If a team with a brain gave him a contract, they'd give him a smaller contract to be an effective slot possession receiver, which he is.

DAT should be the gadget slot option, McCluster should be the possession slot option. We need reliable hands receivers and McCluster was actually pretty terrific in the 4th quarter. He is a significant upgrade over Hemmingway.

I've disagreed a lot with your takes, but this one might be the worst.

McCluster a possession option? GTFO.

If you took a room full of stupid, compressed it, and under high pressure were to extract it's essence...this is what you'd get.

You are the definition of polarizing overreactor if you see any stupid in any of these statements:
-Dexter McCluster developed very good hands
-Dexter McCluster became a good route runner
-Dexter McCluster is a better option than Junior Hemmingway, who only has 89 yards this season

Is CP seriously this ****ing polarizing that they want to call McCluster dog shit just because they don't like him? McCluster isn't a gadget receiver. He's not a playmaker. He's not a yards after carry guy. He's not a better slot receiver for playmaking plays versus DAT. So yeah, the guy isn't even close to as good as we thought he was.

But McCluster became a solid #4 option (or 3b... whatever you want to call it) and was a solid 3rd down option, and in fact over half of his yards last year (268 total) came on third down situations. Toward the end of last year, it became clear he was one of Smith's favorite targets in the 4th quarter.

You are essentially trying to carry water in a paper bag rather than a paper towel.
That's the rough difference between McCluster and Hemingway.

Dexter was NEVER a solid route runner in the slot/at WR. He was ****ing terrible.

Dexter was an excellent weapon as a HB out of the backfield like Kevin Faulk or in a role similar to Sproles (while nowhere near as productive.)

Comparing him to Jr. Hemmingway is like comparing my foot to my ear.

That's not it at all.

And that right there, in your own words, is why he's nowhere near what he was paid and every reason to let him go...

worthless piece of crap, terrible pick, we're better without him, replaced with a more dynamic player for a 4th, and we missed out on paying him $$ he isn't worth

one of the best decisions dorsey has made

This, but the butt hurt his is causing is awesome though....

[JCharles1981]

McCluster was doing amazing with the Chiefs as a kick returner. The reason he is sucking now is because he's having to spend the entire season adapting to a different, offensive formation with the Titans.
