He was open a lot, but that was Buffalo's second secondary.  He seemed a bit slow off the start--wonder how he would survive press coverage.  He has missed a lot of camp and we drafted him knowing that he was raw.  He still is.   This year, he has to serve as our #4 WR.  Next season?  We may need an X.  To me, I am aiming for 2025 and hope that he gets experience and confidence this season.

I don't disagree with your take but hate to spend a first-round choice on a player who might need 3 years to make meaningful contribution

I don't know about players needing to develop being a fantasy football thing as much as it is just a natural thing for people to have to improve at their craft. I can understand your frustration as well but we see guys get bigger, stronger, and faster in year two after getting to the pros all of the time.

XL's injuries and other struggles during college have been well documented. I believe that those definitely affected his growth in college, but I also don't subscribe to the idea that a 24yr old kid can't learn how to get better at what he does.

We do see guys get stronger and faster. Look at CMC. That said, CMC had almost 1100 total yards his rookie year even splitting time with Stewart. He got bigger and stronger and took off year 2. He was also only 21 his rookie year, 2.5 years younger. At Legette’s current age, CMC had 5400 total yards and 39 TDs.

I’m rooting for Legette, but he’s got to shine this year or he’s an absolute long shot to magically be a stud at 24/25. I use Davante Adams as a “slow” developer but age wise, Legette’s rookie year = Adams 3rd year when Adams had 997 yards and 12 TDs in 16 games.

I just wish we didn’t always seem to be drafting project/exception guys hoping they break the mold.

I don't think he will magically be a lot better in 3 years time.  If he wasn't a 5th year senior in college maybe, but he has played a whole lot of football.

He looks uncertain to me - that also can translate into looking slow.

 

I actually like the way XL runs vs Sanders as of right now.  

QB School's breakdown of BY I think brings Sanders back to down to reality.

I'm not expecting a significant impact by XL until year 3. His rookie season, like all rookie seasons, should be about development.

Very excited for what a full NFL offseason workout plan will do for him. He's already an athletic monster.

Year 3 when he's 26? This was not a good first round investment. 5th year option when he's 28 and judging by his size he'll be already slower by then. I just don't see it. 1st rounders should have the room for immediate impact and the time for a second contract

I gotta say, it is difficult to not express my true opinion of this year's use of our 1st, 1st round pick. The small investment to double down bothers me less, but if it were to bust that would for sure suck.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
