I’m underestimating him because he’s Mack Hollins, 31 year old career special teams player.

Without a cap this will get crazy. When it was against the rules there would be much smaller payments and gifts than what we’re going to see.

I’m not reading into it. It’s just depressing that Mack Hollins is mentioned.

We were told when he signed about his leadership. I hate that our QB is mentioning Hollins 1st when discussing WRs though. That’s not a good sign.

We saw a ton of 50/50 balls fall incomplete or get intercepted also. I don’t think anyone is expecting much from Claypool.

What’s even worse is real professional sports talk people saying Allen doesn’t do well with big WRs because we saw him with Benjamin. I don’t understand how people get paid to say something like that.

Yeah. Weird to see #14 at OTA’s.

He’s been working out all offseason. I saw the videos. So it’s true. This is obviously photoshopped.

Man. 👀

He looks like he’s overweight.

Maybe he’s saying no they aren’t sleeping on him?

Whoohoo, Kincaid sighting.

Kincaid shines, yet I haven’t seen anything yet in practice. I guess they aren’t allowed to film our WR1.

This thread thoroughly satisfies me.

I obviously influenced him. A thank you would be nice. 😉

I mean you know he’s not going to break him down in a press conference. This seems calculated to me. McDermott is usually reserved when discussing players, good or bad.

Building him up. McDermott knows what he’s doing. I’m sure Claypool is working his butt off but McDermott is trying to get the best out of him by boosting up his confidence.

I love when people don’t believe a strong consistent defense doesn’t help a young QB. Also Chan was basically the only coach to have overachievers as his top WRs. Chan was the best play caller but he thought he could do it with any WRs. Marone and Whaley went Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods in back to back seasons to build around EJ. And they put a strong defense and running game around the QB.

I’m with you. It’s been 4 months since I’ve seen Josh throw a football. Thats unacceptable.

They aren’t showing us anything. Every other team has clips out.

They run similar routes. Lead the league in depth of target. He drops a lot of shorter stuff so that doesn’t excuse the drops, but the drops don’t affect the catch % that much. His catch % is low because of his depth of target. Just like QB completion % goes down the deeper the throw. Same thing. There shouldn’t be any concerns. He’s not signed to a contract that should concern anyone.

It’s so hard to predict. We’re going to find out a lot about McDermott, Beane, and Allen over the next couple years.

Impossible to know how Allen would’ve developed in a different system and structure. MVP Allen would’ve had all our drought coaches in the playoffs though. Maybe not consistently but at least once.

Some people are over analyzing this move. MVS has had an important starting role on 2 Super Bowl contending teams. We don’t know what his role will be here but arguing against the signing makes zero sense.
