You're not even saying shyt. What exactly was he supposed to do in just a few games? Last time I checked Cam Ward playing like ass, Jeanty aint doing shyt. They're rookies and Trav is trying to pull off some shyt no one else has done in the modern day. You act like he's been trash, he's pretty much been average on both sides of the ball which is a good start for just 3 weeks. He's already forcing the Jags to play him more defensively than initially anticipated. So you're really not saying shyt.

A better comparison would be against the WR/CB taken after him. The issue is that he has to be near the tippy top of each of those positions for the pick to make sense. I see him being capable of being a top corner moreso than a receiver so honestly should just cut the bullshyt and have most of his snaps there.

I can't really recall the last skill player that went on to be amazing looking average early. If you can please let me know.

No he doesn't, if he's elite at one while being above average at the other he's providing more value than most guys.

The Jags are misusing him, they went from planning to use him mostly at WR to now using him mostly at CB in a matter of weeks. They need to figure out a defined role for him, it can't be scattered like this in his rookie season.

His catch and run yesterday shows what he can do when he has the ball in space. On defense he's been good enough that the Jags a have greatly increased his snaps. In 3 weeks he's already had a 6 catch game and a 6 tackle game. Only a matter of time before he does it on the same day.

I can't really recall the last skill player besides Deioin that was attempting to play WR and CB full time. If you can please let me know.

If that vid you linked was posed to be the smoking gun of his playmaking IDK that looks like shyt most WRS are doing weekly.

If hes elite at one, why wouldn't you just play him at that one and maximize him there :unsure:

Deion only put real burn in at WR for ONE season, so even if we using him as the template thats nonsense since obviously his biggest impact was as a CB. Deion got 60 receptions over his whole career and damn near 40 of them came in one :dead:

Oh yea this gone be a long season for you. You are in denial. I’m gon bump this thread and @ you every 4 weeks :mjlol:

It’s easy to make y’all look stupid bc your takes are driven with emotion, not actual analysis. ‘His QB is bad’. Ok let’s look at the absolute worst QBs this year by QBR:

Cam ward- fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor—-ironically he got on the map by busting Travis ass—-is shining …Russell Wilson- Nabers (and Wandale) have got theirs (let alone Nabors last year)…Flacco- Cedric Tillman gettin his…Geno smith- Jakobi Myers AND Tre Tucker gettin there’s on top of Bowers…Tet has Bryce, Ricky pearsall has Mac Jones

So ‘His QB bad’ is such a lame excuse. The foreshadowing of all this was there y’all are as just just too emotional to accept it. In order to excel at WR or CB you gotta be a technician. He isn’t at either position. And I place that blame on Deion for letting him play both ways. He probably didn’t have enough time on take at either position. Y’all really thought he was just gon out-athlete nggas in the nfl :mjlol:

Too much ego in all them words

We should be asking why he only got 2 targets

He's playing evenly on both

He's just not being featured on offense.. They're doing exactly what they said.

He was never going to step in and be the number 1 receiver. They've talked about him having a lot more to learn on offense and that's why he started that way.

One of our corners got injured and he stepped up his count on that side a lot sooner than expected. But it was also said he could likely just step on the defensive side day one and be ok.

On offense he's still grasping the playbook and lining up wrong (we had to call a to because of it Sunday) but that's expected too.. It's been three games
