Legette is horrendous

Sick and tired of all of these excuses. Dude was a 1st round pick. He’s an NFL player. Catch the damn ball

He’s not playing well for sure but not every rookie comes into the NFL guns blazing. Bryce was the first overall pick and looked like he was prepping for a job selling car insurance before hitting the bench and turning his career around. These players need time to get up to NFL level before we crucify them.

AT is a stud what are you talking about 

I don't think he's knocking AT. But he is on the backend of his career at this point. We've drafted two receivers in the 2nd round since 2021 (TMJ and Mingo) and one in the first (XL). None of those guys seem to have the ability (at least so far) to live up to their draft slot or even beat out AT for playing time if a GM had to make a roster decsion between them and AT. A 34 yr old possession receiver should not be the clear-cut best receiver on your team if it has been constructed right.

After this game I'd be all in on drafting Tetairoa McMillian if he's on the board when we pick and use the rest of the picks on filling our defensive holes.

Another year, another huddle draft I would take over ours.   

 

 

Plenty wanted the likes of Ladd, Frazier, Sainristil, DeJean, etc.  Heck, Jerzhain Newton surprisingly fell who would have been solid on the DL.  It's too bad we're already chatting about this stuff but it's hard not to see some pretty alarming concerns with XL that were evident and advertised.

The issue is we aren't talking about route-running or things that do take time to develop at the NFL level.  If he simply couldn't separate, I would understand that is something that comes with time.  But we're talking about his hands.  

He's gonna be 24 years old next year.  He was in college for 5 years.  There is a very legit possibility that improving his hands just isn't something in his future.  He's a body-catcher.

Lol what kind of post is this?
 

Nobody is "scapegoating" him.  He literally dropped a game-winning touchdown.  

The team scored 16 total points and Legette has sucked like this all year. I didn't watch the game but while you want them to make plays, 16 ain't good enough if you don't want things to come down to the wire.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
