MCM Player Reviews: Justin McCareins

One word sums up the McCareins experiment: DISASTER.
For all of the good qualities Jeff Fisher has as a coach, he has one really bad one in his extreme loyalty to veteran players even when they are terrible. That was the case this season with McCareins. All he did was block the way for either Brandon Jones or Lavelle Hawkins to get on the field. Now we have heard plenty about The Hawk not being able to catch on so you could make the argument he did not play his way onto the field, but Brandon Jones did everything he could have done to earn that shot. He didn't get it because of Fisher's loyalty.
McCareins is a step slow and doesn't have very good hands. Luckily the front office was smart enough to only sign McCareins to a one year deal so we don't have to worry about him wasting a roster spot in 2009.

I don't know wtf happened to him in NY
but he’s a shell of the WR he was before he left… good riddance.
Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.
I think he was the beneficiary of Steve McNair’s one truly transcendent, great year. How many times have we seen Tom Brady’s receivers go somewhere else and accomplish nothing. I think that’s what happened to McCareins, he wasn’t ever any good.

I"m not going that far at all...
he made some studly catches that year. Maybe it was a one year/two year fluke, but he deserves credit for the level he played at back then…

Some of the personnel decisions that Fisher makes just make you scratch your head. Another one that comes to mind was the year he started DeRon Jenkins in the secondary. That guy got burned so many times for big plays that fans on the ESPN message boards used to refer to him as “Toast.”

to illustrate how horrible mcCairens was this season...
it took me about 20 minutes to find a picture of him from this season with the titans for the graphic above.
Let Haynesworth go and resign McCareins!
He shoulda made the Pro Bowl.
Where were you when Alge fumbled? I was in 339, hatin' Music City Miracles!
