The problem is he simply cannot be relied on at all. A football approaching Xavier Legette's hands has as much a chance of going well for the Panthers as a Bryce Young downfield throw to a WR in 2023 (none).

Not an unfair assessment but still, this was far from the easiest ball to not bring in.

Yeah when a guy's reaching out like that, it's not in the bread basket so it's not super easy. But a first-round pick worth a damn hauls it in and keeps it. Legette didn't let it fall out of his grasp, which, pathetically, is progress -- but he didn't finish the play.

He is a number 3 but it was clear he needed time when he was drafted.  He was\is very raw

Problem is, he gets worse every week. I think the time he needs is to be on the damn bench collecting dust (maybe it'll fall off him too). Or, put him at returner. He's worthless out wide.

Yeah he didn't get a hand under it. It was the right call. Legette needs to be on the JUGS matching 4 hours a day. 

8 hours a day for a forty hour week x 6. Earn the spot.

This. Chuba used to drop everything thrown his way. He was able to work things out. XL will too. He’s a rookie with only one full season starting in college football under his belt. He will get it together. Sucks but at least we know we have a good QB, we just need to surround him with talent. 

Either you can catch or you can't. That's his one job ( besides getting open ). 

He can't do what he was drafted to do

At some point we've got to stop drafting for measurables and just take a solid fundamentally sound football player (aka Ladd McConkey). This is Terrace Marshall all over again. Stop drafting WR's for "potential" and just take one that can get open regularly and catch the ball. It says a lot when an UDFA is more reliable than a #1 pick.

Heard this before from him, it’s time to step up young man. He’s gearing up to be our Tee Higgins and we’re going to need a hot dam Jamar Chase a legit number one WR. It’s time to give Bryce the tools to ascend to the upper echelon. Remember what took Josh Allen to the elite tier it was Stefon Diggs in his prime. It’s that time for Bryce fellas.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
