I'm like others. Hated the pick but starting to love and believe in the guy. I RARELY change my mind on a pick without the guy proving it on the field, but everything -- every damn thing -- I've read, seen or heard of the guy is positive, often extremely positive. I have to admit to barely even thinking about him in the draft build-up, so on draft day it was like, "WTF?!" But simply watching his highlights or game tapes tells you a lot. It ain't Mountain West defenses he's running away from or otherwise clowning. Numerous draft picks including our very own top-5-once-in-a-decade prospect looked all kinds of silly trying to defend McC in the open field.
It's the total yardage I'm not sure about, but would anyone really be surprised if he moved the chains 6-8 times on opening MNF? Any time I think abour out 3rd-down offense, I think about questionable pass pro, a questionable QB and questionable outside WRs' seperation skills; McCluster running a shifty flag or quick slant route and getting open for the "easy" Cassel pass seems like the best outcome.
