s on the ground way too much. With that being said we don’t put him in the best position for success. A lot of his targets are jump balls which are low percentage plays to begin with. It would be nice if we could hit him in stride on higher percentage passes and let his physical gifts takeover. However, both route running and qb play will have to improve for success in that area.

    Definitely not, I would have him on the field more personally but there must be a reason that they are playing Ray Ray instead. I can’t see what it is however.

    30 targets so far for JW this year. In 2019 he had 700+ yards and was very good at times. I know he can have trouble getting separation but I doubt he has regressed to the point where you can’t put him on the field. He is also a decent blocker.

    You still want to defend Claypool, he got a penalty for putting finger in the opponent face in front of the ref :facepalm:.
