We are human, and we make mistakes. If I am wrong about Tavon, it will be the biggest
'wrong' I ever made in the NFL; and I have to say I will trust McVay before I trust anyone on this
board....a lot of smart, smart guys who would be better GMs than 1/2 the guys trying in the NFL.
However, McVay turned around a historically bad offense; and re-did a morbid WR corps and re-made 3 mediocre
2016 lineman into part of a great O line....best since 1986in Ramland in my mind. Says a lot about McVay and
deafening silence about Tavon. I do believe Tavon will make plays, for sure, in 2018. HOw many? 3,4,5 or 30?
NcVay wasn't interested in tweaking his system to fit in what Tavon does.
That is why I keep saying this (often, several times in this thread):
This not a dispute about whether Tavon or McV are "to blame" for how Tavon was used last year.
It is not a choice between who to blame.
Tavon HAS done more than he did last year. He just has. It's there. I posted a vid showing a lot of it and I quote Linehan talking about it.
But saying McV did not use Tavon in all those ways isn't a criticism. I was saying last spring before the season started that there was a good chance McV would not be interested in tweaking his system to fit in what Tavon does.
It's a false choice to claim it's one (Tavon bad) or the other (McV bad).
In terms of being wrong about Tavon, you already are. His own record, and that includes game tape and stats, shows you can use him more in the passing gam,e than McV did. It's just a fact. That's just a matter of the record.
And AGAIN McV's lack of interest in using Tavon in the passing game is not a criticism. He did not draft Tavon and had no obligation to tweak things for the sake of getting Tavon involved catching passes.
So yeah Tavon could do more, he already did in prior years. But no McV was not interested in adjusting things to fit that in...which is not a "failing," it's a choice, and not an issue.
