I'm not bashing X too much. I've tried to stay solely critical based upon ball. I'll only say that maybe he's too much of a project to be saddled with the likes of Bryce.  

 

He isn’t getting much help for sure. At the same time, he needs to help himself. I am 50/50 on him and he does need someone worth a damn throwing to him.

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.  

Legette doesn’t circus catch. He can’t regular catch. That ball in the end zone required turned shoulders and putting up two goddamn hands. Circus catch, get real. Circus clown statement.

Legette can’t run routes or catch so I’m not sure what a better QB does.  He’s Shenault 2.0.  Not like as in improved but he’s the second coming of Shenault.  Borderline useless player that’s only place is a few meme plays that will lose their effectiveness as soon as they hit film.

At least Shenault is a threat to do something with the ball in his hands. XL hasn't even shown me that. Doesn't seem to have great vision and as a runner and goes down easy. Honestly, XL doesn't look long for the league and Coker and probably Tremayne too should've already leapfrogged him on the depth chart.

Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out.

Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.

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.

If you're not giving it your all In your current situation, why should I trust you to give your best efforts in a different one?

XL had no NFL future before his super senior season.  He scored a pretty nice payday off getting picked in the 1st round.  Even if its the last pick.  I don't think he cared at all what happened after that point.

And it ain't like he doesn't have talent and measurables. He has both. 

He just seems to be wasting them😕

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
