    So much promise his rookie season. I dont believe talent sunk Claypool, it was being lazy and football not being his top priority. Too busy trying to build his brand.

    If he has his head on straight now and they wanted to give him the vet minimum and let him compete for a job, probably would be worth kicking the tires. Competing means just that though, he needs to earn a roster spot.

    I agree, but....
    I believe change in Qbs had a lot to do with it.
    It's not magic that both DJ, and Claypool who looked good with Ben both turned bad, and can't stay on a team since He left.

    Yeah if McCarthy doesn't allow music at practice that will be a deal breaker for Claypool.

    Footwork on route running was terrible. Couldn't catch a ball without leaving his feet. No thanks.

    I think it was Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races".

    If he wanted to reform, he should have done it 4 years ago. Now he's just an older version of himself that ran out of money.

    Don't get me wrong, I love seeing young men figuring things out, but I'm not sure if that is what this is. If he comes in to work out and works his ass off to get a hat...good for him. I just don't know that it can happen at this point or that he even deserves the opportunity.

    Ben was not a fan of Claypool that last season together. As far as I know nothing was ever said about it publicly, but you could just tell the way Ben would stare Claypool down after plays. A similar reaction to Rodgers talking about how everyone is in the film room together but some players still just don't get it.
    I wouldn't want Claypool back on the team in any capacity. But especially when trying to rebuild an offense with young guys.


    As for DJ, I never saw the shine. I do not understand any level of hype with that one. Bad drops at the worst times, losing first downs after getting it on the catch, just too many bone-headed things with those 2 for me.


    Notice I never called either one a team cancer. I just don't think they were ever team guys.

    Although I agree with you ,but we can't take away how much different/ better DJ, and Claypool were with Ben.
    Claypool : 1733 yard, and 11 TDs in two years with Ben.
    DJ : 2084 yards, and 15 tds with Ben in 2 years.
    That my friend is great numbers with Ben for both, and after Ben they both looked lost, and couldn't keep a job.
    Another reason I say that Qbs make 97% of all WRs.

    A QB has to really suck if his team signing Wentz is writing in the wall.
