XL is a bust

[Silent Majority]

I'll wait until he has a QB who doesn't put up 36.6 passer ratings.

Fair but everything in this thread is an opinion aside from that he is a bust.

That's a fact.

True. But ive also worked with people that ruin every bit of enjoyment at a job because they suck so bad at what they do.

XL is disappointing but when your qb is barely throwing for 200 yards what are you exactly expecting from him ? 
 

he seems like a guy that would benefit from a vet qb coaching him up a bit and letting him know when he’s fuging up on routes etc 

bust I disagree with, unlike our actually bust at qb, we’ve seen flashes from XL

Sophomore slump? He was terrible last year too.

I was hoping folks would forget that. I was hoping to forget it.

Just trying to polish the turds they gave me man. It's all I've got at the moment.

Strange that he is the only WR that fails so completely so often across his 1.5 seasons here, however.

He is just bad. No amount of wishing and hoping is gonna fix it.

Nothing we can do about it, man. Just another on a crazy pile of terrible WR's this franchise has drafted.

He hasn't looked good thats for damn sure, then he does things that make you wonder if he could be. He strikes me as the kind of guy that needs to enjoy the game to even have potential and I dont see how you can do that with Bryce as your quarterback.

I have seen maybe 2-3% of his snaps that show it. I don't think he will ever enjoy the game because it involves being passionate about football and getting better. None of that seems to be in his personality. 

He's just a guy that had a great college season and accidentally ended up here.

I'm gonna be honest here. All I see is a bunch of receivers who can't get open on most plays. Bryce or not, if you can't get open once in a while, this is what's going to happen.

But yeah, XL ain't going to outsmart a DB, he ain't gonna outrun one and he sure doesn't seem like he wants to outwork them either. So, hard to not call him a bust at this point.

Tet, though... has his moments of ooo look at that. And has a lot of plays where he just disappears. He's not bad, maybe even good, but I'm sure hoping there's a lot of development still to come. Was hoping for a game breaker, not a possession receiver.

He is more along the lines of a Fitzgerald/Hopkins/etc. Big, rangy guy that wins by running good routes and winning 50/50 balls. 

He needs to get his hands stronger and improve his concentration. A fairly significant chunk of his issues have been off target throws. That has plagued the entire receiving corps with Bryce. He's just so incredibly inaccurate as a passer and his timing is awful.

I think TMac will be fine. We just need him to keep working to reach his overall ceiling.
