ASHKUM BEAR Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I am not too worried as long as he puts up, but I bet this quote is planted in Claypool and Mooneys head. Any thoughts? Moore telling Adam Schefter about phone call with Justin. "It shocked him when I got traded," Moore said of Fields. "It was like 'Uh oh.' Let's go be QB1, receiver 1, and then we got [Darnell] Mooney and Chase [Claypool]. It's gonna be a good offense." it is nice seeing them all together building chemistry. Add Kmet and Tonyan to this group and this might be Chicago Bears best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 well they did trade more value for Moore (his value in the trade was equal to another first round pick) than Claypool (a 2nd round pick) AND they are paying Moore a lot more money than either Mooney or Claypool. So he's right. He's WR1. But hell yes it ought to light a fire under Mooney and Claypools butts! They each had a moment where they could have taken the WR1 job, and neither did. I hope it makes them mad. I hope they fight like dogs to be sure they arent #3, and to try to be #1. This is great. This competition will make them all better.

AZ54 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Is there such a thing as a top WR who isn't confident like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ is definitely insinuating that is what Fields said. Who knows how accurate that is. In other statements DJ has made it clear he is the rising tide that will lift all WR ships. He’s got the resume to back that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have no issue with this at all. The fact that they're all hanging out at bulls games and such tells me they have good chemistry and mutual respect. Moore's presence will help both Mooney and Claypool from a coverage standpoint. He will draw more coverage away from those guys. To me the Jury's still out on Claypool, he has the talent, but does he have the ethic and motivation to tap his full potential? Mooney speed receiver and is more of a role player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 How long has it been since we had a receiver consistently draw double coverage or shade from a safety? I like the brashness, as it builds high intensity to back it up. With Mooney and Claypool coming into next contracts, they'd better step up.
