You're the guy who still thinks Dexter McCluster has more elusive quickness than Jamaal Charles.

Stanzi took a step backward this offseason for some reason. Dexter took a HUGE leap forward in his skills as a WR. That was a pretty unlikely scenario at the beginning of the offseason if you ask me. But whatever. Weird shit happens.

Oh, and 99% of the teams in the NFL still keep 3 QBs, reerun.

You're right I've never seen Brees or Brady benefit from YAC yardage to Sproles and Welker. All they do is chuck it deep and they are in the endzone without having to do a thing!! Thanks CP.

I hope he gets lots of YAC yards. Odds are he'll only receive the ball within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage most plays. We'll need YAC yards from him and lots of them.

I was hoping that Wylie and Gray would push McCluster down the depth chart, and wouldn't mind if it pushed him off the team. Although I didn't expect that would happen this year, so there's still some hope that Wylie might improve but I really doubt he pushes McCluster off the field this season at all (and won't be surprised if they try to get Wylie to the practice squad). I think the RB situation definitely has pushed McCluster out of that (although we know they'll do some stuff like fake reverse draws or some crap like that with him), but Wylie is going to need to improve just to remain in the NFL.

As it is, McCluster looks ok, he's providing about what I was hoping Wylie would provide (solid performance out of the slot), but he's getting a bit too much of our offensive focus, which is the troubling part.

Like in 2010, all I could think is he's taking touches from Charles. Now its Charles, Hillis, Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin and the TEs. Unless he plays like 2010 Charles, if McCluster is a significant part of the offense, it tells me that Daboll and/or Cassel are ****ing up.

Now I know why you have no name

It was clearly a pair of poor picks. We had two seconds that we used on an undersized specialty back and a return specialist corner whose ceiling was as a nickel back. With a team with as many holes as we had at the time, that's not a good return on your investment. That said, rooting against them is counterproductive.

If McCluster can make some catches and help move the chains, and it appears that he will do just that, then I have no problem with him in this offense.

My argument has always been that he is not Darren Sproles, and that is the guy some have tried to compare him to.

Agreed.

Actually, McClusters stats compare pretty favorably to Sproles his first few years. Maybe McCluster will become even better over time?

I think sometimes "we" as fans are harder on our own teams players than we are on other teams players. Its just human nature.

I see him more as a Danny Woodhead type.

It's the same with laughing at him for not matching Welker already. Wes didn't exactly light it up right out of the gate himself. 1 TD in his first 3 years combined and no more than 700 yards in a season. People don't use reality when comparing players.

Wylie deserves a spot on this team.
He can help the return game with his speed.

If he gives you anything offensively, that's a bonus.

Another thing with Fans and this Wylie thing. I think sometimes we get too high of expecatations with players. Im sorry, most lower round draft picks dont just come into the NFL and "light it up" Just doesnt happen. Most lower round guys are developmental picks.

He's not Darren Sproles.
It did take Sproles about four years to really come on as an offensive player though. And he's had two of the better QB's in the league to throw to him.

McCluster has had offensive production in just two years.
I think we'll see more from him over the next two.

I think this could be a breakout year for him.

Happens all the time in Chiefs Country.
We get a wild hair about a draft pick (I have one for Gray) and go nuts with what we think they can be in year one. Thing is, Wylie's a WR. That's one of the toughest positions in the NFL to transition into from college. Ask Jon Baldwin.

He had 800 some total yards last year(yeah, yeah some didn't "count" by some bullshit excuse :whackit:) , that isn't bad at all for a 2nd year player. Now he's taken a step up as a wideout. Might not match the production, but he can be a more effective player this year.

He probably won't, but only because he won't carry the ball nearly as often.
If he can give us 500 receiving yards and a 3-4 TD's, I'll be happy.

I'd also keep him in the return mix.

Sunday the beatdown begins....

He's gonna rack up the garbage time catches in a blowout! Can't wait!

You would know garbage time if anyone would...

Big cry baby...

lol it's one of the easiest

Are you praying for that someone to be McCluster?

Game 1: 6-82

Have McCluster and Breaston moved ahead of Baldwin on the depth chart?

DMC: 6 catches for 82 yards

He is on pace for 1312 yards.

Clay will be along with excuses and reasons why even though he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, he is correct in some way that makes it bad for the Chiefs.

"Garbage time."

Nothing is bad for the Chiefs when McCluster is getting first downs.

Whats so bad about it? He had 4 or 5 first downs today. None of his passes were under 4 yards either

I didn't say there was anything bad about it. He had a good game and all his catches were clutch.

