HappyDays Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Wouldn't it be nice though to get lucky if he turns his career around here? 12 23 4 8 Quote
GolfandBills Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Certainly would be a great thing for us if he continues on this path 2 6 1 Quote
Brand J Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I’m a Keon Coleman fan, I loved his highlight video more than most of the receivers coming out. With that said, Parrino also mentioned Jamarcus Ingram was holding his own with Coleman, even had the defensive sideline hooting and hollering. I wasn’t bothered when I heard Elam was getting the better of him on some reps, but now Jamarcus Ingram? Hmmm… 4 3 1 Quote

I was bullish since we signed him just because it was so out of character for us. He's young, that level of success at his age is hard. Sometimes people need to bottom out to rebuild themselves and sometimes you never really know where the bottom is. Happy we took a chance and look forward to seeing what he can do! 7 4 1 1 Quote
muppy Posted June 5 Posted June 5 my blood pressure just went Up reading this. My first reaction was Rawrr. My second was pump your brakes it's OTA's. My third is oh my gosh would that not be the BERRIES if he is returning to his earlier college form *fingers and paws crossed* 2 1 8 3 3 Quote

GunnerBill Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Just now, GoBills808 said: is that good or bad Yea I thought the same. Does it mean he has really shone, or is it an indictment on others? We know Keon has had some struggles, which is probably to be expected, but Shakir? Samuel? 1 5 1 Quote
BullBuchanan Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I don't love that adjective. Is that because our other guys are underperforming, or because claypool is blowing the doors off? Guessing it's the former, as "consistent" is rarely a descriptor you use if someone is crushing it. Quote
HappyDays Posted June 5 Author Posted June 5 (edited) 3 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: is that good or bad Yeahhhh I had that thought too. But he is by far the most physically gifted WR on the roster, one of the most physically gifted players on the roster actually. Is he going to turn into AJ Brown? Obviously not. Can be he a legit starting outside WR though? I think there is a path for that at least. Edited June 5 by HappyDays 5 1 Quote
Cray51 Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I always felt Claypool had the talent, just not the consistency in effort. You dont just magically have two 850 yard seasons if you can't at least hang in the league. If McD and Brady are able to get him straight and he can have a gabe davis like role on this team (blocking + deep threat + suspect catch rate) that would be a welcomed addition at a discount 6 1 Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted June 5 Posted June 5 It's OTA's. You will always have a stand out that is not expected. We go through this every offseason. It will matter when we see it in camp when it's full go. 1 2 Quote
Cray51 Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Fun fact, Chase has TWO seasons of more receiving yards than Davis' best year. On similar targets as well. His catch rate is similar to Davis as well. He was a decent #2/3 with Pitt early in the league. If the team can turn this guy back into that player, he will have a role. 3 6 2 Quote

Einstein Posted June 5 Posted June 5 19 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: is that good or bad Also, what does it even mean? The most consistent in catching the ball? Most consistent in getting seperation? Most consistent in route running? Most consistent in ALL of this (that would be scary). Quote

His issue isn’t talent, it’s been attitude and work ethic. I loved him coming out of ND at the time when others didn’t. Hopefully he’s fixed it between the ears and we have something 25 minutes ago, Brand J said: I’m a Keon Coleman fan, I loved his highlight video more than most of the receivers coming out.

If you can’t separate in college you won’t be doing it in the pros. Love the kid and his personality but his film is not good and I’ve been down on him for months He was the one WR I didn’t want to pick late 1st early 2nd Edited June 5 by DJB 6 1 Quote

One positive, one negative. Positive: We know he shows up when pads come on, he’s at his best when physical. Negative: He seems to consistently be running with the second team, let’s see how he looks with first team reps. 3 Quote

This is a fun tweet, Bills reporter goes "He's having a real good OTAs he might make the team." immediate overreaction follows "Comeback incoming?" Quote
Don Otreply Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I suspect Claypool is knowingly fighting for his careers last real opportunity, I very much hope he proves his doubters wrong, and that he has seen the light so to speak, 3 2 1 Quote

Coleman Shakir Samuel MVS Claypool Hollins That's my 6 for the roster. 1 minute ago, Mr. WEO said: Well....Bills traded for Diggs--and held onto him until they inevitably got tired of his predictable behavioral BS. My brother the Vikes fan gave it 4 years before Diggs would make his way out of Buffalo. 3 1 Quote
