McCluster is a gimmick player. period.
He got more touches last season because of injury, but he still is nothing more than a gimmick player.
He's gimmick player that can't break tackles, nor can he make people miss, so he's a useless ****ing gimmick player.

As a RB, he's so-so. He was more productive than he gets credit for (especially if you subtract out the massive amount of stupid playcalls that had him running up the gut). But yes, at best, he's a situational runner. Not a guy you want as your #1, but you could do worse if he's your #2 or #3 guy.
As a slot receiver (yes, with some gimmicky ability to motion all around the field), it's way too soon to say what he has. His legs seemed to have more life toward the end of the season, and I think it's more than reasonable to wonder if his late season success was due to finally having a QB who knows how to stretch out the field, which opens up the underneath stuff for him. I could give a shit if he breaks tackles like a champ. We all know that the key is to get him the ball in space with a reasonable amount of room to make people miss.
But regardless of his future, yes, in 2012, the Chiefs really have no choice to use him as a gimmick unless they lose somebody either to injury or to free agency.
