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

A WR with bad hands does not have "upside for days."

We're talking about a guy who had 423 receiving yards in his first 4 years of college.  I had more faith in guys like Funchess and LaFell than I do Legette.

For all the LaFail years we experienced here, he actually had a surprisingly long and productive NFL career.

This is just bad in so many ways for Legette

While being tied for 3rd on the team in targets. WHILE missing games.

The one thing the XL stans better not say is that we "didn't give him a chance." That dude is getting more targets through 20 career games(104 targets, 5.2/GM) than Mingo(4.7/GM in 24 games) and TMJ(3.1/GM in 36 games) ever did. All this while barely out producing them.

Everyone else has a similar target to catch ratio. He's in a class of his own. 

Horn has out produced his yardage with 1/4 the targets 😆

Y'all so weird "1st round" pick, we had 33, and moved to 32 to get the 5th year option.

He's a 2nd round pick, that they made a smart move at basically no cost to secure contract cintrol.

He was roughly the 6th or 7th guy taken...thats why he was still there...the team knew they were drafting his overall potential and it would take some time. 

AT THE TIME, we had Dj, and Thielen to insulate his development. McConkey played slot we had Thielen...which is who a lot of you wanted.

Dude put up 4 TDs (more than Mingo and TMJ combined if memory serves) and just under 500 yds, raw as a rookie...thrust into a role he was not supposed to fill.

He's also missed time this season, and had a game vs ARI where the bulk of his targets were dirt balls, and overthrows.

The expectations y'all have are wild...

So XL shouldn't have expectations but McConkey didn't seem to struggle with that. How is TMac doing versus expectations? How about Ricky Pearsall? Keon Coleman? Xavier Worthy? 

How about there are 15 rookies from the 2025 draft that have out produced XL in 2025? How do you explain a year under his belt getting less production that 15 fuging rookie WR's. 

But, no....tell us about how we just need to be patient. Because that really worked out well for Mingo and TMJ, after all.

Im not out to hate Leggette. I want to defend him. I want him to catch on. I cant ignore reality.

If he starts playing well I wont hold on to my current perception. It just is what it is. Currently hes a waste of a route in the passing game.

Hence why I say he should be behind Coker, Stephens, Horn, etc. He is basically our 5th best WR at this point.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
