Please add thoughts about the best player in the draft.  Jesus...it is like this guy was perfect in the best league in college football.  He went to the natty and won it from behind.  Damn,  if he is Peyton Manning or better he is worth all picks for us?  His film is ridiculous.

But is it the player or the system?? He wasn't that player the year before..

I mean, you can honestly make a very compelling argument that he had the best single year in college football ever.

Everyone wants to put it all on the system, but then...

That's what impresses me about Burrow. He keeps his head about him and while he may not have Brett Favre's arm, the guy seems to be able to deliver the ball the same no matter what whether he's set in the pocket and able to step up or running for his life throwing back across his body like you're not supposed to ever do. I mean, that's a 40 yard throw across his body while on the run. I don't want to hear that this guy doesn't have an arm.

OL actually did a good job.  There was really one guy pressuring him but looks like two then he threw in almost triple coverage.  Safety was completely lost and another CB never turned his head around.

Did it work or not? The difference between an elite franchise QB and a JAG is the ability to make the plays you're not supposed to be able to make. You don't coach guys to make the types of plays that Cam made in his prime, that Aaron Rodgers makes, that Patrick Mahomes makes. You either can or you can't.

If this QB is Peyton Manning he is worth our draft.  Just don't want him to die in Cincy.

He had a very solid team around him which helped him and his success.  Will be different story in Cincy.  That OL blows.

I'm not convinced he goes to Cincy. I think they might Eli their way outta there. That organization has zero desire to field a winning team and they'd just drafting them to ride his hype for a little while.

I added my previous comment.  I have seen other college QBs make amazing plays in college just took come to NFL and fall flat.  I’m not saying he will be bad QB in NFL, I just don’t think he will be Manning like.

Peyton manning was Peyton manning  all thur college not just 1 season...

How can we blame the player for being a one year guy when he was only in that system one year? The previous offense that LSU was running would've had John "a punt is not a bad play" Fox begging for a little more offensive aggression.

If the over/under is Peyton Manning, yeah I'll take the under.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
