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.

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.

    • I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL. 
    • Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.
    • He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
