pumpkinhead Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Looks like a good #3 WR.I thought he was probably #4, behind Mason, Boldin and Stallworth. Do you see him as ahead of Stallworth? Quote
cravnravn Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 No effin way hes ahead of Stallworth..How many chances does this kid need.. I was real pissed that Stallworth wasnt with the first team last night. Quote
thundercleetz Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I have been saying this all along, Clayton is not a bad receiver by any means, he is just not a primary target. He runs good routes, is a smart team player, can get open in crowded areas, is aggressive for the ball, and has excellent quickness. As we saw last night, he will take advantage of other team's weaknesses at corner. He will never be a #1 or #2 receiver, but with Boldin, Mason, Stallworth, and our group of tight-ends, Clayton should be able to give us good production out of the slot and matchups against the other team's #3 or #4 corners. He definitely has a place on this team. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I think they might be showcasing him for a potential trade. The only reason he is looking good this season is there is real competition. He is in it for the check. Quote

He is in it for the check. Trade bait - Bingo. Anyone see DWill catch the ball and run out of bounds for a one yard gain. There was no one around him! Quote

oldno82 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I have to agree with Thunder. Clayton is an acceptable 3rd or 4th receiver---I tend to think more as a number 4. I'd rather see Stallworth in there as number 3-he's not afraid to go over the middle and he has that great speed that one receiver has to have. But, Clayton would be adequate. Quote
ForceEight Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Clayton isn't going anywhere. He's quick and shifty and he'll get physical when needed. He's a better option than Stallworth and he's one of the best #3 options any team can have. Quote
cravnravn Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 He's a better option than Stallworth and he's one of the best #3 options any team can have. Yagaddebeshiddingme, Clayton is more known for his drops than his catches, creates no seperation from the defender..Id rather D-Wil, Td Taylor as our # 4 than Clayton..Clayton was a #1 draft pick, that held out mind you, and has done nothing to justify being paid as such.

At least that is so much bs. Clayton or Stallworth as the third WR migth change from game to game, as the true backup for Boldin who have the record of only playing 11 games each season and Mason who is aging, I am more comfortable with take Clayton. Dwil is always on IR when you need him. And Taylor what spot did we use on him, and where is he now? Quote

He's a better option than Stallworth and he's one of the best #3 options any team can have. I don't see Clayton as the clear better option than Stallworth. Having both guys give us a lot of options as they are drastically different receivers. Neither guy is the clear #3 receiver in my opinion, both guys will be used in different situations. Quote
52isUnstoppable Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Clayton is good for four solid weeks a season. The other 12 he is merely a body on the field who contributes next to nothing. He plays like hes terrified. He avoids contact at all cost. Quote
cravnravn Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Anytime Clayton is on the field or for that matter dresses, is a flat out insult to Stallworth. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Unless a team will take him and say Willis for their #3 CB. That makes it a good play. Quote
