Film Study: Is Chase Claypool still good? 

Claypool is a pretty decent player, I would not disregard him by any means, this year I'm sure he will look much better as he joined the Bear's roster mid season. He will have more time with Justin and the offensive scheme and he should be a great addition to the offensive weapons, it's going to be a very exciting and interesting year for the Bear's and the fans this year. I am pumped to see how it all shapes out!! Bear Down!

I have no problem with anyone critiquing the Claypool trade, but either fans are idiots or they just choose not to add contexts to any explanation of things. Lol..I think Ryan Poles understood exactly what he was doing trying to get his quarterback a legit Passing Target/Play maker. First off the man only played seven games with the Bears and was also hurt for the majority of the games played, secondly the trade was made on November 1st. for all you "smart-asses" There wasnt any "32pick" invovled at the time it probably would've been in the 40's also the offer was the Baltimore Ravens second round pick originally which the Bears received from the Roquan trade which The Steelers where fine with until the Packers which are a division rival of the Bears offered their second-round draft pick for Chase Claypool, so now the Bears had to offer their draft pick to not only get Chase, but also keep him away from a division opponent; furthermore at the time no one knew the Bears would end up with the worst record when you had teams like Houston, Arizona Indianapolis, I believe even Detroit at that time had a worse record, so in hindsight who is going to know that the Texans will give away the first overall draft pick winning a pointless game against the Colts by virtually throwing up a Hail Mary. Idiots are quick to creative narrative just so they can sound intelligent, but actually are very misinformed with the lack of information. At the end of the day the Bears came out like Bandits trading the #1 overall pick which they should of never had anyway..for a huge draft Haul as well as getting a number 1 receiver DJ Moore to go alongside of Chase Claypool who still has a whole season to prove himself. So please stop with the false narrative like the Bears GM literally traded the #32 overall pick for a player that still was drafted maybe a little later in the second round in 2020 #49 overall to be exact, So even with that the Vaule still matchups Pittsburgh is not going to trade a player they drafted in the second round who has been somewhat productive for lesser value you guys don't make any sense.

He was dealing with injuries and he was new too the system he gonna be find this year he gonna be a third option and that’s where he succeeds I do agree the Bears shouldn’t trade it a second round pick but he gonna be find with a off season to learn the playbook and get chemistry with Fields

I can't believe the Bears traded basically a 1st round pick for Claypool, as a Steelers fan i was a big Claypool fan his rookie season i even got his jersey, but he regressed a lot since then, and he developed a diva like attitude he did dumb stuff like celebrating a 1st down catch when they needed to spike the ball cause there were no timeouts left and he got into a big fight with Minkah Fitzpatrick during practice so I wasn't surprised they traded him he seemed like he cared more about himself than the team

I enjoyed your well-done film study, but a well-done film study would be a fantastic one if it was a bit longer. It left me wanting more. Good Job.

Chase claypool for Joey Porter jr lol. The khan Artist

The Bears essentially gave up a late first rounder for this guy. I can’t believe that Poles made that trade.

his biggest issue, especially for a QB like Fields, is he has very very little awareness when a play breaks down and coming back to his QB…hopefully for the Bears that comes with more experience. As a Steelers fan, we already got our pick so I’m certainly cheering for the kid.

Hey big fan, could you do a Romeo doubs film study next? Got offered Claypool for doubs in fantasy

do people know how hard it is to come in the middle of the season and learn a new coach and offense and quarterback. new route tree splits etc. Has to think about that rather than just playing fast. Claypool will be fine. And he was better than any second round receiver in this draft.

Hey Jackson, is this all 22 footage??

Chase should be like DK, they are the same size and speed but Chase plays way too small he doesn't go grab the ball or catch with his hands he catches with his body and falls too often.

FINS UP

People dont take into account the circumstances. He was traded to Bears mid season. In his 1st game he drew what should have been a blatant pass interference which would have ended up winning the game against Miami. So not many catches in the game, but that should have been a PI at the end of the game in addition to the long PI early in the game. That was after 2 practices. Then in his 4th game with Bears he was having his best game and had 5 or 6 catches early in 2nd qtr and got hurt and missed remainder of the game and next 2 games and missed practices for 4 weeks. He was traded to play across from Mooney who went on IR after getting hurt at beginning of 3rd game together. So moral of story. Didnt have offseason with Bears. Started slow not knowing offense. When starting to grasp got hurt and D was able to key on him with Bears best WR on IR. Impact should be much greater in 2023 with complete offseason and healthy again.

reminder there was only one game where fields and claypool both played >50% of the snaps. a full offseason should help claypool develop chemistry with fields

I will say this to anyone who says the Steelers won this trade and fleeced the bears. Claypool came to Chicago the middle of the season, so he had to learn the offense on the fly. The bears o line was straight garbage so there was few plays Fields could make plays to him. But when he did, Claypool made good plays. He could have have played more if it wasn’t for the dirty play of Rasul Douglass. With an improved line, other receivers like Moore and Mooney, and a full off-season to learn this offense, plus the improvement of Fields, all of you will eat your words.

