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.
No

As you can imagine, people didn’t take too kindly to that assertion, including Robinson himself.

Allen Robinson is a No. 1 wide receiver.

not sure why this is all of a sudden a debate but if you don't think Allen Robinson is a no. 1 receiver you simply haven't watched him play

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.
I love what @Realrclark25 does as an analyst, but he’s incorrect.
I’m still surprised some go with this narrative. Has anyone in football achieved more w/ less at WR?Think about the three QBs @AllenRobinson has played with.

Allen Robinson is an absolute stud. No disrespect, but he’s had Blake Bortles and Mitch Trubisky throwing time him. And he’s still putting up! Imagine having even a Tier 2 or 3 QB throwing him the ball 🤔

Have you seen the numbers he's put up with mediocre to poor QB play I'm his career so far? Now imagine if he had a good QB throwing to him. ARob has become one of the most underrated players in this league. @GBraggsJr23 @ChiFansInStands

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.
Lord knows Ryan couldn’t cover you.

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.)
