I was comparing them in terms of explosiveness. McCluster doesn't have the speed to pull away from a secondary. He's a lateral sort of shifty guy, more akin to Dante Hall. Thomas (like Sproles) does have that extra gear. He can hit hard north/south and turn plays that netted Dex 5 or 10 yards (before he was folded in half like a cheap lawn chair...) into a longer gain.

Yes, Sproles is more of a pure running back than Thomas. He's about 15 pounds heavier. I'm not saying they're the same guy. What I'm saying is that the end result is likely to be an improvement over McCluster.

I think we're all conditioned to expect less because of Dex. This guy may/should end up being more.
