I do agree that it wasn't an accident Jones got the 3rd down draw to secure the FG, as stupid as that was.

I don't think McCluster can be Sproles, but I do think you are going to far to the extreme in how good he can be. He has had bad moments, but I think he can be a decent compliment to our offense when everyone is healthy.

Doesn't have to be either "he is awesome" or "he sucks".

Players like him are a dime a dozen.

And if he keeps fumbling, yes, he sucks.

Name 5. If they are a dime a dozen as you say.

If he does then you are right. People can fix that. I am not saying I would keep him over getting a 2nd round pick back, but I do think in time he can become a decent player for us. Dime a dozen is too strong IMO, especially this early.

I'm not saying it is his ceiling, I'm saying that's what you have to hold out hope he can be.

I think Pioli thought of him as Sproles. I think of him as a homeless man's Dave Meggett.

If you need bullets for a gun, I would be more than happy to supply them....

Charles had some fumble problems early on as well.

I think if we get McCluster about 15-18 total touches a game and have TJ and McClain split the carries that were all TJ last year we can still have a productive - perhaps even top 15 - running game...

The guy has been one of the bright spots here recently. I guess we will see what we have in him since he is at least getting more touches. Without him we would have the slowest group of running backs in the league.

McCluster leads the league in yards per attempt:

#1 McCluster 6.6
#2 Fred Jackson, McFadden, Vick 6.4
#9 Adrian Petersen 5.1
#16 Ryan Matthews 4.6
#39 Willis McGahee 2.9

I think there's a lot of butt-hurt going on around here because he wasn't this super-slot/Wes Welker the front office made him sound like.

He was a smaller, speedy, complimentary HB with great hands.

He should have stayed that from day 1.

This franchise keeps trying to out think themselves...

No one gives a shit. Any idiot with a little bit of speed can lead the league in YPA when all you do is run draw plays on passing downs.

:deevee:

and he is still going to out produce you on the NFL level..

spin it how you want... But unless he gets hurts and misses time.. He is going to planet another egg on your little gaby face....

Heres what I know:

Last year...I thought sproles looked slow and terrible. Like he was just done...

This year...the way the saints utilize him...he looks amazing and is so valuable...

I bet Dex would average 10 YPR in new orleans...the fact people are giving him shit for his lack of gains on receptions in this offense is hysterical.

Hootie 09-26-2011 09:02 AM

This offense is a god damn mess...I don't care if it is 3rd and 35...anyone who does anything positive (bowe, breaston, mccluster) it's cheer worthy!!! Yesterday was the perfect game. We embarrassed ourselves while not embarrassing ourselves, flirted with some history and then flamed out in dramatic fashion while continuing to suck for Luck! It was thrilling.
