There is weird coincidence/stat that whatever team Claypool is on takes a nose dive after he joins the team. Will try to find the podcast where I saw it…. It showed a graphic that was pretty damning. As much of an athlete that he is, I am ok with moving on from him.
Edit:
From Reddit
Chase Claypool’s teams have now lost 22 of the last 26 games that he has been active for.
Claypool was 3-6 in Dolphins games he was active for in 2023 including last night’s Wild Card loss, the Bears were 0-10 in games that Claypool played in and he went 1-6 in his last 7 games with the Steelers in 2022.
# the stats show a correlation when he’s merely on the roster as well. (Counting games he was inactive for)
- 2023 Dolphins before Claypool trade (5-1 record, scoring 37.1 points per game.)
- 2023 Dolphins after acquiring Claypool ( 6-6 record with 24 points per game. )
- 2023 Bears in games Claypool played in. ( 0-3 record , 15.6 ppg)
- 2023 Bears after Claypool stopped traveling with the team and was traded ( 22.3 ppg, 7-7 record )
- 2022 Steelers were 2-6 with Claypool, then after the trade 7-2.
- 2022 Bears were 3-5 when they acquired Claypool, proceeded to go 0-9 after acquiring him.
He can’t keep getting away with this!
