Well, in 2 seasons….how legit fug it deep balls have been offered to him?  So, like the one thing we basically drafted him to be….isn’t on the table to really even gauge.  

but look, I’m just BSing with XL in this thread.  Who the Panthers need to move on from is clear.   2 weak links on O are Bryce and XL.   We basically got the rest in place 

Still need a C too, IMO. Draft someone, for fug's sake. It's about time.

He had 1 catch for 1 yard in one of the biggest wins in Franchise History.  They have literally tried everything with this guy and its not working.  Tmac has more yards this season, than Legette has had in 2 seasons.  Not sure if he just runs his routes slow or maybe Bryce has no faith in him anymore but if he cant contribute he shouldnt be on the field.  I think a benching is in order.  Receivers should be TMac, Coker, Renfro, Horn, Legette, Tremayne.

He will get one more year just as Mingo did. If he is still not catching on he will be trade bait before the trade deadline or he could be released in the final cut, and we just wipe our hands of the hold thing. I say they will take another WR in the next draft. just to give Young another option. Young has his 4th and 5th year even if he wins just 1 of the next 4 games.

One place a raw dude like XL isn’t going to fit at all…..is paired with a weak QB that needs QB friendly WRs.  I mean, when we drafted him it was constantly talked about how he didn’t fit with Bryce.   Would he maybe fit a fug it all chuck it deep O? That would be about it for XL.  Let the big boy have time to run downfield and let the raw tools do what they do.  

we overdrafted a raw WR for the Canales O but one that would be paired with a QB who didn’t fit either.  Results are as expected IMO. 

AT, TMac and Coker have one thing in common.  All are QB friendly.   Easy to see why XL trails them all.  Hell if Renfrow was 6’3 he would likely be a great fit too lol.  But he lacks the size to be friendly enough 

He'd fit in Buffalo because that's what Allen has really been lacking this year. He hasn't had that deep ball threat to throw it to. Now what could we get for him? Not much I'm afraid because his bone headed plays stand out just as much as his good ones do.

Nothing for now. He better step up though because Coker is coming for his job.

Let the man develop.  Year 3 is usually the big jump for WR’s in the nfl unless your like Megatron or Randy Miss.  Also this offensive scheme and QB play are hard to use to give him a good objective review.

[LinvilleGorge]

He and Coker should switch roles. Brycen Tremayne has looked better than him in limited opportunities if I'm being honest. If he wasn't a first round pick he would've already been buried on the depth chart.

Draft position is doing a lot to work for the duo on offense

The dumbest thing the rams did all game was that safety going over the top to his side instead of tmacs on those crossers for tmacs td.  No way XL hauls that in if its thrown to him.  No awareness by the safety

I really don't think so. They're different receivers. Coker doesn't have that straight line speed. X may have to worry if we bring someone else in, but I still think he has a chance to get it together.

He just did haul in an almost identical ball a couple weeks ago. Throw it to the right place he probably catches it. 
Btw, Tet has something like 6 drops and isn’t catching any flak for it. And I’m not saying he should but going by the hyper critical nature of many posters, that is a little telling. 

So I look it up…
Tet has something like 98 targets. I just closed the link but from memory. 6 drops.
Legette has 53 targets and 2 drops. Math says Legette’s drop rate is lower than Tet’s. 
The more you know. 
 

Spare me the cracks about feet in bounds, all that stuff. He wasn’t on the sideline.

He's fast so .. uhh... send him deep every play to drag off defenders, to open things up for TMac and Coker. Don't do anything stupid and actually pass him the ball though.

 This is the best use of him. He'll get open inevitably when defenses crowd the box on Bryce.

I'm still on the Legette train.  He's gonna be anywhere from solid to stud.  He needs a little more time and some better play from the QB position.

That's because tmac gets his hands on pretty much everything that is close to catchable. It doesn't count as a drop if you can't get close to the ball when it's thrown to you. What's xl's catch percentage
