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

No problem.  I addressed that in my 2 things I was wrong about and 1 I was right about post. 

XL at this point just needs to be deemed Laviska Shenault.  A bad WR who has great athletic traits.  Scheme him up a quirky play but he can't play WR at this level right now.   We need Tmac and Coker on the outside.  Renfrow in the slot.  Maybe work XL into some slot relief for Renfrow w/ a schemed up play and some run blocking.   

I was wrong on XL.  Given I didn't see this preseason I have him more benefit of the doubt than most.  But I'm not going to be some Bryce Young apologist for XL that denies reality.  

XL stinks as a WR.  We bet on raw talent and lost that bet.  Is what it is.

I dont blame you, I blame the front office that keeps thinking guys with 5+ years of college are "raw"

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
