Let me add, that that's exactly what he had a good game, not a "great" game. People are throwing around the word "great" like athletes throw down Gatorade on the sidelines every weekend.

Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is. It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.

Piñiero with another 50+ yard field goal. What in the world? Five for the year.

Clowney out there ballin'.

Damn, you won't give up the dream of Howell, but I could get with that as long as it's not higher than a 6th.

I could never see myself campaigning for INT Jameis. Nahhhhh.

He had a good game. Hopefully it is the start of a trend.

Exaggeration not to be taken literally

The Jets do have a legit defense.

Never aggressive at all...only when we have to be. Canales?

Sh¡t man, we screwed up on 3rd.

Just run the fuging ball! Damn!

I was thinking the exact same thing.

How is it possible that the Jets gave up nine sacks?

...Oh, now I get it. What you're saying is whether or not he'll be the starter in reference to next year. For a minute I was thinking that you were referencing the fifth year and beyond. You "scared" me for a minute. "Who is this guy?" "What's wrong with Jon Snow?" I can't even consider it going up for debate with what 9 has displayed. If we execute the option (which would tell me all I need to know about the current fúcked up iteration of the FO), then that might impede any immediate plan of pivoting.

I mean, from a general perspective, I think you're absolutely right, but there are lots of times that I can't help juxtaposing Bryce against D.J. Moore and all those picks. I know that I have to let it go, but I still care. As long as we've learned the lesson and don't double down, I guess I'll be good. Bryce has given us backup level results.

I have since dropped Legette, Sanders, and DB, but I'm still rolling. I had sense enough to draft Chuba's handcuff, but now my workhorse theory is in disarray. But, to keep it real, Canales has had it in disarray from the beginning. I don't know who to start, so I guess I'll go with "the hot hand." I'm at the top of the hill right now though. Dowdle has been a godsend. Bourne was simply a smart strategic pick-up. I traded for Rice weeks ago (for Dak), and his suspension is over, and Christian Watson should be coming off IR soon.

I'm starting him...but I'm in a 12-team league with two TE spots. The TE situation in fantasy is underwhelming. It's basically a wasteland.

I mean, a month ago I didn't want to admit it. Now people are getting their tighty-wighties in a wad because I dare say something decidedly negative about X (and/or Bryce). I am somewhat mystified. I want X to become a star. And I don't really give a fúck what they say, he's been disappointing. The difference between he and Ladd has been stark. If he could just be half of Ladd---hell, Laviska Shenault---it would be a great improvement. A glorified Mingo? Not so much.

If we're keeping it a buck, my original name is Top Dawg. I have been here since 2002 or 2003. Between this board getting hacked, and me forgetting and simply losing my password and the site not sending me a damned reset, I simply made an alternative account. @Zod himself, or any other person who has been on this board for 20+ years will tell you that I've been here a long time. Hell even some who may not have been here that long know I have pretty much been an institution on the board. I am an OG. As for "whining," you can characterize legitimate football discussion however you like, but suffice it to say, if I am "whining," it's due to years of sucking. I would suggest that you, or anyone else who's upset that I have become critical that Xavier Legette will never be worth what we paid for him just suck it up. I haven't even criticized him as much as I've become somewhat critical of him. The same goes for Bryce. If both or one can turn it around, especially when the stakes are at their highest and can be what we thought that we were getting, I will praise them. My like or dislike of a player on the football field doesn't have to be a static proposition. But, you better believe, that as a long term fan that has been with this team before 1995, I am going to criticize, or be critical of, any team member---player, coach, owner---good or bad, as I see fit. That's what the Carolina Huddle is here for.

And that's the kinda thing that bothers me. I realize that guys don't develop at the same rate, but damn. All the "He'll be just fine sentiment," is ringing kinda hollow at this point. He's an able blocker, I'll give him that, but I can't put my head in the sand anymore, Coker appears to be the better overall receiver.

With Garrett Wilson out, a victory is much more likely. Honestly we have zero excuses. 4-3 should be damned near a certainty. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-news-roundup-latest-league-updates-from-friday-oct-17

How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.

Damn, A-Rod still has an arm.

What does this have to do with Cam?
