Dexter McCluster heads to the CFL
 

Terrell Owens could be playing in Canada. For now, a former NFL player some 15 years younger than Owens is headed there.

The Toronto Argonauts announced on Monday that they have signed running back Dexter McCluster.

A second-round pick of the Chiefs in 2010, McCluster played both running back and receiver in the NFL. After four years in Kansas City, he spent two with the Titans and a portion of 2016 with the Chargers.

McCluster, a 29-year-old who did not play in 2017, generated 1,042 rushing yards and 1,993 receiving yards. He also racked up 1,554 kick-return yards and 1,388 punt-return yards, for a grand total of 5,977 all-purpose yards.

worthless POS waste of a pick

**** off midget

Good for him, he was a sweetheart!

I'm flying to Vegas to bet the under on Toronto. Back in a sec.

They will have no defense for his spin move.

I ran into him this past February at throwback. Hes friends with my friend. Dude is a total douche.

It's weird how much CP hates McCluster. I think hes the most universally hated Chief (besides the kicker that shall not be named)

Dude. No.

Winston - but the lisp jokes make me laugh every time.

Come on man. “The OW” isn’t consequential enough to hate hard.

Yeah, he's just some guy who wasn't good enough for the NFL really. Not like he went around the city tripping everybody's grandma

This is the pain that Buehler must feel when he has to go on a lengthy rant every time somebody tries to sugar coat Herm Edwards.

Herm is worse man. McMidget wasted a second round pick. Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards wrecked the ****ing franchise.

Plus, goddamned Zilla wasn’t sugar coating him. He straight up said he was just what the franchise needed.

Wow forgot he was a second round pick.

160 touches. Lol

Not his fault Carl and Herm overdrafted him :shrug:

LMAO

See, now you got my hackles up about McCluster, man.

McCluster was sooooo much worse than just a wasted 2nd round pick.

Let's say Pioli's Chiefs were Nazi Germany. Pioli would be Hitler. And Dexter McCluster was Joseph ****ing Mengele.

Javier Arenas and McCluster in the second round.

*Shivers

Nate Allen
TJ Ward
Ron Gronkowski
Carlos Dunlap
Linval Joeseph
Sean Lee
Golden Tate

All went in that second round after Pioli took McCluster

I think that the biggest reason that he was so hated on here was that he was drafted too high. We had 2 second round picks that year thanks to trading away Tony G. We could have bundled them and traded up for Dez Bryant or Denarius Thomas. Many here wanted Jimmy Clausen or Terrence Cody with those picks. Rob Gronkowski was picked after McNugget. Yeah. That pick pissed off everyone.

Blaming the player for being drafted too high seems really stupid.

The blame should be on Carl and Herm for drafting a gadget player so high.

Pioli drafted Mc****stick.

Actually, if Herm would've had a QB, he would have been ok - he drafted decently with Carl and coached up the young players well. Made some in game/clock management/situational awareness mistakes, but Reid basically does the same shit...

Herm had Thigpen and Huard and Croyle at QB.

I wanted Golden Tate so bad...

Let’s agree that they need carpet bombed out of existence!

****ing SNR! :cuss:

No. Just ****ing no dude. ****.

Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of CJ t Edwards was horrific at every single aspect of his job. Personnel, game planning, game day. Every single thing he was asked to was horrible.

And don’t come at me with a couple bullshit picks. **** that man. He turned over almost everybody in three years and he could find 22 decent players much less 53.

Read this. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=296702

There is no refutation. He was horrible.

ROFL

I don't care as much as you.

Does Belcher not rank on any lists, or is he on his own awful list?

He was a decent pickup until, well... you know.

Andy Reid played him exactly right and got the most out of him anyone ever could.

Provided a few highlights and was a good guy. He was ok in my book.

McCluster is a poor man's DAT

Or is DAT a poor man's McCluster?

Then where does the buck ****ing stop, dude?

We shouldn't bitch about Eric Fisher! It's not nice! It's not his fault the draft class of 2013 was so bad!

We shouldn't bitch about Scott Pioli! He was just looking for a job and he did the best he could! Blaming the executive for being offered a career-advancing high-paying contract seems really stupid.

So let's blame Hunt? NO, we shouldn't! It wasn't his fault he was born as the son of Lamar and that the rest of his siblings simply didn't want the position of Chiefs Chairman after Lamar died!

Oh for ****'s sake. Fine. I guess I'm going full ****ing Buehler.

Read this post. Then get back to me.

