Forget bubble, they need to be asking if he's gonna replace XL in the starting lineup.

I think XL gets the nod to "save face."

Not sure that the season is going to be able to hide the fact that Coker appears far more prepared for the NFL currently than XL.

This is why you stay away from drafting 1-year wonders in the first round.

Thats what I'm saying. Why TF would Coker be on the bubble when he's outplayed XL in every way possible? I wouldn't even bat an eye if Coker stole the majority of XL's reps.

That's what I expect too but if XL doesn't impress I hope they have a quick trigger finger on making the change.

Even without this TC/offseason, Coker proved that last year too. 

He is simply the far better prepared NFL player. 

I get the ceiling difference, I think we all do. But if you can't reach that ceiling, what was it worth?

That's why I didn't want him. He basically did nothing in college until a super senior year that wouldn't have even happened had it not been for NCAA COVID year policy.

Can you name his quarterbacks before Rattler arrived?

The trade up into the 1st still infuriates me. Height of fuging hubris.

This XL slander is out of bounds. He has more upside than any receiver on this roster.

Oh give me a break. Plenty of first round NFL WRs played with trash QBs. Look at T-Mac. I'm sure Coker had a John Elway throwing to him at fuging Holy Cross. LOL

[therealmjl]

One preseason game that he didn’t even play in and the usual suspects are already ready to move on from XL.

 

That’s enough huddle for me today.
