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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