**** McCluster with AIDS.

Ran into him in a ….well....gentlemans establishment in Nashville while on a bachelor party. I can't imagine why he'd be broke after seeing his frugal ways there.

Oh, I agree. It wasn't his fault, anymore than it was Fisher's fault that we had the first pick in the worst draft class in NFL history. But you know what a bunch of vaginas this place can be. People here will hate on anyone for any reason. And McCluster was hated on for where he was drafted. That's just how CP rolls.

I'm just gonna post this link every time somebody tries to defend McCluster

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...1&postcount=34

36th overall? Ouch.

Like Tamarick Vanover and Bam Morris, you want to forget about it.

He was finally decent as a slot wr, but Andy couldn't move on fast enough from him so that says about all you need to know.

LMAO

Any relation to Rob?

They are the same terrible player.

tiny guy that gets a screen pass, spins and makes some jukes, looks quick, and gets tackled for a 3 yard loss

I don't dislike McCluster himself. He was what he was. I hated the system that spent a second-round pick on a 172 pound guy who runs a 4.6 40. If you're that size in the NFL, you have to be greased lightning. If you weigh 172 pounds and you're slower than many inside linebackers, you're doomed.

DAT is pretty much the same thing as McCluster, but at least he can outrun most inside linebackers. There's a very marginal place for DAT in the NFL, but there's not a place for a guy who runs a 4.6 40 at 172 pounds.

Maligning a player for not living up to his potential is fine. Maligning them for not living up to potential they never had doesn't make any sense.

And CP would have taken Sergio Kindle, Terrance Cody, or Taylor Mays. Guaranteed.

You knew he was going to have it rough when DBowe was faster than him and twice his size.

I don't disagree with your post. He was a wasted pick, no doubt. All I'm saying is that if we had taken Gronkowski in the second and McCluster in the 5th, where he should have been picked, there would not have been near the outrage. Sure, we want every pick to workout, but we have higher expectations for our second round picks than from our 5th round picks. And, like you said, everyone except Pioli and Hailey knew immediately that McCluster would never meet those expectations. The outrage was with Pioli, but the hate was poured out on McCluster.

He made a few plays while he was here. Had a few good punt returns. It's not his fault he was drafted too high by a regime that was ****ing clueless. And it's not his fault the team was a pile of human excrement led by Hat Castle. Considering some players drafted high, even in the 1st round, contribute exactly jack and shit (like Jon Baldwin). Hell, Javier Arenas was taken 14 picks later and he wasn't worth a damn either.

Yeah the pick sucked ass, but we've had worse picks. Tyson Jackson as the #3 overall player taken in 2009. Turk McBride was a 2nd rounder in 2007. Junior Siavii and Kris Wilson were both 2nd rounders in 2004. Eddie Freeman a 2nd rounder in 2002. And on down the list. We've had worse stinkers than McCluster.

That is a huge steaming pile of wasted draft picks.

Eh, we don't need Gronk. We have Kelce and all of CP agrees that he's much better.

With an Elite QB, the talking heads will be fawning over Kelce as the undisputed #1 TE in the NFL.

The PMII Effect will do this.

Almost forgot a real 2nd round gem. William Bartee in 2000. Mike Cloud, 2nd round in 1999. Sylvester Morris another 1st round slug ala Jon Baldwin. Ryan Sims the 6th overall pick of 2002. Victor Riley pick 27 in 1998. Trezelle Jenkins pick 31 in 1995. Greg Hill pick 25 in 1994.

My god 1992-1995 were really aids drafts for us outside of Will Shields. And I guess Dale Carter was ok for a short period? But we got the almighty Matt Blundin in the 2nd round in 1992!!!! I know you could do this with most teams but it still stings looking at our horrid drafts over the years.

We get McCluster****ed when it comes to drafting.

Dale Carter was a top-two cornerback in the league for several years. He was far better than okay.

You blame the person whose job it was to draft players. It's not that hard to figure out or understand.

It wasn't McCluster's decision to get drafted in the 2nd round. What was he supposed to do, reject the contract and demand 6th round money instead?

If you want to cry and complain about the player not being good enough for their position on the field, that's fine and warranted. Complaining about a player because of where they were drafted should be directed to the GM because that's their job, not the players. This isn't a video game where you draft a player in the first round and the system assigns them a 94 overall player rating.

If you want to complain about who the GM of the team is, then complain about the guy that hired him.

It would be warranted to blame who you allow yourself to blame.

He's supposed to not suck.


Nah, I'll stick to complaining about players. Stupid Frank Zombo.

