The big problem is... now what? You've got 3 WRs in Bowe, Baldwin, and Breaston. You've got Jamaal Charles and you would want to bring in a thumper to take carries away from him. And as an 11th, you'd want an extra TE or a FB like McClain. Where is McCluster going to actually see snaps, other than being a 3rd down back who can shift to the slot? Unless you decide to get rid of Bowe and shift Breaston to the #2 receiver, but is Breaston capable of handling that as well as he does the slot?

I always felt KC should utilize him similar to how Saunders utilized Hall.
Hall didn't put up big numbers, but he was a constant distraction and decoy that went a long way toward opening up our offense. Teams paid attention to him, and usually they paid TOO MUCH attention to him.
McCluster seems to draw a lot of attention, and I'm not sure we take advantage of that.
