Didn't Moose drop a lot of passes early in his career? Legette needs to put in work in the offseason and not down on the farm.

 Bro what. Are you really bringing up Moose who played for the Panthers 20 years ago? For every Moose there are 15 Dwayne Jarrett’s, Terrance Marshall’s, Mingos, Kelvin. Benjamin’s etc who never develop. Moose is an outlier, not the norm 

It’s not a coincidence that the successful franchises are always the teams taking the Huddles favorite/prefered players. I feel like every year the Steelers, Eagles, Bills make our dream picks. Our GM’s and scouts overthink/ analyze everything instead of making the logical, smart picks that make the most sense
 

lol our past and current GM have no idea how to draft. Wasting a 2nd on a RB with a million other holes on the roster was always stupid. Add that he was coming off an ACL tear makes the decision indefensible. 

Re-signing Horn? Ok maybe. Still risky. Signing Higgins, another injury prone player in the same offseason? Hell no. Let’s just draft T-Mac with our 1st pick if he falls to us. If he doesn’t,Brandon  Graham or Will Johnson 

No way we stay at -1.5. We’ll be plus money in a day

All i know is all the thielen haters need to at least appreciate how many amazing catches he makes every game 

Theilen is great. But he’s more of an underneath slot WR who relies on route running savvy. He’s not going to be much longer with his age. I wouldn’t be opposed to through the bag at Tee Higgins 

2 years if young keeps playing like he is. It’ll take us a few years to build back that defense and get him a legit WR

Proving the haters wrong with a big 69 passer rating.

We need to raise the bar a little 

Who does he have to throw to? We literally saw our TE backpedaling for a catch like an 8th grade football player. Unreal.. XL obviously had some horrible drops (as always) we need to get him some legit weapons. 

Atleast I’m back to looking forward to Panthers games every week. This team is looking a lot better than all of the other 3 win teams. We have loads of holes, but I’m hoping an elite WR like Tetairoa McMillan falls to us to give BY his first legit WR. Sign FA’s and draft defense with the other picks

He’s either going to sink or swim after this performance. Looking forward to seeing how much he wants it. 

Drafting a RB in the 2nd round tells me you are not confident in your talent evaluation skills. So many diamond in the rough RB’s every draft  rounds 4-7. An example of one was Bucky Irving. A 4th round pick that tore us up last week. Dan Morgan also sounded unintelligent in the few Hard Knocks clips last offseason. Wish we would’ve hired a real GM with a good resume  

Laquon Treadwell 2.0

Sucks that we drafted Laquon Treadwell 2.0

Laquon Treadwell 2.0

Sanders and XL took 14 points off the board and what, at least 100 yards? 

Im still high on Sanders. XL I’m 50/50 on. Coker will be a legit #2, quickly.

I want XL to be mad at himself after today. You can tell Chuba was. I sincerely hope Thielen and Chuba work with this dude. 

Brooks to me is a write off. Sorry. If he ends up being anything, cool beans, but that is a colossal whiff.

Drafting a RB not in the 5th or 6th, but the 2nd round coming off an acl tear who was good in college, but no Ashton Jeanty caliber is extremely irresponsible, wreckless and low IQ. Dan Morgan can fug off.

As much as I want XL to be the X, he'd be a humongous Y in this offense.

Get a true X to triple with XL + Coker and that run game with JT as TE1 starts to look even more intimidating......

Doesn’t have the quickness, hands, or route running to be a Y

He’s a rookie. If he drops that in year 3 I’d fire him into the sun. 

Sick and tired of all of these excuses. Dude was a 1st round pick. He’s an NFL player. Catch the damn ball

Just now, KSpan said:

Is he this week'sscapegoat? Moving on from the refs I guess.

How is he the scapegoat? Did you not the game? Dude cost us the game

Funchess 2.0. Can we please stop being enamoured by physical traits and draft someone that can catch please??

I never remember Funchess dropping this many passes. Don’t disrespect Funchess like that. 
 

XL is a liability. Horrible pick. You could see everything that’s happening with him with his college tape. This pick makes me wonder if Morgan knows what he’s doing. Plus our 2nd round pick just hurt his knee again who we drafted coming of a torn ACL

That's a matter of opinion and that won't be determined for a couple years from now. If the guy turned out to be amazing in the next couple years would it be a bad pick then? Not saying he will but whether or not it was a bad pick is still up in the air. Initially it looks like it could be with other needs but if the guy turned out to be a world beater then I guess it wouldn't be. Easy to second guess what others do but if we were so damn great, we would be getting paid to make decisions like this for an NFL team already and not discussing it on a message board where everyone thinks they are an expert.

But is it a conflict of interests when you invest in a 2nd round RB but sign your starting RB to an expensive extension? That’s a luxury pick that shouldn’t have been made imo.

And all those things work well when you have a better QB. The reason you drafted Legette is because Bryce was giving a lot more 50/50 balls and Legette was better at winning those balls and YAC potential. 

Just different guys. 

Not sure with this obsession on the huddle that the grass is always greener. Strange take considering Legette isn't the reason why we lost. 

What 50/50 ball has Leggete won? I remember Leggete getting the ball taken from him in a 50/50 ball. He also dropped another ball that was dropped right in the bucket. Wasn’t  even a 50/50 ball. More like a 90/10. He might not be the reason why we lost but he is never the reason why we win. Hopefully he improves, but Ladd is light years better than him atm.

Ladd McConkey is on a better team with a better coach.

he’s supposed to look better.

He also runs better routes and catches the ball better. Literally does everything better.

Yes how dare Brooks not break the single game all time rushing record in his first game in the NFL and back from a serious knee injury. Dammit, cut him!

I understand it was one game, doesn’t change the fact it was a bad pick. 

Drafting a DT in the top 5 when we already have Derick Brown is not smart imo.  We need WR, DE, CB. T-MAC, Abdul Carter or Will Johnson 

No one is allowed to criticize XL unless you want serious clap back. He’s just one of those players that is immune to criticism on this board. But sorry that I don’t expect week in and week out drops, body catching, jumping for every ball when you don’t have to, horrible spatial awareness from a 1st round WR. He has so much to work on that it’s insane these issues didn’t drop him to atleast the 3rd round during the evaluation process. To make matters worse, the best RB today was a 4th round RB we could’ve waited later for and gotten someone like Cooper DeJean who filled a need in the 2nd who a lot of posters were pounding the table for including me.
