There wasn't a moment of the day that I couldn't at least hear helicopters. -
Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses. In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands. T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL. Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level. Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is. It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general. You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth. I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all. But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities. -
