Sorry, dude, but that's just stupid. Just because a person talks with a southern drawl doesn't mean they aren't intelligent. I'd also add that standard English isn't a barometer of a person's cognitive ability. Actually, being able to adapt to different settings speaks toward a certain amount and/or aspect of intelligence. I bristle when someone begins to go down the road that you're suggesting.

it's not just the southern drawl, though. he just sounds like he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed overall and I think we are all seeing that play out on the field.

Not concerned about Legette being country. It's that I don't see any hunger out of him. He's been giving a golden opportunity to make a name for himself here and favorable press despite not producing. After last year's perfomance and the team bringing in a rookie over him I'd hope he come out with something to prove and I'm not seeing it. He seems more passionate about ranching and frankly he's not talented enough to treat the NFL like it's just a dayjob.

I would tell XL to line up wide. Like really wide...until he's on the sideline.

Literally this. Invest in some other options on the depth chart with reps. He clearly is not interested in performing.

You are going to get poo'd for mentioning tmac but im going to agree to an extent.  He definitely had flashes and looked promising, but he has got to get more crisp and urgent on his routes.  It is also a little worrisome how he seems to want to 1 hand catches when he doesnt need to.  The td attempt was in a location he could have used 2 hands to grab it but instead just used one.  All that said, it was the best looking game 1 rookie wr Ive ever seen on the panthers and he may end up being a really good player. 

One problem I've had with T-Mac since we chose him is that he has this "cooler than you" vibe. And it's something he works at creating. And that might be part of those one-hand grab attempts. Always trying for the catch that ends up on the poster, yanno? And that leads to, well, drops. In the end zone. Be a professional, catch the ball, make the touchdown.
