I’m sure Legs would be great if he had a QB who could push the ball down the field but defenses are just going to sell out to stop all the screens they’ll force feed him like they’ve been doing

What makes this easier to take is the fact we had back to back 5th round picks (141 & 142)  we gave up 141 and got pick 200.  we dropped 59 spots but still have a pick in every round.  to me it was a low risk solution to insure that we got our guy. 

as long as we have a pick for Braleon Allen or Estime

Anyone comparing Mingo and XL IMO hasn’t really watched a lot of the two.  They just aren’t comps.  XL doesn’t play like Mingo 

I've been saying that for weeks too. That was always lazy analysis bordering on nonsensical, but I've tried to give them the benefit of being knowledgeable and sincere.

If you've read my posts you should understand I take a pretty even keel approach and have been warming myself up to Legette.  Pick the hyperbolizing "you're freaking out" argument with someone else or get lost. 

Really shouldn't bother anyone if I don't like the pick.  I can be wrong and it's just football anyways, I don't mind admitting it.

I'm not forcing you to love the pick. You're entitled to your own opinion. His film stands out though. I wasn't high on the Mingo film. This kid has that extra gear. I think we will love him if we use him the right way. I think Bryce getting the ball out qucker should helps all of our WR's. We got a good mix of WR's now.

I still think there's a decent chance JPJ falls to our next pick. There's been a lot of lineman already taken and we know there will be a receiver run at the start of the second.

I hope so. We've spent a ridiculous amount of money and draft capital on our Oline and to have the biggest question mark right in the middle worries me a lot. We all saw what happened with Paradis.

That's fine and dandy.  Just don't peel into your "buddy, settle down" shtick when someone is well and settled.  

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I was down on the Mingo pick even when Smitty suggested him.

 

Legette film is much more impressive. He can take a bubble screen and break for 80. Mingo wasn't that kind of WR. He also didn't look as explosive as Legette.

That's exact the sort of player Bryce needs, and having that outlet with Gibbs at Alabama went a long way for him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
