Will Legette be “red shirted” this year?

One thing is for sure, we all seem to agree Legette isn’t ready to make an impact and probably needs more time to develop. I’m not calling him a bust, yes I would have preferred the Panthers select a different WR because there were many that were obviously more pro ready than Legette, but I’m not going to call the guy a bust before he’s even taken a regular season snap yet. But he probably needs at least half a season to get acclimated. If Mingo struggles to make an impact once the games start to matter, I hope Legette is ready.

Legette has been having a slow start to his rookie year. He’s probably 4th or 5th on the depth chart at this point and didn’t really make an impact in the preseason or training camp. 

I have a feeling the Panthers might try to open up a roster spot for a special teams player like ISM or David Moore by stashing Legette on IR with a mysterious practice injury to start his rookie year while he has more time to adjust to the pro game. Legette had limited play time in college and probably isn’t quite ready to compete at the pro level.

They passed on more pro ready WRs to pick Legette so they have to eat this one until he’s ready. 

He was a 5th year Sr.  If he can't get pro ready this season then he isn't going to.

This is why you don't draft older raw prospects. If you're gonna draft a raw prospects, he better be young. When a guy is older and still raw it isn't enticing "upside", it's a massive red flag of why this guy isn't more polished with his age and experience playing high major college football.

DJ Johnson about to have 15 sacks this year and make you look silly.  Laser eyes.

He’s nit gonna be a superstar in year 1.  

Tank Dell was basically a superstar last year and he was a 3rd round pick. With our WR drafting record aside from Steve Smith and DJ Moore I'm not getting my hopes up. Especially for a guy that will be 28 when playing on his 5th year option if he is decent. That second contract situation for a first round pick isn't ideal even if he turns out to be good

1st round pick should not be WR 4 on this miserable squad. I would expect more than that. There were 2 better prospects there for us when we took him. 

But I think they were willing to risk a bit of a raw first round pick (yes,  I know) in hopes they he develops into that generational talent. The kid has all the goods. Jerry Rice struggled big time his rookie year, keep that in mind.

It's the modern mindset unfortunately. If they aren't completely developed into Jerry Rice by first day of training camp or day 1 of regular season then they must be a bust.

Jerry Rice struggled mightily in his rookie year. Looked very raw. Watch the documentary on him. He was a jag his rookie year.

927 yards and 3 td's on 49 catches his first year rookie is a jag? That's like the numbers average of DJ Moores first 3 years with way less receptions lol.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
