Really? Let's compare McCluster to Jackson when he came out... 1. Jackson plays flanker, McCluster plays the slot. I wonder which position gets cracked by safeties and linebackers more? 2. McCluster will get snaps at runningback, Jackson doesn't, therefore the risk of injury increases. 3. Jackson has better hands. 4. Jackson has better speed. 5. Jackson is bigger. I don't know where you got your measurements, but he's as short as Jones-Drew and still half of Jones-Drew's size. Hell, Jones-Drew probably has 50 lbs. on him and runs quicker. Even their new RB, Deji Karim, is around his height and probably has 50 lbs. on him too. McCluster will catch 15-20 receptions and probably 200 yards, give or take. Nevermind, he'll get killed by McClain in Week 9 if he even lasts that long.
jackson is 5-9 roughly 170 and even that is generous...hes about the same, but your right, a completely different kind of player. i dont think hell get snaps at RB btw
i still think itd be goobered to dump our best running back michael bush, hes hungry to be a good player... somethin the raiders lack..
