Claypool has never stepped up when the Steelers needed him. Plenty of opportunities with all the drops they've had. Just something off with him, maybe the mental side of it. I think it was the main reason they spent a 2 this past year on Pickens.

This line of thinking. Tua is the only one I'd personally compare Fields to. Josh and Hurts are far better on their own.

 

 

And that guy is…. Chase Claypool? The other 3 receivers mentioned were superstars. Claypool is a bust. Not remotely comparable.

But now they can put claypool and Nkeal Harry on the outside and put Mooney back in the slot. And some of the other jags can fill in. 
It’s not ideal but scheme wise it helps them. 

It’s definitely an improvement. Mooney can eat in the slot but we’ll see.

Can we spot saying bust without viewing all the circumstances? It completely devalues the word. Claypool had more yards and tds than Diggs did his first 2 years and is still 24.  He played with corpse of big rape and terrible backup type qbs since.

Claypool must’ve really pissed the Steelers off.

They find receivers every year.  They sold high on him and still have 2 really good receivers. Good trade.

I'll be honest, Fields has looked better the last 2 weeks. I watched that Bears vs Cowboys game and was actually impressed with a lot of what he did

Your joking right? He is honestly the only QB that I have ever watched with worse field vision that Tyrod Taylor.

I said the last 2 weeks. He did things in both the Patriots and especially the Cowboys game that were impressive. I was shocked in that Cowboys game with some of the throws he made. I didn't say he was good. I said he has shown signs of possible improvement the last 2 weeks

Definitely in the minority but I like the move for both teams. Claypool has played with junk qbs and has shown flashes. Fields is showing some signs (may be the best qb of that awful class now!) and they got him a weapon. 
 

it’s not the Diggs trade but I’m always find with getting your young qb weapons, even if you have to pay a little more.

 

I'd say he's more like adding a Beasley type possession wr. Mooney is like the Jon Brown speedster, so now they need a true #1, and a much improved OLine.

Imagine trading FOR a bust and trading away a great player.  Da Bears

Again, how is second rounder who had 800 receiving yards his first 2 years a bust? I don’t think people know what that word means anymore.

Big difference between expectations of being drafted in the 6th round Vs being drafted in the 2nd round though.

Does he take his mouth with him,  or does that stay in Pittsburgh?

800 total yards in 2 years?

there’s hall of famers who have gotten off to worst starts than Claypool. Dude was a 2nd rounder and looked like a star as a rookie. But I guess if you can’t lit it up with duck Hodges, Mitchell, dead Ben, Helmet head Rudolph, you must suck. 
 

funny how juju looks a lot better in KC.  Almost like receivers need a competent qb.

agree to disagree.  Claypool had 1,700 yards and 11 tds his first 2 years. With garbage qbs and a lot of mouths to feed (Johnson, juju, Pat F). 
 

I think the trade makes sense for both sides.  I would have been thrilled with Claypool for a 2nd, though I think we need more of a Elijah Moore type
