Coach asked about Coker!!

Whether a surprise cut or retirement, Thielen will not be on this roster this time next season. I doubt Moore is much value to keep around long-term and there's a big question mark if Renfrow can even stay healthy. Right there, that's three spots that will be vacated in the foreseeable future. I want both Coker and XL to do well because then if TMac lives up to his potential, the answer to those holes are already on the roster. In my eyes, a TMac/XL/Coker corps is the real goal here. Exactly who is the best among those three we can debate ad nauseum as long as they all produce enough for this offense to work.

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. 

It was a stupid question, for sure.  TMac/Coker/AT/Renfrow/XL--probably in that order.

XL's first four years in college before his break out 5th year season.

I would have taken him in the second round,, but trading into the first to take him looks to be a dumb move at this point. 

Nearly 500 of his 1200 yards in his final year came versus Vanderbilt, Furman and Jacksonville State.  Breaking it down even further, in those games he had one or more splash plays for HUGE yardage.  Point being, he's flash over substance and in the NFL he's not running away from DBs regularly for these massive break away plays.

If I am not mistaken, Ladd McK was available, and that is who I wanted.  Now, had we done that, Coker would be the #2 behind TMac right now and we'd have AT/Renfrow/Ladd at the same spot, but it might be better considering bryce is the QB.  Not giving up on XL, but yes, those one hit wonders are not worth first round picks.   That pick, followed by an injured RB (Brooks) was very desperate or too cute.  Morgan seems to have settled down.

Problem with that draft is we were sort of fast tracked to move on from BY IMO and XL was the closest things to a traditional Canales WR.  I only wanted XL under that context.  He and BY didn’t pair up.  Ladd was the ideal BY WR IMO.  Then BY did what no one expected.  Including Carolina IMO

XL is not polished enough for how BY plays.  But you could use him in an aggressive downfield chuck it up scheme

Most of us wanted McConkey.  Turns out most of us were right (again).  He was still available and we could have drafted him right in front of the Chargers at #33 had Dan not panicked.

XL was always fools gold. Give me hands and hunger over upside and overdraft every day at WR. The trade just made it comical in my eyes.

Whatever, Coker saved them last year and they need to lean on him again this year. XL has shown jackall to earn a starting spot at this point. Hell, maybe it would light a fire under his butt to improve if, when really, Coker takes his reps and jumps him on the depth chart this year.

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

I can't say that with T-Mac on the roster. Tetairoa has unicorn upside in my opinion. 

I do agree about XL. People are jumping the gun to a fault (and faults lead to a DQ).

TMac/XL/Coker is definitely the goal IMO. Right now, the biggest question mark on that equation seems like XL.

Oh good grief. Stop it. I get it if you're a Gamecocks fan but notice how you're on an island here? There are undoubtedly plenty of Gamecocks fans here but they ain't walking the plank with you on this one.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
