This offseason the Panthers signed Mike Tolbert to upgrade over Goodson, whom was traded to the Raiders for Campbell whom is depth at the RT position for when Jeff Otah is traded to the Jets for a draft pick to make up for trading a draft pick to the same Raiders for Louis Murphy to sure up our receiver corps. Traded a fumble machine and a cripple to get a viable receiver who can block and a solid backup with potential (All at no cost!) and signed a beast on the cheap. What a day.

It's almost as if it was all planned out from the beginning. Dump off dead weight to make the roster better not just on offense but special teams as well. Give Hurn-dawg props where it is due. :clap:

Didn't think this needed its own thread, so I'll drop it here as it could relate to some potential Hurney Magic.

Think he knows something we don't?

Maybe, but lets sit on that one before we make assumptions. Too many assumptions today, hurts my brain.

Cripple for a WR who just had a recent injury himself this past season. If that is true what some people said. Yes decent trade. But only if Murphy doesn't get hurt again and he can produce. Then the trade is all worth it.

We waited too long to get rid of Otah (former 1st rounder who we gave up picks for) and could only get a 7th for him. Hurney is Hurney. Not terrible, not great. Somwhere in the middle. Only magic he has is staying average.

this is true.. It's not Hurney Magic because that would imply Hurney can do the impossible, and that is what it would take for Hurney to be respected by some..

I think that's the expectation the coaching staff has as well... after all, our current rookie 7th round pick may not even make the team, so if all we lose is a 7th for Murphy (worst case scenario) then so be it.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.

      And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
