Ladd has arguably been the best rookie receiver this season. He was drafted in the second round. fug, when was Parsons drafted, and who did we pick? Don't tell me that four or five draft spots is a reason to fail at drafting.

I'm never ever going to be mad about a win. If an FO can't make a team better because they slid a few spots regarding draft position, then they don't need to be in the NFL. There are just too many talented players every draft to miss (unless you just are clueless), and we need whatever talented new personnel that we can get.

Yeah, I liked Legette, not gonna lie, but I think that I'd have had a hard time passing up Ladd. Go Dawgs!

You forgot the "high" part.

And I'm having discussions to get a custom gold and moissanite ring made that will likely cost me a stack. I'm either a very dedicated fan or a fool.

Crank that rack, you're killing me. He would've gone well with Bryce too.

Well, all the tankers should be happy. Getting blown out always leaves a sour taste in my mouth...always.

I mean, I hear you, but if Tet McMillan is on the board when we pick, there has to be a discussion. Same with Mason Graham even more so (especially if we get closer to pick 4).

All that hype Piniero was getting about being the most accurate in history. It went to his head and not his leg.

Not quite the same, but I get your point. Bryce hit Thielen in stride. I think Thielen is a better fit for Bryce's arm talent.

Yeah

Thielen still has something left in the tank obviously.

If Bryce gets it down field far enough, like he was supposed to, then Legette makes the catch...maybe.

Plus, I've seen at least two PIs not called

I knew they were going to blame that on Legette which is nonsensical.

Must be hot take. Dude has received a bunch of so far.

No, I said you're right about "hating" him and being a Panthers fan. I also understand your skepticism. But as for me, I can't say just because it has been this way, means that it's going to continue being that way. There are different people at the helm making the decisions, and changes have been made in the scouting department, and not just on the pro side. We aren't a stagnant FO.

I don't see it as a tracking issue, I see it as a hands issue and chemistry issue. He jumps for no reason at times even on shorter passes. Tracking was never an issue for Legette, and I don't believe that it is now. We'll see if your "deeply flawed" characterization of Legette---and it's not the first time that you've used the term---holds water through 2025. I say it's hands and chemistry. Work on those, and he'll be fine.

Alright, point taken, it doesn't help. You have consistently made definitive statements that are decidedly negative however. Legette has really shown better route route running than TMJ or Mingo. He simply needs to work on his hands.

Caleb will be fine with the right coaching in my opinion. Thomas Brown ain't it. He'll never reach his potential being handcuffed. The young man is talented, but he holds on to the ball entirely too long. He's got to learn that the NFL is a different animal.

Which is ironic because it's mainly his hands and jumping at the catch point, sometimes unnecessarily, that's letting him down a little bit. He's not great at route running, but the graph really shows that he's middle of the pack. He's actually running better routes than people thought that he could. It is my thought that the coaches need to put him into better positions to succeed, he and Bryce need to focus on developing better chemistry, and Legette needs to get on the JUGS machine religiously.

I see a little irony in there somewhere. Many were worried about Bryce not being tough enough for the NFL. Well, I think he's proven that he's one tough kid.

Do serious and credible analysts base their opinions on a player's rookie year, much less a player at a so-called skill position? To each his own. Keep that same energy as X improves.
