So, I don't like the Deebo comparisons after watching that.  XL is not great at or behind the line of scrimmage.  Far more failures than successes with those type plays.

Maybe he is DK Metcalf.  I hope so.

He can be used in Deebo ways but he's not the twitchiness of Deebo at all just quite fast. He's much smaller than DK too so that's a bad comparison. I'm worried he's going to be this tweener-ish dude in the NFL if he can't get very, very good at something. But he's raw and has a proven work ethic so I'm stoked for him.

the play at :26 is legit poo

Welcome to SC's offense this past year!  I had to stop watching it to keep my sanity at points

His lack of mileage on his legs is pretty awesome for us & zero fumbles in college. Eye popping 6+ YPC but that's got to be a product of his very good O-Line & football team. It's got a ton of upside.

The Ravens always value off ball linebackers early, seemingly they take one in the top 2 or so rounds every year. They are always regarded as one of the best drafting teams. I wouldn't worry too much. 

We are not the Ravens 

Purely speaking positional impact drafting RB and LB early in the draft has me nervous

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DRAFTED A GAMECOCK I HOPE HE BALLS OUT FOR US

Gimme all the Gamecocks you got

Lol what a pull after going dark and being pretty off and on last year (a lot of it out of John's hands)

That Panther 7 gonna look good next to my Gamecock 7 in the closet!!!!

Just eat it for this season? Who cares as we aren't contending and he's actually a consistent presence on the line. We made all of these fun moves this offseason despite him taking $30M on the cap so no sweat. 

One of my favorite Gamecocks ever is playing on my favorite NFL team.... lemme go bust out the 7 jersey.... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS may just have to buy this one too

So far I think the roster moves on offense thus far would help almost any young QB.  That being said if BY doesn't show something this year I'm pretty sure (or at least extremely hopeful) we are looking for a QB next April

Pretty much where I'm at with it

I like what Dan has done so far and these quotes match everything we've seen so far. Optimism! 

Yeah it's Spencer Rattler for me but I'm biased

He's a bonehead even by bonehead standards and not that good. I know we're desperate but I'd rather not and let him be someone else's problem. 

Never heard of him, word.

Instant Jersey purchase for me especially if its the #7 ... please sign here

Am I the only one that can't believe JJ McCarthy is being sold as a high end QB prospect?  I watched a fair amount of his Michigan games, and I did not see a pro QB.

I don't get it either, his legs are intriguing though. Honestly reminds me of Kapernick in some ways where he can be a dynamic runner but limited passer.

This guy is not a good NFL player, so hopefully a depth piece

It will be a bit of a homecoming for him and he'll never live up to his hype and that's fine. He's still really good in the run game and can tilt the field and hold the edge unlike Burns, PLEASE GAWD.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WILL IMMEDIATELY BUY HIS JERSEY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

That... makes sense? Nice. 

Gamecock! Sign him!
