XL is a bust

Cam made Devin fuggin Funchess look decent, and XL has WAY more athletic ability and potential than Devin Funchess ever had. It's the QB. How are you supposed to evaluate WRs when your QB can't even muster up 100 yds passing in the modern NFL? 

Yeah it is along the lines of ‘fraud vitiates everything’, it just prevents an honest assessment. 
You got guys with some acknowledged issues, really swimming upstream due to the quality of the QB.

XL has without a doubt had his share of bad moments. But you cannot understate how awful many of these passes are and even the ones that have been better have often been poorly placed. Throws to the sideline and throws to the back of the end zone are basically off the table as passes just sail over the receivers head. Defenses have all of this on tape. It makes their job easier. Until we get an adequate passer in here who can open the entire field we cannot fully evaluate the moving parts of this offense.

I think back to game two this year when he got a lot of targets and was unable to do anything. When you look back nothing, or maybe one, was in a decent place for him to get.  I think it was week two. And ‘a lot’ maybe be overstating but there were a few.

Isn’t XL the player Nicole Tepper told Canales to trade-up for during draft day?

Yeah we discussed it at the time. It's just impossible right now to make any firm determination. We know Legette is a project but it's also to the point where now even TMac has begun to be relegated to scapegoat at times. I just don't see this situation lasting through the rest of the season without an eventual boil over. Sooner or later guys are going to air out their frustrations.
