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

The guy was extrapolating his best career game to a year of stats to say hes a 1400 yard guy. But we have real stats to look at. 

I missed that nugget. What was the context?

I ask because I can’t imagine anyone seriously thinks he is gonna get 92 yards each week. As the number two in a Bryce led run first offense? Lol no. Half that maybe. 

17 x 92 doesn’t add up anyway. You remember where in the timeline he said that?

He was just being willfully ignorant.

The context was that because of his good game that meant he will do that every week.

I hope he does but he has not thus far.

Damn y’all are gonna make me rewatch that now because I can’t believe anyone would seriously present that as a projection.

okay I didn’t hear it last night and I turned the captions on and scrolled through the video twice. With no luck seeing 1400 yards go by.

Hey, I'm lost, and I sure as hell don't feel like listening to a vid of conjecture and projection based on one game, but...Even if dude didn't come right out and say it, if he's saying that X can have those types of games more than not, he's basically saying it. Just curious as to why you have to hear it explicitly. 

My thing is is that a 1000 yards has been kind of the benchmark for receivers by fans and analysts for at least two decades now (though I could argue that we probably need to set a higher expectation). That being said, all a receiver has to do across 17 games is average approximately 59 receiving yards per game.  I don't think that's an insurmountable height to reach even for a WR2 in many offenses.  In one of these threads, someone was saying X has averaged 29. That's an unacceptable number. Bless him if he can average 92, because he'd be getting more than 1500 (going on 1600) per season. Why someone would think he'd be able to do that under Bryce and a team that needs to run, I don't know. Maybe I do need to listen to the vid.

Having Bryce as a QB is a hindrance to a reciever like XL.  Andy comes in and suddenly he's capable.

How many reasons do I need to suit you? I want to know (why I asked). Did I ask you to check it for me? I don’t think so. 
I guess bottom line is I didn’t hear it and I don’t want to call someone out in error, say he didn’t, so I wanted to check it. 

In the ‘classless’ thread just a little while ago a guy claimed that there were two pages of someone calling another guy a liar and being obtuse. I looked. It was THREE posts before he made that claim. 3. 
 

As far as XL being capable or… of that standard for that kind of production, technically if he did it once he can do it again… but I certainly don’t expect that and also did not infer that it was an expectation from what the dude was saying. Did you watch the video and get that? 

 

I know the 1000 yard deal, and that is a benchmark yes. If you were looking at this offense and this quarterback would you expect Legette to go 1000? I think a little under would be reasonable with so many targets going to the RBs and a run first mentality and all that. 

Couple/three games ago 10 guys caught balls. How many are there really going to be every week for  XL?

Suit me? It's a forum. No offense meant if that's the way to took it.

I said something like that last week and got post after post of stats telling me I didn’t see it. And was accused of being racist to boot. Because Dalton is white (I can’t make him black, sorry).

Thanks. It seemed like you objected to me asking. So I am sorry if you didn’t mean it that way.

I think he's an impediment to any receiver because he rarely hits a receiver in stride, but X would certainly benefit if he is hit in stride because it takes him a while to get going. He may be fast, but he's not quick, and he's not really twitchy either. 

I'm just glad that Bryce looked his way for a change. I don't think we'll have that problem with Dalton.
