Your hypothetical that he will make a leap this year is that hypothetical, and until this season starts there is zero reason to be arguing about it. Much less picking choosing answers to keep the narrative while ignoring others. While TL's first season and JF last season they produced almost the same percentage of yards with their arms, the total ypg was a whopping 64.4% more from TL. Also, bringing up the coach is just as much goalpost moving as you always call people out for
Of course he is still arguing his points (as we all do) but the difference is that he doesn't seem to be going out of his way to be aggravating.

That has always been what so many here hated

I have no problem with what he is saying here, not sure I agree with it, but he is carrying on a civil discussion

Carry on

The only way the Bucs could fit Jonathon Taylor under the salary cap is to trade away a highly paid veteran.

They could extend Evans or restructure Shaq and do it. They can even restructure or extend JT too. There are ways to get it done

I would argue that trading for Johnathon Taylor or any other big-name veteran would be a bad idea, and would speak more for desperation than it would to an aggressive move to compete.

For good or for ill, I think the Bucs we have this year should be the Bucs we keep. Don't trade away future draft capital to bolster this year's team, don't sacrifice future cap room for luxury additions.

Let Bowles cook with the ingredients in this kitchen; if he does well more power to him, and if he sucks let him seek other opportunities.

The Lions are squarely in, "We're not panicking, yet, but this guy better look like the future of the offense when he comes back" territory.

Well for now he's much closer to the Charles Rogers/Roy Williams/Mike Williams echelon than he is the Calvin Johnson one.

Good thing Amon Ra is a bonafide #1. Still early for Williams, but agreed not the best start.

I liked Stetson Bennett coming out in the draft. We will see if he can translate to the NFL.

The throw was not into a tight window, where's the defender, and still the guy had to make almost a circus catch to reach it, when the QB could have put it right in his hands for a less photogenic but higher percentage TD catch.

The rookie may be having a good camp, but this wasn't all that to me.

Based on the LB and how close #4 trailed after, it looks like it was perfect placement leading the receiver to where only he could get it.

The alternative would have been floating it over the LB, but that could have left it for the DB to breakup or jump depending where he was. Tough to really tell since you can’t see the route or DB coverage though.

One foot higher and one foot closer would have been perfect, the receiver could have kept on running, the LB still wouldn't have reached it, and the DB was still toast. It was a pretty good pass to be sure, and I'll concede the guys posting this had a better view of the whole play than I. But perfect? I dunno.

But you might be right, maybe that LB would have somehow gotten to it one foot higher and six inches towards the post compared to the track the pass actually took. This isn't really a pound-the-table issue, we're just looking at the same play a little differently.
