He just needs to not be injured during off season workouts. 

That's a fair point.

What I don't like is he really performs worse the more he's out there, and he's as unreliable with the ball approaching him as Olindo Mare was on a field goal. Dan Morgan really batted .000 in his first draft.

Legette gets worse every game he plays. If he's out there Week 18, maybe he can set a franchise record for drops in a game.

Never take a guy in the first round that's a body catcher as a WR.  I'd take a slower and shorter WR that's got super glue for hands over a tall and fast guy with hands of stone.  That said, I wanted McConkey.

I was fine with going after the local guy. Huge-ass mistake on my part to ever be alright with a Panthers draft pick. I've learned my lesson, though -- we're 5 1/2 months from making another pick, and he already sucks.

Legette wasn't a body catcher in college. I personally think he's still having a tough time with that wrist injury and gutting through it.

I would prefer they keep looking in the drat until they hit on one. Don't matter want round just as long as he has great hands and is fast. 

Indeed. More Coker's and less TMJ/Mingo/XL's please. Get ACTUALLY fundamentally sound WR's. If it ends up being a Nabers/Jefferson type, even better. But the beginning and end of the WR discussion should be about how fundamentally sound of a WR you are.

Way too early for that kind of talk

Man you’re funny but in all seriousness one thing we’re not taking into consideration is he seems to have hit his rookie wall. Because he’s definitely decreasing in production. We’re at week 15 that’s a lot of football for rookies some handle it better then others XL right now might need to regroup it appears he mentally fatigued hopefully he can get it together

Actually he was a body catcher and the reason I wasn't as high on him as some.  If he somehow feel to us in the 2nd round, I would have been fine with him.  I did not have a first round grade on him due to body catching and route running being insufficient.

On the plus side his route running has improved and he's getting open. 

But his catching still rates as atrocious

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
