I'm staying in the XL fan club.  I think he's going to figure this thing out and become a beast.  

He is a heck of an athlete and I think he is probably a good person.  This is expected when you draft a raw, one-hit wonder in round 1.  Expectations....However, he has about 3-4 games to figure it out.

Maybe had he been drafted where he was supposed to, 2nd/3rd round by a team that didn't have immediate and critical needs at his position then it would have been different. I generally tend to not believe that but at least he could have developed where he needs to, buried on a depth chart and with no pressure to perform.

Effort isnt mental though and hes also shown no effort. 

I believe I have to disagree with this. Effort is 100% mental toughness. When the body is tired and hurting, and the emotions are down due to bad outcomes, it is the mind that tells them to gather those hidden resources and push through the next play. Same applies to the last set at the end of a brutal workout, the last hour of a long day on the job or any one of multiple other situations where you have to tell your body to push through and ignore the pain.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
