Chase Claypool: “It’s An Amazing Opportunity” | Buffalo Bills 

He’s not really an underdog tho. There were high expectations for him, had a great rookie year, and his attitude got him kicked off 2 teams. He doesn’t seem to have the character or work ethic to play for long in the league, he’s all about himself.

@@danieljoyce7699 Even if all that is true (and who knows because it's all second and third hand accounts from various 'sources') people can change and grow. These guys are so young when they enter the league. I'm thankful I wasn't under a microscope when I was that age. Go Bills!

@@DennisKapatos you’re right, he’s still really young. Wish you Bills fans the best. I love that organization and I’m just salty because that guy was probably the worst trade I can remember the Bears making lol

@@danieljoyce7699 , Maybe that will change. This is obviously his last chance and he should have matured enough by now, to realize that!

The play where he celebrated a first down while the clock was against the team is the perfect summary of chase in one play. me me me. waste of talent

I can’t allow myself to get excited about this yet. I already want to, but gonna wait for training camp and preseason at least.

@@kyleconnor2759 I agree but if u think abt it when he had success was when he just came into the league to a good team good coach and so so quarterback play! I think Claypool will thrive with the Bills ! He knows this might be it ! Go Bills !

@@brandonday6153 dude if this works out… I can see it happening too. But it’s easy for a guy who’s had issues to be focused during OTAs and feeling good at the beginning. I’m not dismissing the chance. It would be unreal, like having had another high 2nd round pick on a WR this year who’s also a top round 1 talent physically but also has experience.

“And tries hard” was his issue in Chicago and Miami. This was stuff he said in Chicago too.

@@kyleconnor2759 it’s simple he either steps up and makes the most of his opportunity with the Bills or he doesn’t! It’s the upside that has me excited!

He spoke when the Steelers was winning and he said “loosing? never heard of her”😂

Been a lot of guys with the skill set it’s the mindset that’s been the issue since his rookie year..time will tell I sure do hope so but he could barely get on the field last year

I'd say Mack, MVS, even Shorter have that potential too, Chase just seems the most gifted of the group. Personally, I think Mack would succeed as WR1 in this offense, and Samuel and Shakir as well, despite being a little undersized. Either way you cut it, we have a legitimate blend of size and speed for once, and Joe Brady should be able to create plenty of mismatch opportunities in a spread style offense where you don't need a true WR1. Don't forget Keon is being groomed for that boundary X anyways, and he is perfect for that role. Should be a hell of year, lol...

@@seanguitarman5594might as well not forget Tyrell shavers.

He doesn’t

Gotta be very cautiously optimistic, but if he’s ready to work and actually pans out, it changes everything for this upcoming year. I would really caution getting excited rn though.

@@kyleconnor2759 I'm excited for the season also I think just like Beasley and smoke he's going to have his best season of his career and I'm excited for Ray Davis

Yeah I am too. Brady has had a full offseason and has the guys he wants. I was sorry to see Diggs go and it be on a kind of sour note, but I was never upset about the impact. We may not have a 1000+ yard guy, but a bunch of 400-700 with 3-5 touchdowns and 1 or 2 who go 800ish with 5-7 touchdowns. Ray will be fun to watch. If Claypool is actually locked in, watch out. But I think Josh will have a crazy good year this year and we’ll be more balanced as far as who touches the ball.

I agree and it won't even be close if he puts it together.

For me it is Shakir

Yea ok

​@JoawMebs-im6ix for sure this don't won't even start prolly now that we picked up the speedster from kc not even gonna try to spell his name

Beasley and Smoke?

@@mikep3813 I thought about Beasley but to me he wasn't a reclamation project, he got 678 yards in 2019. He also didn't come cheap either (I think Curtis Samuel's situation looks similar). John Brown's yardage the year before Buffalo was pretty good already too. Interestingly I looked again at Murray and his number actually dropped with Bills.

@davidhatran3160 I don't think either were signed with the intention of being a legit no1 wr, but cheap, reliable options to fill the wr room until they could find their guy. Beasley had 3 of his best 4 career seasons with the Bills and smokes only full season was his best career season. Both were signed for far below what their production was. I think that kinda the same thing they're hoping for with Claypool, just make the team and give them a reason to keep him on the 53. Except with claypool, he's fighting for the 5th/6th roster spot and not the guaranteed a spot like Beasley and smoke.

@@mikep3813 Agreed, none of these guys was signed as WR1, however to me there seems to be 3 categories: WR2/WR3 (consistent starters), depth and special teams (start or fill in a couple of games). Beasley/Smoke/Samuel seem to fit the first one. The guys I mentioned above seems to be either the second or third. Of course there will be guys in practice squad that can be called up as depth (e.g Isabella, AJ Klein or Leonard Fournette). In either case none of the guys in second or third categories moved up after one year - so historically successful reclamation projects are rare. Chase is an interesting case as if he returns to form, he would be WR2 (or even WR1 now that Diggs is gone), so lots of upside there. I like actually like this, a lot like Chiefs with no clear WR1 (really it's 87) but they are all productive.
