This is the NFL flag guy people aren't going to be open .5 seconds into the play

Go fug yourself. I can tell you’re a bitch irl

What an embarrassing performance by the team as a whole tonight. And people wonder why we’re the clowns of the league. 

Well to be fair, no one was really open. His 2nd down pass was rough though

Meh, it's preseason. Honestly, I think he was significantly over hyped but we'll see.

He had no blocking. Watch his last run. He was hit 5-7 yards behind the LOS. Still made a guy miss but was swarmed by multiple defenders. Box scores don’t always tell the story. Esp when he had primarily backups blocking for him. He’ll be fine.

Lmfao the average "good"  rookie season for all first round WRs is 700 yards and 5tds....

That includes all high first rounders, while he is a first rounder pretending 32nd is the same same as top ten Is hilarious. 

Lol 700? Ok. Speak for yourself. MHJ had 885 yards last year and was widely considered a disappointment. Same with Rome. Find me any fan from those teams and I’d bet you they expected both of them to have better seasons. Nabers and Thomas both had well over 1k. Thomas was pick 23 and is already a top 7 WR. Even early 2nd round WR’s are expected to perform. Ask a Patriots fan about Ja’Lynn Polk. They’re already wanting to trade him. WR’s entering the NFL are more pro ready than ever before with the 7on7 culture in HS and passing attack college offenses. All I’m saying is that XL needs to show vast improvement this year. He is already 24 years old. When you label a 24 year old WR as a developmental player, maybe he’s just not that good. But keep coddling him if you’d like.

XL has the best day of the receivers, and fans complain that he's not catching it away from his body, with his hands. 

First of, he's catching them. That requires hands.  

Second,  should we ask the QB to not throw the ball less accurately? 

This place just gets so damn insufferable.  

Catching the ball with your body in the NFL is not sustainable. Period. Yes, he caught the ball and had a good day, but that doesn’t fix the root of his problem.. EVERY clip I’ve seen of him this TC has been him cradling the ball with his body. What’s going to happen if the DB is riding XL,s back in tight coverage? Multiple times last year the DB got to the ball before XL because he was waiting for the ball instead of attacking/plucking the ball out of the air with his hands. Watch how TMac and Coker catch the ball. It’s night and day.

XL basically had one season of production. TMac had multiple. We knew Legette was going to be a work in progress when we drafted him.

If you folks had all this patience for Bryce and still do as a third year player idk why you harp so bad on Xavier before he's even played a single snap in the regular season of his second year.

Well comparing a QB and a WR is a lot different. 1st round WR’s are expected to make an impact immediately. Plus, most people didn’t have patience for Young.. Reminder when he was struggling? The pitchforks were out. Only his play on the field changed people’s opinions.  XL was a first round pick. He needs to perform. Plain and simple. No more excuses.

It’s insane how different he and TMac are. Watch his TD catch he looks slow off the line with no separation then somehow just snags a TD catch out of nowhere way away from the DB. XL is just the complete opposite in every way. 

Granted, the ball was thrown a little behind him which makes catching the ball with your hands more difficult, but it’s every clip without exception. True though. T-Mac is a pure WR who plucks the ball out of the air. It’s a pleasure to watch. Young looking his way constantly in the first joint practice says a lot of how it’s going to be this season. Can’t wait.

Still catches with his body in almost every clip I see

Why does this have 11 pages?

I thought the same thing. Somehow i missed this thread and the whole idea of trading an up and coming young WR for a LB with an expiring contract is silly. 

Unless he suffers a severe injury. There’s a 99.999% chance Renfrow makes the team.

sounds like Trevin is trying to make a name

I hope so. We need him to step up 

Maybe they have had faith in Demani Richardson for a while now. Hence why we never signed Blackmon or Simmons. Let’s hope he keeps it going.  We sure need help that FS position. 

He needs to stop being such a nice guy this year. I’d rather him be a little crazy like so much WR’s are. He comes across as timid and unsure of himself in his interviews. 

It’s a shame that we didn’t build a strong enough/positive rapport with Frankie Luvu that would’ve convinced him to sign back with us a few years back. Still hate seeing him on the Commanders.

It truly amazes me that there are people in this fanbase so brazenly averse to simple realities.

I mean we're over here desperate AF to establish a culture. Really any kind of culture. And some of you need to have this explained to you why it looks pitiful to try and publicly drag a rookie over minor things like this.

You deserve a poverty franchise "bro".

If your idea of building a positive team culture is hitting the quarterback, then I have no words for you. Justin Fields just just went down by being pressured on a pass….. Anything can happen. Let’s lower that probability as low as possible.

You don’t touch the QB. Period. It could be HS. College. NFL. Doesn’t matter. 

He could  end up being Theilen’s long term replacement in the slot

Kyzir White is available 

This. He should be a target for us. At this point we just need an experienced player who can be serviceable and serve as depth. ILB get injured a lot

No you've just become an oldhead my brother. Most popular music is sex/money/drugs and always has been. 

The country couple is cute together but it does worry me a bit that Legette's a social media cowboy crush before he's even football famous. Like if Taylor Swift was at the beginning of Kelce's career. Normally athletes have to stay relevant in their sport to date in this sphere but Xavier has a modeling career waiting for him if his day job ends up being a bust.

Yeah. He’s becoming famous for everything BUT his play on the football field. 

Canes didn’t start playing until game 4. What a disgrace.

And we went 5-12 last year while being nowhere near the playoffs 

You think going 8-9 while being in the playoff hunt until Week 17 or 18 and ending up just missing out wouldn't be considered growth this year?

You're acting like I'm saying we should be playing for the #1 pick and try to lose every game for it.  It's not even like I'm saying I want us going into Week 18 needing a win to make the playoffs and a loss keeps us out and thus I'm rooting against us that game.

I'm solely saying that I think making the playoffs only to lose in the first round would in the end, be less beneficial for us than if we were to just miss the playoffs, pick 5-7 spots earlier in the draft, and get the easier schedule that goes along with it.

A Panthers team that makes the playoffs but still loses round 1 probably has a better version of Bryce Young than a Panthers team that barely misses the playoffs. If we’re doing hypothetical, give me a higher %chance of Bryce being the real than better draft picks. 

I hope so. Morgan definitely showed unspoken faith in Wallace by not drafting a LB. 

Glad he didn’t fall to us with the chance of us drafting him. Funny how so many people thought drafting an undersized DT at #8 with poor athletic traits and short arms was going to move the needle for us.. Especially considering we signed Wharton and Brown over the offseason..Robinson and Brown still on the roster as well. 

Cool seeing Dan Morgan on a mainstream show like Pat Mcafee. Good publicity for the Panthers.
