Awesome! He dealt with these issues at SC too so if we just wait it out until the 2028 season, we are good to go!

Maybe Glorilla cut him loose and that is affecting his game just like Bryce and his girl last year.

I came to this thread expecting news that Andy was starting this weekend

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

XL is dealing with the "Mental side".  We are good.

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.

Some of these guys need to fail hard to overcome their issues elsewhere. Being put on a pedestal by a bottom dweller has not helped.

Effort isnt mental though and hes also shown no effort.

Mental problems and lack of effort two games into sophomore season.. Great

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.

Wow, he seems really lost. He should consider seeing a sports psychologist to help him work through this or he will be out of the league before you can say possum stew.

Bryce's daddy might be able to help him. On second thought...

Man, am I tired of Charlotte being the place these guys go before they work out their issues.
