When’s the last time we drafted a natural, effortless, hands catcher?

I mean, some of you are trying to act like Moore had perfect hands. Nah. Moreover, I dont believe Legette is a body catcher. He leaves a few on the field too, but he knows how to go up and get them also.

That's going to take some review, because he sure as heck was today. He jumped unnecessarily in that 2 point attempt last week too, and I'd have to watch again but I don't think he needed to jump and it was a body catch too. If it's over his head or whenever he has to reach for it, then no body catch. That's my general impression.

Seriously he’s a rookie and looks better as a rookie than DJ Moore did.  Stop with nonsense overreacting 

Peoples’ expectations… Smitty was a body catcher as well, just saying. Smitty had Prohel, X has Thielen. X seems very teachable. His routes today were pretty crisp. This was a BIG moment today for big country. Sometimes we can get in to our own head. 

It would be pretty cool for everyone to scream X!!! When dude makes a big play. Get his confidence going. 

Jury is out on Mingo. Last year was a complete disaster. I’m willing to see what he’s got this season. He seems to like trucking dudes.

I was super impressed with his route running, he looked like a veteran

It looked like he lost a catch letting it get into his body though. So it isn't nothing. And every criticism isn't putting him on Bryce level suck, but it's something he needs to work on.

He had his first TD, it wasn't all bad.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
