I don't agree with anyone who says because we have Charles, McCluster has no value. Charles is a pure screen receiver. McCluster is a guy who can comfortably play both RB and WR. That's especially important in a spread offense and on third downs, and could be very effective in the no huddle. In a pure spread, you have 4-5 WRs. With McCluster, one of those guys can comfortably flex into a RB position. Furthermore, when Weis used him, he was constantly motioning him around in the backfield to give off the illusion that we could be running the ball in a different direction. When a defense starts spying out a potential toss left to McCluster, and they end up handing off to Charles right, that is enough to keep the defense on their toes. But to succeed... look I don't disagree that he has to get a LOT better. I think it's nonsense when people say the talent is not there. It's there, it's just not very well used, both because he often doesn't have space and when he does, he either isn't confidently running at full speed or doesn't yet know how to use his vision or moves to make people miss. Or when they say Charles does his job, but better. Of course Charles is and always will be a lot better, but when McCluster operated in Weis' offense, there was good reason for both to be on the field. |

LOL at a guy coming into the league and getting better at making people miss. Guys with that skill are as good as they'll ever be the minute they get in the league. Dex is gonna suck ass for a 4th straight year and I'm gonna shove it up your bunghole.

To your last comment... I don't think McCluster is a very good player right now, so don't know where you're going with that. I think there's a good chance he'll be average or much worse under Reid. I just don't buy the BS that there is zero chance he'll get better because there's nothing there to develop. |

No it's not.
Players don't get quicker or faster as they age. He's a worthless midget who can't make people miss and has no speed, and that's why he was taken off kick returns. The effort to turn him into some kind of third-down dynamo last year was laughable. He'll probably be on the NFL garbage heap in a season or two, if that.

I never said he was a third down dynamo. Who did? I'm saying there is a use for him, IF he develops into a better receiver. |