If Claypool was in this draft, I would have absolutely no problem taking him 33rd overall. I would have loved it. Yeah, it would be great to have him on a full rookie contract but its not that big of a deal. Bears have plenty of cap space and he is a talented receiver. The Bears offense as a whole was atrocious and the passes/plays he received really weren't that great. Not near enough deep balls and outside fades that he should be getting every game. The Bears utilization of him was not good at all. I think Claypool will show his true colors if the Bears use him properly and do really well.

Kahn man won this trade 😮

People keep forgetting he's part of this year draft pick ....Bears are wining with him.

Chase will be ok!!!!

Was he ever good? He was a somewhat productive #2 but he was never a good WR

i like mooney as the number two receiver more but i can understand moving mooney to the slot since he’s better as a route runner/speed guy than a deep threat.

Excellent. The BILLS could really get his potential out

Keep him in the slot and jet sweeps and go from there. His catches were high in the slot. He's a miss match. Chase is still young. Hopefully he was humbled by this whole trade experience. He needed a reset. Good luck to em. One thing Pittsburgh has learned from Claypool is the importance of talented big receivers, but they won't be needing his services this time.

The bears are notorious for WR having no stats. It’s a run first kick ass defense second team.

don't think he's with the team after this season, so that would qualify as a mistake. as the only real mistake poles has made so far, I still have a ton of confidence in the management. especially given the bad situation they were putting Justin in last season, perhaps they felt the gamble was worth it

Claypool is known for his blocking. Now with Moore and and a healthy Mooney, he could block on the run or pass. Much more effective use

He will have bounce back year

He was worth a second round pick most of them never pan out

Claypool will have 65 catches 850 yards and 7 tds this year

We will find out this season. The first player in the 2nd round should be darn good.

He’s actually WR3 bc mooney is 2. He should eat.

The fact that the pick was used draft Porter Jr hurts lol

I agree, Chase Claypool was an overpay. But I have to say, the Bears getting him and DJ Moore is a massive upgrade that they probably couldn't do by drafting.

Imagine trading for Chase Claypool

The jet sweeps seem really odd for a guy with Claypool's physical attributes Idk man, I have a hard time buying into the Bears offensive scheme if they look at a big, moderately quick guy like Chase and decide to run him around the end...

Not an 'over pay'! Alot of this undue critiism of Claypool is misinformed or, just hate! But he is neither a 'bust' or some wasted 2nd round '23 draft pick that was aquired to get him. Claypool came to the Bears into 3/4th of a season already played not knowing their Playbook [for all that was worth] and then being asked to come up to speed on it. Claypool is essentially the 2023 2nd round pick tho, with experience, which will make him somewhere between the relative phenom he was as a rookie and then slightly less than that, but he is not what most fans are complaing about. Both Mooney and Claypool will star right along side DJ Moore this year, but the ones who are sh**ing on him won't apologize or admit they were wrong!.

Chase Claypool runs a 4.42, but he doesn't play that fast. To trade an early second round pick was horrible. AJ Brown was a far more productive player before being traded to Philly for the number 18 pick in the first round. The Bears wound up losing a high second round pick after being the worst team in football, for a player who that has not shown enough to warrant the trade, and will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Aged like fine milk.

Yes he is still good. Hasn't changed at all. It just passing volume differnce

He was a terrible trade for my bears smh 🤦

Chase was a dissapointment bears should have traded a 3rd or 4th as their limit

He's been dissapointing but still young and on a short list of WR's that have blessed sauce gardner

He's going to get 1000 yards this y

If the Bears didn't outbid the Packers for Claypool, Aaron Rodgers would still be a Packer😂

Chase was a monster Saftey in HS, they should let him play both ways to get some of that trade value back lol

And that's way Pittsburgh doesn't have the Georgia pass rusher.

Is Mooney still good?

The Steelers fleeced the bears

u stay ragging on the bears bro ...

did not know he was ever good in NFL ?

😂😅😅😂

He will be wr3. He’s not as good as Mooney

You haven't done your homework.

Was he ever good?

Let me save you from watching no Chase sucks and thank God Pittsburgh traded him for essentially JPJ! Go Steelers!

Everything you do is negative,

This video sucks. But keep hustling bro. Dnt stop….