Did you even watch the game?

Oh. This part confused me

Let the countdown begin. 44 left for clown suit.

I am saying Clay will claim that he is correct in some way.

3 catches a game to destroy the Claymo again.

This thread should be locked. Dexter McCluster is the least of this team's problems. Arguing over a splinter while we have bullet wounds.

A comma after why would probably have made all the difference for your reading comprehension...

I want to see Clay eat crow on this so bad it isn't even funny.


DMC isn't a splinter... he is an asset. This thread serves to call out Clay, lover of DvD, hater of DMC.

Why? He takes outlandish positions on issues dozens of times every year. We all know already that he's a dumbass. These discussions just encourage his act.

Looking forward to DMC to do this all season long to Claymo...

We'll see.

He did make a couple of plays, yesterday, though. Credit where it's due.

Not impressed by his garbage time stats, though. Par for the course for the little midget.

Everyone already realizes any game where he is our leading receiver is a ****ing dumpster fire.

By the way, I now accept the reality that he will probably catch 40 balls.

He's not the #4 WR.

He's the #3 WR because Jon Baldwin is a huge piece of shit.

ROFL

edit: and the majority of McCluster's catches came when we were still in the game.

Dude the chiefs have a 1 read QB let's not dog the WR.

This. Don't hate on Baldwin because Cassel can't throw the ball over 10 yards. Put Baldwin/Breaston/Bowe with Rodgers, Brees, or Brady and watch them all get even touches.

Boss's touchdown run was something wasnt it...

He was like Chris Berman, boom, boom, boom, Touchdown from 30 + out...

it was bad ass...

Cassel threw 3 or 4 nice passes over 15 yards yesterday.

He's not the reason Baldwin can't get on the field....Baldwin is.

Dex is stealing Baldwin's PT because he's a better receiver.

And that's ****ing sad.

Cassel threw a couple good deep(ish) balls yesterday.. The one to Boss was ****ing perfect -- and Boss also made a great catch.

The Cassel bashing is becoming cultish... Guy repeating shit just to try and fit in...

To many Lemmings here...

Welcome to ChiefsPlanet

7 different guys had 2 or more reception yesterday. The ball was spread around.

Once again, passes that any competent QB in the NFL should have made.
1 football half of non-shitty play has everyone believing in Cassel now? okay.

Okay, so Cassel is golden now. Gonna bash on Baldwin instead!

No thats not what everyone is saying... Cassel isnt the answer, but to make outlandish bullshit claims just to look cool is tiring...

Cassel play a decent half and a shit half. He isnt the answer by any means...

Cassel isn't golden.

There are a lot of problems with this dumpster fire franchise and Baldwin is emerging as a new one.

:facepalm:

Give up 40?

Blame Cassel.

CP

Cassel has shown me nothing to put any trust in his decisions as an NFL QB, so therefore I do not trust his judgement that Baldwin is not getting open.

I don't expect you to, but if a .gif package comes along that proves Baldwin cannot get separation, then I will gladly eat crow.... I'm not taking Cassel's lack of getting him the balls action for it.

Cassel has a good half yesterday, I will give him that. Does Baldwin suck? I will wait to see if he starts dropping passes.

Cassel can find 5'5" McCluster, but he can't see big ole Baldwin. Got it.

did baldwin even see the field?

and given the fact that our secondary is DII, I can see why Baldwin was the Training camp hero this year.

Dexter is the best route runner on this team.

Sadly, it appears to be. Perhaps the best hands as well.

Best hands too

Dude.

Baldwin isn't even running routes during pass plays.

He's not playing in games.

He is a huge dumpster fire at WR right now.

He played 12 snaps on passing plays yesterday.

IF you ever watch him in person. He is by far the best...

Sadly? Give the guy credit, he's tough to handle in the slot and had a very good game against a team deep at corner. He's made some nice strides this offseason and it shows on the field.

Badwin can't beat Breaston for the #2 spot. Period.

So predictable it's sad Clay.

You know what's going to be predictable as this season goes on?

Dumping the ball to DMC.

Bring on the pick sixes.

Be sure to post a picture of the authentic McCluster jersey before you put it in the mail. Once again you will be owned on your troll behavior.

BTW... You were also wrong on McCluster being on the field on 3rd down. Not only was he ON the field, he made the reception to convert a 1st.

You're ****ed now, Dex.

Wrong.

The little man is sooooo in somebody's head right now.

LMFAO
