XL is a bust

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

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.

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.

Have you seen Bryce try to hit XL? It's never on target and always a circus catch. Bryce excusers love to bag on him cause it gives young a reason to suck. McConkey fans just feel like they lost out on something and won't give XL a chance.

Even the worst quarterback in the league wouldn't excuse a lack of effort.

You can't blame all of Legette's issues on Bryce, especially not when you see McMillan thriving.

I think he's existing. I mean, I guess it's relative thriving. I can only imagine what he'd be doing with a budding star or at least an above average QB.

    • The answer is simple and there for anyone who has actually been realistically assessing the situation from the jump. So look you have to start at the beginning. Bryce Young in college made plays yes. But he also played for Alabama under the modern GOAT coach. And even there when they were destroying smaller schools ultimately Bryce Young did not establish a consistent and successful deep passing game. Between him Tua and Mac Jones he had a drastically inferior deep ball. Fast forward to the NFL. He's had some nice throws here and there virtually all of them have been within the intermediate range. But he has not at any point showcased an ability to consistently go deep let alone become one of the better QB's at it which should be expected for his draft slot. And even those games at the end of last year his best game was against Atlanta where he did most of his work with his legs and he actually had several rushing touchdowns in that stretch of games. All of which opened a door for me IMO to question the sustainability of it. We drafted him to be a passer. We need him to win as a passer and more often than not that is what is going to be required of him. Now here we are reaching the midway point of his third season and he is now at 39 or 40 games and there are people who supposedly have functioning brains that are acting as if Canales is the one intentionally eliminating half the field. Yes he deserves criticism for different things but come on. We said all these things about Frank Reich too. Once you get to coaching staff number two it's time to say okay if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck and walks like a duck. It's a motherfưcking duck alright? The worst thing the Panthers staff and FO can do is continue going around like Helen fưcking Keller acting as if acknowledging the elephant in the room which is the reality that Bryce Young is not a franchise QB and not the answer and never will be will end in the universe swallowing itself and ending humanity. Nut up swallow that lump in your throat and put one foot in front of the other.
    • Two nights ago the Canes were second behind NJD in points, tied in point percentage. Right now before the game they are still second behind NJD in points (a game behind) and ahead in point percentage. Tonight can make Canes the point leader in the Metro, which was my point. .;)
