Credit where credit is due, he had a great game.

But I still don't trust him purely from a mental side of things, he has the worst football IQ I can remember seeing from a player of ours in recent memory.

Personally, if I'm Morgan, I'm calling up WR needy teams after this game and trying to trade him, just like we should have done last year with Bryce when he had some trade value still.

Ah yes the old trade your year 2 project player after a breakout game for a 4th round pick. Love it

Panthers fans hate him but I love him

Maybe seeing Coker out there made him realize how close a demotion really was

Legette was a difference maker today. if that gives him a boost of confidence that makes him more productive going forward, is anyone going to complain? I won't.

That last throw?? It was an air ball Dalton floated up for a 30 yard pass that XL had to literally stop his wide open route and jump and catch while the CB caught up with him. Dalton isn’t the QB people think he is at this point in his career. Remember last year when he had to play several games for us? It wasn’t good…

If that's what you analyzed that quickly WTH have you been watching from bryce the last couple weeks?? He either overthrows, underthrows that pass, or slings it out of bounds altogether and the jets get the ball back. Thats the difference, he just doesn't make the plays when they are there.

Pulling for him glad to see him working it on things.  He has some talent and can be a hand full just needs to keep working.

Yeah I’m not saying Bryce is better. Just Dalton isn’t better at this point in his career.

In fairness, it was into a wind that was gusting 15-20 mph. I didn't like the call or the throw, but it worked.

I‘m sure there were factors making it look worse, but that was 100% XL on that catch. It’s good to see him have a good game.

Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is. 

It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.

No doubt. 

I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

Let me add, that that's exactly what he had a good game, not a "great" game. People are throwing around the word "great" like athletes throw down Gatorade on the sidelines every weekend.

This is what happens when passes thrown in his direction are actually on target.  Everyone is ignoring that Bryce was throwing ducks to him all season.  They're finally starting to rediscover their chemistry.

I don’t think we were watching the same game. Dalton’s passes weren’t on target either. Especially the 30 yard one that gave XL one third of his yards. The one he had to stop and come back for. XL just got more targets because Sauce was on TMac.
