Legette is on the chopping block. This wouldn't be the case if Coker hadn't emerged. Legette is looking more and more like a bust, at least for this team. Fun locker room presence but we need defense and he's at the height of his value. If he don't do something the first few games of the season, he needs to be out at the trade deadline so we can get defensive help in here.

XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.  

XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract. 

XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop? 

also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
