This team will use a 2nd back far more often than its slot WR. This is a running team. As long as Cassel is the QB, it always will be.

But Dex is the 3rd back. You know... behind Charles and Jones....

LMAO

Yes, McCluster is going to take 245 carries.

I thought all along Charles would end up leaving in free agency and Dex would take over for him as scatback. Charles got extended so that really doesn't leave any place for Dex. Hate to say it but his best value is tradebait. He can be a 3rd RB, but in that role he's the exact same player Charles is running the exact same plays. he's just not as good. It's hard enough getting 1 scatback carries but 2 fuhgetabout it. Trade him to a football team that needs a good 3rd down back and try to get something in return.

Hell yes. On a regular sized person, it would have been a low ankle sprain.

I wanted to draft 2 WRs in the first 4-5 rounds before this.....now I definitely want to. We need an outside guy, and now a slot guy.

Hell, Dex didn't even survive the season last year taking licks like those from CB's and Safeties. Taking those shots 10 times a game from LB's that outweigh him by 100 pounds?

Dude's not going to hold up.

And another thing: Had I told you on draft day we were going to take a RB with a high R2 pick - in the deepest draft in years - the majority of this board would have been ****ing furious.

You all look ridiculous trying to rationalize the pick after the fact.

JC barely survived? Says who? He was still popping off big runs at the end of the season and showed no signs of wear and tear. You just pulled that out of your ass.

And those "CB's and Safeties" aren't just any DBs. Those were two of the best in the game and Cassel hung Dexter out to dry. Period. Charles would've been lit the **** on either of those plays. Moeaki would've gotten his bell wrung. Like i said, weak.

I'm not trying to rationalize shit. I think it' much more of a matter of you and GC being irrational.

But GC is irrational. That's how he gets is attention. The whole board knows that. So you pairing with him just makes YOU look ridiculous.

You guys have done nothing but slam the pick since day one. He hasnt played a full season and hes already a bust.


I recall you freaking out when Pioli cut Pollard.

Jones? C'mon now. If this "moving McCluster to RB" thing is true, then we clearly know how they feel about Jones coming into this season.

How else would you describe a slot WR who is moved to #3 RB?

Can you explain how Dexter is going to live up to his draft potential as a #3 RB?

FYP...

Point is, WR is a much bigger position of need right now. And the gadgetguy they drafted high in the 2nd round last year has allegedly been relieved of trying to fill that need.

That's just orgasmically awesome.

Which is about 450 yards more than you could contribute. :deevee:

and we already have a RB who can do everything McCluster supposedly does, only better...who in their right ****ing mind would take charles out on 3rd down to put in our "3rd down back"?

Why do so many still get caught up in the idea that you can only have one scat back and we MUST have a power back? I'd rather have a team of home run hitters. Maybe that's just me. I like playmakers i guess.

And no one would take Charles out on 3rd down unless he needed it. Which is what we're talking about here. Finding a back equal to Charles' skill set is going to be damn near impossible. Comparing Dex to Charles isn't fair.

I don't want them to stuff a big, slow back in the backfield when Charles comes out. They need a shifty, fast replacement so our offense doesn't miss a beat.

Most teams are able to get backup scat-backs in the 4th or 5th round. And when forego the NT your defense desperately needs in favor of said scat back with the 34th overall pick, you've done something horrifyingly stupid.

It was an awful pick when it was made, it's an even worse one now. The amount of talent available in that 2nd round was truly staggering and we took a goddamn midget that can't play the position we had hoped for him.

And the best defense we can come up with is that it allows Haley, who was absolutely incompetent when calling plays 2 season ago, to be more creative in his offense. Yeah, that's gonna work out well.

The pick was a disaster.
