Traded into the first for the guy.  You'd like to think he makes a year 1 impact like most modern WRs do.  Sucks we can't find one the plentiful ones who've worked out from the get-go but this was a guy many analysts and us saw from a ways away he didn't have the short area burst or refined rr skills to come in at an outside capacity as an X.  There-in lies his upside, but out of the gate, he's easing in and it should be the expectation he's not doing a ton year 1.  

Look at recent years, Flowers, Puka, Dell, Jayden Reed, JSN, Watson, Doubs, Rice, heck guys like Douglas and Wicks.  If we drafted Polk or Ladd it would be a different story, but we also wouldn't have the big play big man ceiling that we have in him.

I would wait until the regular season is played out some before passing final judgement on XL. And no, I certainly wouldn't redshirt him with a phone injury. He needs game reps to develop further and show what he is capable of doing.

You mean we shouldn’t judge him based off of only getting looks with an undrafted rookie QB?

Hasn’t he been hurt? He was DTD for a while and finally started getting some reps in practice this week I thought? He had a bruised bone in his foot from like early August. Give him a minute to get adjusted and I think he will be fine. I like having him and Sanders as deep threat weapons.

I agree that the pick was pretty questionable. Panthers had a need for a polished WR prospect and there were many other options, but choose the rawest prospect on the board. Panthers gonna Panther 

It sounds like when we drafted Ickey and it was more polished tackles in that group. On another note I think XL will be fine it's just possible the opportunities will be far and between this year. It's just gonna come down to staff finding ways to get him involved and bryce being able to establish a connection with him.

Crazy concept I know but somehow im going to wait until we see him in the starting offense to judge and even then see how he progresses during this season.

Dude literally got 1 total target all preseason by a horrible QB.  

our offensive rookies essentially got zero work this preseason.   Sanders is the superstar of the bunch and got a grand total of 3 targets.  That’s light opportunity for our offensive rookies. 

Injuries obviously part of the math but dang…really disappointing from a fan perspective.  Brooks on the shelf obviously.  Normally that’s the funnest part

Let's see how he does this season with 17 real games under his belt.  There's probably stuff schemed up for him that they are saving for the regular season.  I know that sounds like a meme, but I think it might be true this time.

I'm not worried about him being ice cold and having the dropsies with basically 0 work in preseason.

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 when you break it down and analyze it yea the team was miserable last season but there’s different pieces in place. Obviously he’s behind DJ and AT based off football experience IQ etc. Mingo a high second round pick worked his tail off in the offseason, even work with the great Steve Smith to become a better player id expect a player picked 7 picks later in the draft to be comparable to him now he’s got a year experience he’ll easily be a step ahead of XL. So that’d would put him 4th because the other players are simply a little better. Even if we picked AD he’d prob be a 4th option based off our team dynamics to start the season.

Agreed. We had no decent sample size to judge many by as far as receivers go with how the QB play was the first two games.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
