The problem with that is he played 5 years in college.  If he played 5 years in college and you have no idea who the real Legette is... theres no way you take that at 33

Well, if they do take him at 33, obviously they do believe that they know who he is. The fact is, there are reasons why he didn't break out before year five. We may not know all of them or all of the specifics, but it's disingenuous not to acknowledge them, and it seems that many Huddlers want to use their lack of acknowledgement to drive a decidedly contrived narrative against him. But, that aside, once you interview him and acknowledge the reasons for his fifth year breakout, and then work him out within the plans and visions that you have for him within your system, then you have a decision to make regarding his value. I am fairly sure that we've done all of that, so I'm not going to scream "bloody murder" if we pick him at 33.

Ive said before.   I see a world where he turns in to a slightly limited Metcalf.  I see a lot more chances he ends up being a little faster Shenault.  Regardless, if we draft him I want him to be great and will cheer for him just like any player we could have drafted.   Im just saying im not sold on him and he definitely isnt one of my favorite receivers pre draft.

Imagine being born today and this is the first time you’ve heard a player say “x team said if I’m there at pick y they’re taking me” only for it not to happen on draft day. It’s almost like it makes no sense for a team to definitively say that without knowing how the board will fall, or like these players might have agents who tell them to leak things like this to increase the public perception that he’s a first round talent.

Steve Smith already said that Legette is past where Metcalf was when he was drafted, so why limit him at this point? Shenault's biggest issue in my opinion is that he was never a good ball tracker. That's why he never took hold in the league as a starter. Legette is an excellent ball tracker, so I can't see it. 

It's nice to know that you will cheer for him. I wouldn't expect anything less.

I can confidently say that is not the current plan.

Agree, I don’t think Dan Morgan would tell a player that. He may have said something that was misunderstood.

I remember Steve Smith was very high on Shi Smith as well.

No he was not. You guys keep saying Smitty is high on these guys just because he gives you the positives or food for thought. Smith was "very high" on a day 3 receiver? Come on, man. Smitty acknowledges the positives and negatives, and offers a scenario where receivers might be successful. That's pretty much it. 

In this class, he's high on the top 3. I'd say he's very high on Nabers and Harrison. Outside of the top 3, questions abound, but he can envision a scenario where many of them can work.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      then we're stuck.  tbh, at this point i would settle for just making it interesting. forget winning a superbowl for now. just get a team that can win games consistently and hope that it's enough to get to the big dance.  we want superman. we aren't getting superman. we had him and we blew our chance with him.  find a way make it work and hope that we can with this little guy and quit wishing our lives away for the second coming of superman. it just ain't happening.

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.
