I don't think he's gonna stick around more than a couple years. It's an understandable gamble by UNC's brass. But despite our resident bandwagoner literally choking himself on the kool-aid, it's definitely not an immediate ticket to a conference championship.

Can we get one now? When do they drop?

Murphy would be an instant villain if he did that, but it's becoming (and only will continue to become) more common for guys to jump to their rival programs. He throws a great deep ball and you'd fall in love with that. His decision-making, however, is 2021 Darnold-esque.

Duke's Maalik Murphy entering the transfer portal. Not sure why. He peaked at Duke this year, and whoever else would get him would put him in a worse position (maybe a better team but as a backup, or a worse team as the starter).

I was fine with going after the local guy. Huge-ass mistake on my part to ever be alright with a Panthers draft pick. I've learned my lesson, though -- we're 5 1/2 months from making another pick, and he already sucks.

Maybe if Legette gets deactivated. If he's starting, there's no way -- unless he's only used as a decoy.

I watched the real first-round bust drop a pass that cost the team the game.

He's regressed to the point I don't want him on the field outside of special teams.

That's a fair point. What I don't like is he really performs worse the more he's out there, and he's as unreliable with the ball approaching him as Olindo Mare was on a field goal. Dan Morgan really batted .000 in his first draft.

Legette gets worse every game he plays. If he's out there Week 18, maybe he can set a franchise record for drops in a game.

Don't disrespect bricks like that.

UNC's likely getting scammed on this deal. Belichick's brand will help with recruiting but if I rooted for UNC, I wouldn't be rooting for this move.

If Jalen Coker is out for the rest of the season then I don't care.

I don't discredit his ability to get open. He's deceptively fast for his size. But he has to bring in more of these passes and finish the catch.

I look for IR to come today or tomorrow.

Also fumbled away a win against TB.

Cam Newton had his record used against him when he was in the middle of the best two-year stretch by any QB in this franchise's past, present or future. Record is the most important stat, but it's not the whole story. Young deserves some of that blame but the last couple months are on his teammates more than him. That said, we're all sitting here propping him up before a 4-turnover fiasco against Dallas. Every offensive skill position has cost them a game lately. He's probably due. *prepares for eight weirdos to poo this post because they took it personally*

Seven people took me saying "Bryce Young's doing a good job, but he needs to be challenged next year" as a personal affront, because it wasn't anointing him as the presumptive league MVP like they demand. Weird people.

3 YPC is not great. You spent months touting Young's low YPA. Take your medicine on Hubbard's low YPC.

Legette is a better athlete than those busts and he's also explosive in the open field, but he's in the same tier because on his best day, he has worse hands than TMJ, Mingo and Dwayne Jarrett.

I love how saying I like how Young has been playing but he should have someone challenge him for the job next year gets pooed by a bunch of weirdos, but those same weirdos are good with posts saying Young is barely serviceable. It’s looking like people scroll, see a username and react without reading.

He was tied for seventh in the league in drops before today (on the second-fewest targets). He's better suited for being a kick returner and the fact that whenever he drops the kickoff it'll likely just be a touchback. That said, yeah, there's some hyperbole in there.

Careful, the Soyboy Squad might get mad.

Yes. Mark it down, sharpie. Xavier Legette will go down as another failed first-round pick. Dude cannot catch, he has historically bad hands, and the only reason he gets a pass is his accent.

Legette gets worse every week. Can't wait for his five drops in six targets against Dallas. Maybe he'll play his way out of the league sooner this way at least.
