If McKittrick is gone, I for one will miss him. One of the most exciting players on the roster, he's woefully underutilized in this offense. I don't care that he has issues with McChoke, I have issues with McChoke. He kept Gabe on the bench all year, didn't play Bates, benched McKittrick for 3 games because of 1 fumble. People here still lament us cutting Andre Roberts, and HE FUMBLED 4 TIMES in his last year here. He wasn't benched, he didn't get the shade being thrown McKittrick's way. All this kid has done since he got here is make plays. He gets first downs on nearly 50% of his touches. We used to run the jet sweep 4 and 5 times a game, now we run it once or twice a game.
Before I get hit with the "but the 3rd and 2 against the Chiefs", let's break that play down. McKittrick is in motion to the left at full speed, but stops, turns around, and immediately takes the handoff on a sweep to the right. Dabollocks over-thought this one. He completely killed McKittrick's momentum by having him change direction, and clearly the Chiefs were not fooled. When the blocks failed on the outside, they tackled him for no gain, and McChoke punted. Just run the jet sweep in one direction and let McKittrick get up to full speed.
If he does end up leaving, I hope he goes to a team that will fully utilize his talents, instead of benching him multiple games for a fumble (something that didn't happen with Roberts). He proved his worth against the Fish last year, and the Cheats this year. I just don't understand the shade thrown at this guy by this board.
