Somehow it took him the entire season to finally realize that Coker is #2...

Sounds about right for this dip poo it a coach 

Hes been getting #2 snaps since mid season. Do you watch?

Four years and 30 mil. No way! Maybe after another couple of seasons. 

$7.5 a year for a good #2 WR isn’t bad, especially when that probably would only have 10-15 guaranteed as well.

Its more than his production so far is worth, but its cheaper than other quality #2’s out there and by the end of 2026 would probably look like a bargain.

It's becoming more clear that this team didn't really know what they were thinking in drafting XL because he's not a good fit with Bryce at all. We've seen it with guys like Thielen and Moore that you give him a receiver that knows the fundamentals of the position well enough, he can at least get production out of them. XL is the complete opposite, a guy that came in super raw and even now, struggles with basics like knowing where the boundary is and running the route correctly. That and he just seems to play slow, almost like he has to think about what to do rather than just playing naturally. Nothing against the man, but I find it hard to see how he's going to work out here.

To be fair these were known issues and his physicality was supposed to make up for all of it, we just haven't seen it since he was drafted. And he still looks the part by NFL standards so it's kinda crazy how the strength hasn't translated at all.

It’d be trivial to craft some contract with a dummy year or restructure or designed to be extended in two years. Bro needs to get paid, plain and simple.

He needs the financial security to hire a full time live in chef and hire a personal trainer.

It translates when he’s blocking. Having good blocking on the boundary is imperative when half the qbs passes are behind the LOS

It’s just not what you want from someone you traded back into the first round for.

That was a quick decision by Canales.

I figured he would need at least another season to determine Coker > XL.

Rams back seven is pretty….bad. But Coker was unguardable out there. Def a player who understood his opportunity and cashed in on it. 

he’s have had another huge catch the third to last drive if bryce hadn’t thrown the ball out of bounds.

He has been out snapping XL, but this is the first game all year he’s played 90% of the snaps. We usually averaged around 65%of snaps during the regular season, and I bet most were from the slot.

This is a kind way of saying if anyone wants to trade for XL he’s available 

Yeppers! Blaming their "connection" is trying to get other GMs to think maybe XL will work with their QB.

We're going into 2 good starters and a couple of developmental guys. All we need is a mid-tier FA and/or a 3 4th/5th rounder to hit.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
