Give Legette another season?

I think so.  People are still conflating winning while Bryce Young is playing, and Bryce Young playing well.  Bryce Young still struggles beyond belief to eclipse a lousy 200 yards passing.  There simply aren't opportunities through the air for any of the receivers.  Coker appears to be the clear #2 man right now and he's only getting one or two decent opportunities a game.  If he or a guy like TMac had a real QB they'd have staggering numbers, and I suspect XL would be having a solid season as well.  A receiver getting "cold" is a very real thing.  Legette gets one or two targets a game.  Watch his tape.  The dude is getting open.

XL has had some good and bad moments, but is improving.  Some of the other posters have pointed out the offense, and BY are really making development and success harder.

Coker doesn’t have a problem developing now does he?

He seems to just be a low IQ player on the field.  We obviously keep him but we have to figure a way to use his strengths.  Right now he's probably the worst receiver we have.  I'd like to see Horn on the field more to stretch defenses for one.  There's no way you can convince me XL is helping us more than if we had Renfrow on the field for clutch third downs.  XL is a good blocker though and as others pointed out I wonder if he could be better suited for a TE but I'm not sure there either.

There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play.

When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR.

Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
