Legette is horrendous

One of the highest drop percentages? 

Yes, among qualified WRs.  Going into the game he was 14th among WRs with 100 snaps.  2 or 3 drops today, whatever the PFF officially marks him for, will likely push him into the top 10 if not top 5.  And the WRs ahead of him are mostly scrubs.

Is it?  He had one of the highest drop %s in the NFL coming into this game and had 3 drops this game.  Even if we don't blame him for the first one (and I would agree we shouldn't fault him for that), that is still 1 too many drops for a 1st round WR.

I'm not saying he won't ever get better, although I doubt it.  But right now?  In this very moment?  He is a bad WR.  

OK, 17th. I guess you could say that's high. He needs work on the jugs for sure.

Imagine playing one of the best teams in the league with the best defense on the road and having the game winning touchdown dropped and blaming the qb 

Some people just dont have the capacity to admit when they’re wrong and would rather drag it out as long as possible.

I mean you can't compare him to RBs.  Among WRs he's 11th on that list and guys like Nabers and Lamb get way more targets than Legette, so it makes sense they would rank high in drops.  Drop % is a better number to look at for that reason.

I don’t know how drops are officially categorized but I counted 5 today. 4 if you want to say that first drive should not have counted cause he got hit hard, even tho it hit him in both hands. 
 

that just isn’t sustainable to move forward with as your #1

We actually had two drives to score the potentially game winning touchdown and we squandered both.

Some people want to find scapegoats. I'm just encouraged our head coach had us in position to even possibly win this one more than once on the road against the Eagles. That gives me hope going forward. Now we just need to add more pieces.

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
