Thats why Battle got less touches right? Battle isn't even close to McCluster. If they are giving it to Battle it's because Jones keeps getting 1-2 yards when they ask him to smash it up the middle.

Whatever guys. He can't play regular RB and his receiving is garbage.

Sounds like a winner.

his receiving is garbage?

He doesn't even run real routes! But when he does, he has shown unbelievable hands for a RB...

he has NO chance to shine in this offense

None.

Just like everyone else. The creativity is gone...this offense is horrendous and Dexter McCluster shouldn't be judged because of it...

You, however, implied he couldn't take more than 2 hits per week without breaking...that seems to be false.

Funny, Battle is the type of back that complements a FB, and vice versa, with McClain. You have to look at that, due to attrition.

He's garbage with the ball in his hands in space. He has definitely had plays where he has been one on one with guys and just goes down easy. Highly overrated because people fell in love with his college tapes.

And he is going to break.

Would be an OK value if he was a 4th or 5th rounder.

So is Jones. There are all smash mouth runners.

The one mccluster carry I saw today was one where he was immediately met in the backfield by a linebacker and couldntbreak it, so I guess he sucks....

So you don't think he'd excel in the role Darren Sproles currently occupies in New Orleans?

No. He has never shown an ability to be an effective player who can make guys miss in the open field. He's good at dancing around and swishing his dreadlocks wildly and turning two-yard passes into 4-yard gains though.

even though Sproles looked like shit in Turner's shit offense that tried making him a between the tackles runner?!?

Suddenly he goes to a Sean Payton offense and now he's *arguably* their best player on offense (and most important) other than Drew Brees...

that doesn't say something to you?

Sproles was AWFUL last year.

Are you an idiot Hootie?

Sproles had almost 900 yards from scrimmage and 7 TD under Turner one year.

Dexter is never going to come close to that...ever...

he had 840 and averaged 3.7 YPC...he wasn't used correctly...and that was 2 years ago with LT still on the team...

last year he was atrocious on that team in that role...(and he was in a very, very friendly offense, unlike Dexter)

look at him in a Sean Payton offense this year...

he's averaging like 9 YPC on 15 carries and about 9 YPR on 26 receptions...

they use him perfectly for his skillset in a potent offense where he was the PERFECT signing...

Dexter could easily be doing that in New Orleans...no doubt about it

but you don't have the ability to think outside the box...you, Mr. Ego (and I don't know why it's a message board) dubbed McCluster as fail before the season and won't even recognize the fact he has no chance to succeed in this offense this year...literally impossible...and he's doing far better than just about anyone on the team...picks up positive yards on most carries and doesn't drop the ball...doesn't get a lot to work with...but he's tough and takes hits and gets back up every time...

you said he'd break...

when is that going to happen? You can't just keep saying "just wait"...I'm waiting...

You've been dead wrong so far and now you're just using his shitty YPR as a defense mechanism...no one would gain positive yards with the passes he gets...most of the time he's lucky to get back to the LOS...

you're the idiot on this one buddy

Dexter gets upp immediately everytime he's hit. And its usually hard. So clearly hes a fragile player

Dexter is still on pace to flame GoFraud on the touches...


If he touches the ball at least 6 times a game for the rest of the season... Its over for GoBoy...

Yeah, there goes my sig! :rolleyes:

FYI, he has to crack 80 carries for me to lose my bet.
