I have also noticed that he is looking for self preservation and avoiding unnecessary contact on the sidelines. Hopefully that keeps him healthy compared to last year.

As soon as I saw this thread title on the main page I thought the same thing.
It's lazy, amateur, selfish, irresponsible, bush league, weak, and destructive!

Honestly, over the years, I wasn't sure if it was the injuries, not knowing the plays, freelancing to go E-W rather than N-S or what limited his play the most. This year is notably different for him, and I suppose I'd rank the success factors as:
1. Staying healthy
2. Learning the plays (running correct routes, being patient for his plays)
3. Execution (less E-W, more N-S)
He does lack speed, but makes up for it with elusiveness. I don't know how well it will translate to the next level, but I'm grateful to have him on the team this year, and for him to be doing so well (finally).

@ltraz is right. No coach is playing a receiver who can't run routes and even freelances. Toney has become a genuine WR instead of just a gadget player. He gained weight which allows him to play stronger. He entered the season as a guy some nfl team might take a flyer on in rounds 6-7. He has now worked himself into the 2nd-3rd rounds according to projections.

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a player with his ankle breaking moves and quick acceleration with such a slow top end speed...it’s crazy. But man has he has improved and is really fun to watch

I look at it like this. If I am a defender and trying to tackle Percy, I am thinking "I hope I don't miss because he is going to the house." If I am trying to tackle Toney, I am thinking "I am GOING TO MISS, but I hope I can slow him down so help can get here." There is nothing embarrassing about getting outrun by Percy Harvin. Dude was the fastest footballer in pads I have seen. He looked like he was jogging and literally outrunning fast players. Toney is going to embarrass you to the point the coaches just put that **** on loop during film and everyone just laughs at you. I am surprised more defenders don't pull up with a cramp when he gets in their area.
What has impressed me as well is he is a much more polished receiver this year. And strong. Dude has been putting in work in the weight room.

The Gator Nation Podcast pointed out Delance missed the block on the pick six, not Reese, who was trying to save Delance’s screw up but the rusher got to Trask and hit his arm on release.
meanwhile, Toney had destroyed his DB on another great route and was running wide open. He would have had a fourth touchdown on something like seven touches.....

Hes still a three star on the consensus...your rating system is a little harsh

You know we all love you here, but going back and looking at forecast threads? Are you sure this is the direction we want to head?
