Sometimes there are hot takes, and then there are just bad takes that should never be uttered. Case in point, ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark, who doesn’t believe that Chicago’s Allen Robinson is a No. 1 receiver.
Seriously.
As you can imagine, people didn’t take too kindly to that assertion, including Robinson himself.
Last season, Robinson led the Bears with 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns. But in just his second season in the league, Robinson posted 1,400-yard receiving season that included 14 touchdowns with the Jaguars.
Considering that Robinson hasn’t had the best quarterbacks throwing him the ball in his career, he’s put up some monster numbers, including most recently a 1,000-yard season with a Bears offense that was statistically among the worst in the NFL.
Maybe it’s easy for Clark to say that because he doesn’t have to worry about covering Robinson, who’s coming off one of his best seasons during a year where the Bears offense was putrid.
Robinson has expressed his desire to finish his career with the Bears, and you figure general manager Ryan Pace is hammering out an extension for Chicago’s No. 1 wideout, who’s headed into the final year of his three-year deal.
What say you, Bears fans? Is Allen Robinson a No. 1 wide receiver (although I think we all know the answer here.)
