i agree. I think he won't exactly put up consistent 100 yard games, but the mismatches he can create can open up both the run and pass game.

i think he would do 100-150 yards/game consistently....combined. and i don't have a problem with that.

the guy is a weapon.

Austin, Rhodes, Richardson, and Vaccaro.

I highly suspect our pick will be 1 of those 4

i have a tough time limiting it to just four. i mean right off the bat i could throw in there cyprien/vaccaro and i still get that feeling that allen will be a panther for some reason.

several ways we could go and i wouldn't be unhappy with any of them.

His size really concerns me. Steve Smith is a freak. He plays a helluva lot bigger than he actually is and he's tougher than fuging nails. Tavon is nowhere near as stoutly built as Smitty and I don't know how he'll hold up taking hits from NFL DBs and LBs going over the middle.

Tavon = small framed-overhyped-injury prone-gimmick player. He may show flashes of brilliance from time to time on the next level, but I see him fizzling out like every other small, overrated WR coming into the NFL.

Tavon did not miss one game due to injury in his life, and indeed never missed a practice his whole collegiate career. The injury prone remark is not accurate in the slightest.

I wish he were bigger. But pound for pound he might be the best player in the draft. I just don't know if he can stay healthy. This is the NFL, not college.

It is what it is. A gamer is a gamer. I know what you're saying about the NFL and all, but there are big strong dudes with bad intentions at the collegiate level also. If Tavon was bigger, he wouldn't be Tavon, and we wouldn't be having the discussion because he'd likely be gone by the third pick.

he's stayed healthier than most coming thru college. injuries happen, tho. it might seem like it, but he'll be no more prone to injury than anyone else.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
