CRA

He got up did a workout before watching Netflix all day. I mean that’s the picture painted. I mean, just lie to us Panthers. It’s not that hard to do

For those wanting to know what he has been up to this offseason…. "Literally. Nothing," he replied with a laugh. "I was kind of away from football for the most part, just living every other aspect of my life”

Video or it didn’t happen, bot!

and overall I’d simply much rather have Bell than either of the WRs if we go shopping at FSU

Legette IMO is the better athlete, faster than Coleman and better at the contested jump ball I think you can knock both of their route running and press issues. 89 doesn’t like Coleman’s route running in pads or in shorts. 89 consistently talked about Coleman’s interviews turning teams off. Wish he would have elaborated on exactly why he was turning teams off but he didn’t. I just think in terms of ceilings I’d rather gamble on the guy with the highest one and to me that’s Legette

what exactly does Coleman offer over Leggette? I get not loving Leggette, I don’t get liking Coleman if you don’t like Leggette though

Trading down more times than not has you kicking yourself in hindsight. when you suck you got lots of holes. I disagree with watering down picks to gain numbers

yep, I'm all about the WR double dip. Skill position O overall in the draft. Throw a bunch young talent out there against the wall. Something will stick/hit. go rent Gilmore and rent a backup C in FA.

yeah, the combine changed things for him IMO. He went from bottom of 2/top of 3.....to bottom of 1/top of 2.

clearly people not prioritizing medicals on these QBs. I mean, there was no evidence those dudes had it and yet no one took a look to confirm it. All it takes is a quick look.

Trade down by Fitterer's assistant GM??

what this team needs....is Will Shipley. Some orange blood running through our veins. We've been trying to build this ship off Gamecocks for a long time.

great QBs don't make good mentors. Tom Brady has gone in great detail about how he essentially has derailed backup QBs from developing.

I don't like the sprinkle everywhere approach. One of the most impactful drafts we had in terms of immediate impact was a double dip draft at DT. We had a DT issue. We focused on fixing that one problem. It got fixed. I'm going to keep doing WR double dip gymnastics until they fail to do that. I think once you hit round 4.....certain positions are better. You probably are not going to solve anything but project depth at some spots there. A 4th or 5th round C pick has super low odds of working out. I think RB is a place you can get legit committee help right away.

in fairness, Morgan and Canales are also essentially forced to take that stance.....given the Panthers just drafted Young and gave up the farm for him. I mean, I'm not a Young believer. Or at least not in terms of ever reaching what his draft status says he should be. But if I got the gig of HC, I know I'd be forced to take the stance going into this year that he is the answer.

I don't think 89 backed off anything in his evaluation. This happens to be a deep and good WR draft class. 89 essentially likely has Leggette going higher than Metcalf did. Metcalf went 64th in his draft.

That's not all Leggette. That pass O was a joke until Rattler came on late his first year. Which is about when Leggette started to develop. and if we are honest, the U of SC pass game was wildly inconsistent with Rattler because of the OL and playcalling. The fact Leggette had a dominant season out of U of SC is pretty amazing given how he plays and the hurdles. It's not like he is out there catching some bullshit routes all game.

preseason looks always show some basic and core building blocks to an offense. Especially a new one you are installing. You can't really make up fake offense given you are trying to teach everyone the new one.

my ideal draft is Ladd, Leggette with the WR double dip in rounds 2....then picking up Shipley, Bell and Stiggers late. I'd be okay w/ the Shipley overdraft. Ideally round 4 though.

yeah, worst case scenario is teams know Carolina likes a kid....that their insiders already knew the Panthers liked. and if you wanted to get creative. If I wanted him at 39 and not 33.....I could draft Ladd at 33 and then folks might leave him there at 39. Because I think if you draft him at either spot you are over drafting a kid you are sold on. but, I want the WR double dip which ensures the Panthers don't do such. I got the odds super low they actually do what I want.

I don't think he is dumb. I think he is trying to make it known he WANTS to play for a team that likely most people would prefer not to get selected too. That's just a reality. And you want dudes that are all in and excited. I mean, it might not work out in his favor but I would say that easily could be a calculated decision. So all things being equal between him and another player.....you want the dude excited and that wants to be a Panther? Or the dude who is like awe, poo.....the Panthers drafted me. Because you know those players exist. I mean, he wants to play for his local team that played in his backyard growing up. That's a lot of players. I don't think teams are going to ding a talented kid that's then going to have a chip on his shoulder if he doesn't go there. You here about that chip a lot too.

yeah, and I think he clearly has had some hardships. Losing both his parents. His support system simply might be more Carolina based and important to him and less mobile. I couldsee him getting cherry picked to some random city across the country maybe being harder for him and him wanting to stay close to what he knows. I mean, I think it is clear he wants to play for us. Which to me, is a positive. I think he is playing that card. I personally really like Leggette. I've been firm on that for some time. I just don't like him at the top of round 2.

really looking forward to preseason, I hope Canales is going to be bringing a fresh offensive take to Carolina that doesn't look like Tampa on repeat. I think we need to be doing some different things given our QB and WR setup.

He is from Mullins, SC and stayed in SC to play his college ball. Sounds like he wants to STAY in Carolina. Which I could see Leggette really wanting to be here. Which he could be playing that angle hard from his side too as a play to get drafted by the team he wants. The despite you sucking so hard, you are my dream team card.

well, some of that is on us though, not the WR. You want a WR to come in and contribute.......team has to also put in them in position for early success with their scheme and QB play.
