Why do people say dumbshit stuff like this? He's a RB. Not a WR. His career as a WR, including learning route trees, is ****ing dead. Quote:
A spring in his ****ing step? Does that include his 7 touch, 25-yard performance against the Packers? FYI, the holes he was running through against Denver were gigantic. He never made anyone miss. |

The problem is that he needs space. That's different from a guy like Charles, who can work regardless of whether you give him space or not. Because he's not going to break many tackles. Yes, he has his limitations. He's not going to be an elite player. But there's most definitely the upside that if you have a coach and a QB who know how to get him the ball in space, he could be lightning in a bottle sporadically throughout the game. |

I don't give a rat's ass what he did at the combines in the cone drill, or other drill, I see what he's done on teh field in 2 years as a Chief, and all I see is "just a guy" **** the combines. |

The problem is, if I have to choose between Breaston and McCluster, I'm picking Breaston 9 times out of 10. Unless McCluster shows serious improvement. That's more a credit to Breaston than that is a knock on McCluster. |
Quote:
Whe he has ever made anyone miss? He had space in the last three games, and he didn't make a ****ing soul miss. |

You can find a scab on the street to do what he does. There is an army of unemployed, 5-7, 170 pound failed college RBs who could do what DMC does. |
Remember after the 2001 season when Vermeil brought in all these college sprint and track stars to compete at WR in the hopes that those physical measurables and agility would translate onto the football field?
I see McCluster as one of those guys only he played a lot of football in college, so he has a sizable knowledge of the game. But that's about it. That knowledge hasn't given him more than the one dimension we need on this football team. |

Those videos show clearly that McCluster has an extremely rapid change of direction, and the ability to very quickly accelerate out of those shifts. His ability to do those things isn't normal. They're definitely very good. In many ways, we've gotten a little spoiled by Charles. Because he's so good, we forget that he was doing some magical things behind a subpar offensive line that few RBs would be able to do. McCluster isn't Charles and never will be, but that doesn't mean he can't one day be an effective football player. |
Quote:
If it doesn't translate to the football field against athletic and fast defenders, and it doesn't for McCluster, what he does against ****ing cones doesn't mean a goddamn thing. He's a one trick pony, and the defense knows that one trick. |

"Making people miss' isn't just about going one-on-one with a guy and juking him out of his pants. McCluster's value so far has mostly been in the moves that set up openings, and his ability to accelerate in between creases in ways many backs cannot. Again, these are all flashes. And yes, he falls down at the slightest bit of contact. But in space, he has the ability to weave through creases that many RBs do not have. We just get spoiled because we're used to seeing Jamaal Charles does those same things on an elite level. |