We didn't have Kelce in 2010. We had traded away Tony G. I think your best tight was Moeaki, who couldn't stay healthy. Gronk in 2010 would have been awesome.

I never hated McCluster. Just not worth what we gave up for him.

Didn’t Carl resign Jan 15, 2009 and Dexter was drafted 2010 draft? But Carl still drafted him. Carl had some kind of influence i’ll Give you that.

the biggest knock on Belcher was he didn't pop Pioli in the parking lot when he had the chance

ROFL
Ive learned over time we just completely disagree on this. I think the tirades are hilarious. Not in a bad way. Just in a way that I appreciate the passion but I just disagree.

Bring him in for a look.

I didn't mind mccluster in a possession role. I thought he developed into a decent receiver. Granted, I'd rather have a bigger guy than him in that role. But I think he could have developed into a marginal underneath receiver. Ill never understand how anyone couldn't figure out by the end of his time in kc that he wasnt a gadget player and he wasn't a playmaker.

I always expected him to snap like a twig if he got hit hard.

Yeah he was better than ok. Top 2 in the league is a bit of a stretch though in my opinion.

Reid and Dorsey did. That’s why they let him go without a fight.

I remember getting into it with Tex over McCluster when he left. Tex was a huge Dex fan. Lol


And nevar forget it was McCluster Cassel was trying to hit when he threw the pick on the screen pass to the Chargers. So incredibly awful on so many levels.

I remember Shannon Sharpe carrying DC on his back down the field during the Monday Night Meltdown.

Or maybe it was at Denver that year that Sharpe made Carter his personal and permanent bitch...but either way, DC was simply never the same after getting Sharpe broke off in his ass.

Nope.

This is one of the times that phrase actually doesn't apply...

^ how about a peek?

Oh I've seen mpre than enough Dexter Mc****stick on that bubble screen against the Chargers 8 years ago.

I think this is incorrect. Shannon Sharpe destroyed Glenn Cadrez when he played for us. Him and that shit **** coordinator Greg Robinson, whom Vermeil just couldn't fire until after it was too late.




I AM SO NOT BITTER

I'm talking pre-Verneil.

Marty days, when Denver won 2 Super Bowls.

Sharpe caught like a 4 yard out and turned it into a 24 yard TD to seal the game for Denver. Dale Carter rode on Sharpe's back for like 20 of the yards...it was ****ing excruciating.

This game :

So, a complete deconstruction of my hatred for Dexter McCluster, his fans, and the guy who drafted him...

1. He was a terrible, terrible pick that high in the second round. As was pointed out by someone almost immediately following the pick, he had one of the worst speed scores in combine history (77.3).

You know what Spencer Ware's speed score is? 96. ROFLROFLROFL

If McCluster had entered the draft this season, he would have had the worst speed score among all running backs by TEN POINTS.

That's what you get when you draft a pipsqueak who is on the lower edge of player size in the NFL and runs a ****ing 4.58.

2. He had no position. He was too light to be even a 2nd RB, let alone a starter. He was too short and slow to be anything of value at WR, and when you factored in his shitty ****ing hands, well, gee, what the **** are we going to do with this guy?

I know, let's throw him a jillion screen passes and dumpoffs in the flats, mix in some 1-yard drags and LET HIM USE HIS ATHLETICISM!

And of course no one saw that coming with the shitsucking tweedledee the wonder dummy we had at QB at the time.

3. The Chiefs overfed him the ball. I literally think there was a mandate from Fuhrer Pioli to feature his blessed second-round pick. And when a guy touches the ball THAT much he's bound to break a few plays, and so....emboldened by his draft position, OMG HIS DREADLOCKS AND HE'S SO LITTLE AND POUNDS HIS CHEST GO LITTLE GUY, he engendered a LEGION of dumbass fans.

And they would not shut up about him, his potential, that one time he did something awesome and so he's gonna do it every game now guyz for realz!!!! And the Chiefs wouldn't stop giving him the ball and he wouldn't stop not scoring touchdowns and, in short, it was a very frustrating time for me.

Basically he was the Matt Cassel of running backs, except he wasn't even a running back. He was just a black hole that attracted footballs. The footballs got sucked into Dexter McCluster and nothing came out of it.

In short, **** him, **** his fans, **** the guy who drafted him, **** his stupid spin move, and **** BossChief, too. One last time, buddy.

Oh hey, yeah. I had blocked that game from memory. Thanks.

Didn't the 98 Chiefs start out red hot at 4-0? Lol, Chiefest thing evah.

I won a bet against clay with McCluster. Those were the days.

And the only reason was because that limpdick Charles broke himself again.
