Incredible ****ing strength.

You're a ****ing idiot, sac.

You're an idiot.

I said he was pretty strong for his size. And his size was small. And when you are small, you get rag dolled all the ****ing time by guys twice as big as you, just like McCluster did.

And that's why I said that taking McCluster v.II in this draft, De'Anthony Thomas, was a mistake as he's the same player as McCluster but isn't as strong. That means he's going to get rag dolled even worse.

You savvy?

So his strength, relative to his size, and in comparison to Thomas makes no ****ing difference.

Thomas is faster and far more elusive, and you selling that he is the same as McCluster is sheer fabricated, stupid, bullshit.

Faster?

Sure. 8/100th's of a second faster to be exact. Wow. That's some serious difference right there.

More elusive?

You tell me:

Against NFL players:

DAT:

Combine Measurements:

McCluster
5'9"
172 lbs.
29 1/4" Arms
8 3/8" Hands
40: 4.58
Vertical: 37.5"
Bench: 20 reps

Thomas
5'9"
174 lbs.
29 7/8" Arms
8 1/2" Hands
40: 4.50
Vertical: 32"
Bench: 8 reps

So, bro, what do you think the difference is between 20 reps at 225 lbs. and 8 reps at 225 lbs.? And then, once your mind clears on that, tell me what a guy weighing 172 lbs. doing 20 reps at 225 lbs. would be? (Pretty ****ing strong is the answer if you are struggling with it.)

Career college stats:

McCluster
Rushing:
304 attempts
1955 yards
6.4 ypc
15 TDs

Receiving:
130 receptions
1703 yards
13.1 ypc
7 TDs

Thomas
Rushing:
243 attempts
1890 yards
7.8 ypc
26 TDs

Receiving:
113 attempts
1296 yards
11.5 ypc
15 TDs

Holy shit! For two guys of exactly the same height, weight, arm, hand, speed, etc., playing exactly the same positions for their respective college teams, those stats are amazingly close.

****ing weird.

But, like you said, they are nothing alike. So, because it's you who said it, it must be true, right?

Sure. Milkman said something. Close the book.

Thomas is like 8 mil cheaper

Yep, if he is even EQUAL to Macs abilities, we win in cap room! (But, I think he will be leaps and bounds ahead of Mac)

Leaps and bounds?

Gonna miss Dex. I'd have found a way to keep him.

I would have liked to have seen what he could have done year # 2 of Reid and Toub.

Exactly- we replaced an explosive special teams/wr/rb with his clone and saved all that cap space while getting a younger player.

We upgraded. Was tired of seeing McCluster be the small, kind of shifty, and slow guy on the team. At least Thomas is actually explosive and has world class speed with great football instincts on top of that.
