Evan Silva Doubting Tavon

[PowayRamFan]

Happy birthday. And didn't Tavon, in his limited time, have a couple top 5 all-time NFL marks??? Yeah, he's a bust. Evan needs to retire, IMO, he is getting loopy, and now even contradicting his own predictions, before year 2....way to straddle the fence my friend. If you straddle a fence too much, you get a fence post up your ass.

The need for instant gratification strikes again, give this guy a chance. I, for one, thought he had a damn fine rookie season, especially considering the QB situation. I guess he wanted 10+ touchdowns and 1000 yds out of the kid, just think that was unrealistic given the circumstances.

I can't say that he is "wrong" as in the fact that "as of yet" .. Tavon has not lived up to his draft position .... but again, it's early in his young career. We need to see if they intend to make him a bigger part of the offense ... or is he strictly a "gimmick player" ?

4th guy was Tiki Barber

it was the kurt warner effect.

disclaimer - that was just for old times sakes. they spent a year arguing with a troll about that at ramstalk, the idiots.

Yeah, I wonder if this will work in the NFL.

Considering he's a 10 year vet, playing against the worst defenses in the league, and surrounded by enormous talent it's even more troubling if you think about it.

This is what aggregates me the most with this stuff.

Very few rookies take the league by storm. Geez, is it that hard to understand this about the NFL?

Let's not forget Tavon's Rookie stats would have been a lot better if not for the fact he had several Td's called back and plays nullified by ST penalties!

Bingo

IMO he was just thinking way too much and not playing naturally. To make up for his frustration I think he tried to get going too fast before securing the ball. His hands should be much better this year.

The second half of the season his drop numbers plummeted. I think he's got that licked.
