XL is a Lost Cause

I don't think we should get caught up in dropped pass statistics when we watched all the games.  The eye test with XL is that he's not dependable.  He drops easy passes.  He makes low football IQ moves like stepping out bounds, penalties, etc.   He also seems like he's running in quick sand sometimes out there.  Compare it to when we would give Jimmy Horn the ball and XL was faster coming out of college.  I get that maybe Jimmy is just quicker and not sustained faster but the difference is crazy.  And while T Mac had a good bit of drops he just looked like a real receiver out there and made up for it.  Bryce has probably lost confidence in him and may be one reason he's open sometimes and doesn't get the pass (on top of Bryce's issues of course).

Honestly, it may be he's just done here and is jaded and needs traded.  Or he needs to sit on the bench and see how he responds (I don't expect anything great).  But I liked Horn's speed and potential more than XL at this point.  We should look there, the draft, and potential free agents and not keep waiting on XL to turn the corner.
