I would say that I could sacrifice his offensive consistency for a better catching consistency Way too many pass balls, that allow runners to take the next base or score. And his arm is basically for waving, and not throwing out runners.
Garver's a tough read. When he's hot, he's RED hot, and when he's cold, he's absolute zero. If he could achieve some level of consistency on offensive skills, and really work harder on his defensive, skills, you still have a decent level player.
Football is also a spectator sport, and has no qualms about allowing the defense to do whatever it wants on it's side of the line of scrimmage.
5 yard contact rule, no contact to the receiver if ball in air, illegal pick, etc. Several rules debunk your statemnt.
I also don't appreciate your 'strawman' comment. I'm not trolling, just trying to put forth a valid point.
