XL is a Lost Cause

[Khyber53]

Sometimes a guy suddenly falls into a crap ton of money and doesn't know what to do with himself or how to keep earning that money.

I hope he wises up soon. The clock is running out for him. 

That being said, 3rd season is usually the one where most good to excellent wide receivers turn it around and become pros.

Gotta wonder how much Bryce affects him too. XL strikes me as a guy that relies on game rhythm to get his poo going. Bryce is about as inconsistent as a QB can get. That said, he seriously needs to focus on his game and catching the damn ball. A WR that can't catch is useless.

Bryce doesn't have anything to do with not knowing where the sideline is.  Or how to get two feet in bounds.

Didn't say that he did. He's obviously got issues. It just struck me with the second part of his comment that he doesn't get the ball where he can do much with it. That's all.

Jalen Coker spent less time on the field than XL between injury and the depth chart, and still finished with more receiving yards and the same amount of touchdowns.  And that doesn't even account for Coker's playoff game.

XL sucks.  And I don't think any amount of hard work is going to make him a starting WR.  Because at the end of the day, the foundation has to exist, and unfortunately, XL just doesn't GET the position.

And he's almost 25, if you haven't developed basic concepts of your craft by that age you are probably not ever going to be elite at that craft. If it takes him a few more years to even get his head right, his body will start going the other way as he can't afford to gain any more weight or lose any speed for his build
