Now, I guess you can pump three-yard passes to McCluster all day long. But your offense is not going to move the ball that way.
It's a moot point anyway. If McCluster is going to be a running back instead of a wide receiver, his touches are not going to explode. I actually had some hope he might learn how to be an NFL wide receiver and be a 50-catch guy someday....now....he's probably going to be a 30-catch guy who carries the ball a couple times a game.
He will never, ever live up to his draft position. And I'm guessing the love for him will never, ever end as long as he makes one exciting play a month.

Maybe all he has to do is one exciting play a month? **** YEA a play making difference that changes a game in our favor. Much better than a 2.2 ypc as of Jones gives us. That could be 4 to 5 extra wins this season, that Dexter helps us achieve in this stacked deck against us schedule. Maybe he can give us a few more exciting plays a month, YOU don't know he wont. I don't know that he will, but am exited that he is going to get the opportunity. It was the break out plays that JC had last year that was the difference makers in most of our games, but he didn't get those all the time.
Never knew when JC was going to break one but we knew sooner or later in a game it was bound to happen.
So if we can add a player that is capable of those type of break out plays and not put the pressure on JC for that I am for it.
If we can get Jackie Battle some reps and less Jones, I am for that too.
Dexter is capable of being a dynamic RB, just have to wait & see how it pans out.
