I know that some fans refuse to see it, but it's still there for anyone with open eyes..
Ask yourself, honestly, if these are the actions of a team that is happy with Tavon:
Woods signed in FA.
Kupp drafted.
Reynolds drafted.
Watkins acquired via trade.
Are those the actions of a team that's sold on Tavon's long term future as a Ram? Emphasis on the word "actions" as opposed to PR interviews.
Then, Tavon misses virtually all of camp due to two separate injuries.
Tavon reduced to non-starter status.
Tavon only getting a handful of snaps per game.
Tavon with 2 critical muffed punt receptions (almost a third).
Meanwhile, O goes on a tear with new players brought in, largely without Tavon on the field.
Could the message possibly be more clear?
Ummmmm...
Yeah, McVay will try his best to make the best of Tavon for the rest of this season. You know, gadget plays and decoy stuff? But it could scarcely be more obvious that Tavon is not in Ram long term plans. Not unless he agrees to voluntarily slash his salary to about one fifth of it's present size, that is.
Time to just face it. The trade up and the pick, for whatever reason, just didn't work out. Time to move on. I have.
