Still doesn't mean his yards will go up. In reality they are simply more likely to drop because the offense will be more predictable.
Tavon 7th in touchdowns now....

You know I was thinking about this while I watched the game Thursday night.
A lot of posters slam him, and slam Fisher/Snead for not having "play makers" or "difference makers" and there is #11 right in front of their noses.
LULZ!

Wes Welker wasnt a "world beating" wr either when he was getting 120-130 catches a season. You dont have to be Julio Jones to get targeted a lot. Antonio Brown is not in the mold of those guys either, sort an enigma in his own right as well.
Play makers? Two yea. But we lack a playmaker at probably the most important position on the field in today's NFL.
Tho not having a consistent play maker at the WO position is always a problem.
Gotta admit, I was one of those who doubted Tavon would ever be worth the high pick. Not so much because of him, but because of their inability to utilize him correctly. He has a special skill set that not many can match, if any. Can you imagine what a creative offensive mind can do with a talent like that? And because he won't be a league leader in one offensive category the only way he'll make the pro bowl is as a returner.

He had a 67 yard return against AZ that was nullified (not a TD)
and the TD against Detroit.

I think the emergence of Gurley has had a lot to do with that, and I have to agree with that ... but being a pro bowler or not just isn't an effective measure of his overall impact for the team.
All that I know, is that Tavon has become one of our best players this year, and damn exciting to watch.
Austin was totally worth his draft spot.
He's a unique weapon, insane quickness, cut-ability, acceleration, speed, and can score anytime the ball is in his hands. Who else fits this description in the NFL right now?
I'd like to see a few more carries as a RB, which isn't among popular opinion. But, it gets him more touches.

We really need to tailor the offense around him and Todd. The more I think about it, the more I'm on board with @jrry32's idea of getting that dipshit Colin Sackorpick on this team and run the read-option with Todd & Tavon in the backfield. The other missing piece would be a badass tight-end to peel off and get open downfield.
I don't like CK... As a 49er. I also dislike other aspects of him as a leader.
But... Fisher knows how to reel in players that need a tug on the leash. Perhaps that resolves the leadership concern.
I believe CK might be a good fit here seeing how the QB class is a little unsettled and our draft position is outside top 10. Kaep is not a read the D quarterback, but he's got some talent to move an offense... In the right environment.

Also props to Tavon in the punt return game and I'm not talking about taking it to the house. I'm talking about decision making, fair catch, ball security, letting it bounce, etc. Remember all the previous years when you'd practically hold your breath on punt returns with the wild cards we've had back there in the past. I know he coughed one up at Baltimore but all in all a totally solid year in that department. Rounding into just a great "football player" period!
