Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

Tidjane Salaun was a worse pick

The one thing you can say about him is that he genuinely does have like 4-5 years before he is a bust. XL was 24. The NFL window is SOOOOOOO small. If he clicked on all cyclinders from day one, he might be around and still productive at 32. Might.

XL has the same amount of TDS as AJ Brown this season. 

AJ Brown is a proven commodity. That's the difference.

TMac is getting near eclipsing XL's entire career production less than halfway through his rookie season. 

That's a prime example of why people bitch about XL.

Yeah nobody even close to 24 in the NBA draft.  Certainly not near the top.  It's a completely different type of draft.  It's all 18 and 19 year olds and they just draft on tools and hopes and dreams.

I seem to recall (hazily) that the Bryce camp was lobbying hard for XL.  Does anyone else remember that or is that just a fever dream?

It was discussed. I am one who believes Tepper laid down conditions and wanted immediate help for his draft baby. They had Theilen in place so do t take his position that is his stuff like that can happen. 
He is not loafing and has contributed with blocking and had a TD to help vs Miami. I don’t think he will be a complete bust.

 Under perform his draft position? Yeah he can join the club

Bold statement after he tries to toss the game away to Dallas while getting wrapped up. 

you can’t fix “this guy has no idea how to play football.”

he’s a quirkier Ian thomas. 

He did that lol yes he did. Bet he does not do it again. 
Rico said he called him to throw him get him the ball in case you didn’t hear. Fwiw.

This place wants to get rid of every single player that doesn't have a banner rookie year and XL is no different.  I'm not saying XL is the answer, but I am saying that no one should turn on any player this early in their NFL career unless they have work ethic and/or locker room issues and XL has neither of these.  The guy is barley in his 2nd year in the league.  This place said Derrick Brown was a bust.

I think the worst case deal, is to turn him into a TE in a off-season.  He's only like 25 LBs away, roids would do it. Maybe give him the confidence he needs too.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      By Basbear · Posted

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
