We're definitely playing much better recently. Not gonna act like we're good. We're definitely mediocre being carried by a stud RB but mediocre is a helluva improvement from getting absolutely blown out at home by JMU. LOL -

LOLOLOLOL Yea, you didn't need to say that you haven't watched T-Mac a whole lot yet if you're also saying you don't see much quickness or explosiveness in him, as saying that is a clear sign you have no idea what you're talking about. No, he's not a speedster who is going change a game in the way a Tyreek does, but just saying he's a "big bodied receiver" is wildly unfair and show you really haven't watched him play other than maybe seeing a couple of his stupidly absurd highlight reel catches. If he's not already the #1 WR on every team's draft board after the season (and he will be on most of them by then anyways), he'll easily jump up there after the combine when people see his speed/agility on display against everyone else and the time's he'll put up. Yes, he's 6'5", but he's the furthest thing from a Kelvin Benjamin as possible if that's your concern in "chasing a big bodied receiver" He is an absolute BEAST making plays down the field on deep balls and using his size and absurdly strong hands to make catches over DBs, but he's also constantly used on short routes to get the ball into his hands and let him make defenders miss, which he does all the time as he has more than enough quickness for a WR his size. As Cam said, his widely used comp is Mike Evans. But I personally think they just use him to use a current player, and there are only a handful of WR's big enough to choose from, and frankly, yes, Evans is probably the best comp of current players. But he also used AJ Green, which I'm quite sure he got from me, lol, as that's the comp I've used for him for about 2 years now, from day 1, I've always seen AJ when watching him play, except T-Mac is actually an inch taller than AJ is. You can find those smaller, fast quick twitch type of WR's in middle rounds of the draft or FA, but 6'5" true outside WRs who have the speed and agility of someone more like 6'1" don't grow on trees, you can't get a WR like him outside the Top 10 in the draft. There's only a small handful of WRs who are even 6'5" these days, but none of them have T-Mac's speed/agility. Even with the Evans comp, T-Mac is faster and has more wiggle in his game than Evans (while Evans is a good 20 lbs heavier and a bit stronger, hence why I like the AJ Green comparison more). By the time he's ready to sign his 2nd NFL contract, T-Mac will be considered a unanimous Top 10 WR in the league and most people will even rank him in their personal Top 5. This isn't a guess, a prediction, or a hope, it's just a fact, because he's going to be THAT good at the next level. I've said this before, yes, I'm an Arizona alumni so I have a bias towards him. But at the same time, I've been confident in dozens of Arizona football and basketball players over the years, and have had some have panned out, some haven't. But there is only one other Wildcat player I've felt this strongly about as to who they would become in the NFL, and that was Gronkowski. I'm not saying T-Mac is going to become the best WR of all time like Gronk did as a TE, but I spent Gronk's 3 years in college telling everyone that he was the next big thing at TE in the NFL and he'd be a decade long All-Pro. Same goes for T-Mac. Draft him, don't be dumb.
