Yea, anyone remember how he was being lauded this year in camp? Then the season started and he went back immediately to being irrelevant game days. Who could have predicted that? I remember those days in August where so many fans were forecasting McFarland's greatness. THIS was the year he was putting it ALL TOGETHER. Another Shades' "inside information" MD pick falters once again.
Really? I honestly don't recall any of that.
Methinks this give Myles Jack a hat this week...
Bingo.
It was being said on another board
It was being posted on some other Steeler boards: McFarland had the speed like no other RB we had, he just had injury issues until now, now we were going to see him complete Canada's system and really excel. I was not so convinced.
LOL Same fools thought kenny was gonna be a stud and a healthy Najee was gonna show all the haters and cement himself as the bellcow? Mcfarland was fools gold from day 1.
And that Mount Washington was gonna threaten Eric Green's production, AND that Austin was gonna be one of the league's most dangerous deep threats, etc. McFarland has never been anything but fool's gold, his main accomplishment was he played for MD, which Shades drools over for some reason. Enough with the Shade's philosophies and quirks, freakin' enough with his bull s--- already. Enough.
Name two people here that said that...
Austin was supposed to be a burner. Has shown no speed. The only burner in the afc north that has backed up the hype this year was keaton mitchell in baltimore before he got hurt. That kid looked like a weapon and was pretty much baltimores best RB as a rookie.
Except when he's absolutely smoked defenders on deep routes and end arounds, but when you don't even bother to use him it's hard for him to show his speed
Remember the days of the old adage "he was never used properly, he'd look good in black and gold"......now we're the team not using players properly......what a sad state we are in
