It’s pretty bad when people on this website consistently scout the WR position better than our scouts and GM. I was wanting Keon Coleman and he’s tearing up Bills camp meanwhile Legette is nonexistent. 

This was a draft wherein we needed 3 or 4 hits.  I love the Brooks and Sanders picks, and when they start contributing, the offense will be better.  When you are in that situation, you take the sure bets--take a guy who will make the team and be a good player over a guy who is boom or bust--Legette is the picture of Boom or Bust.  Besides that, with Johnson and Thielen, we are talking about the Z (3) WR--and we have Mingo, TMJ there.  How much better would we be if Legette is good?  Four to six passes per game?   I would not have minded a CB like Cooper or Kool Aid (assuming they did homework on him).  Again, not giving up on Legette but he is raw, so we shouid not be surprised.

That's Dionte's role, Legette will probably feature on slants, comebacks, overs, and manufactured touches (sweeps, screens) while he develops. 

People need to realize we have enough for him to be the 3rd or even 4th option if needed this year, same way we can afford to wait on Brooks, and Samdera "if" needed.

I like the idea of making the game simple for him this year. Get touches on screens, quick slants, and have him out there causing congestion on mesh routes. Get used to the speed of the game while we refine his route running and mental aspect

Agreed with Legette. He needs manufactured touches. Put him 1 on 1 with small corners on a screen or put him in motion so a nickel is covering him and let that big man break a tackle.

Really think they've designed a few  "jump balls plays" for Legette too. Bryce placing it catchable correctly is another story we'll have to watch unfold. 

He already has the athleticism but I also think he has the right mental to succeed(from what I've seen thus far). I wouldn't bet on him having Puka Nacua numbers/effect in year one though. 

Year 2-3 guy ....he needs time to develop. 

The same reason I'm not willing to give up on Mingo.

You do understand you are saying it's possible for a player to develop to Panthers fans, right?

You know how fuging rare that is here?

This is true but damn they are a PROFESSIONAL organization with PROFESSIONALS so I damn well expect players to develop and coaches to get them there. I realize I am expecting a lot by the turd we have seen the past number of years but holy poo we have to eventually get it right and get coaches that are worth a crap who can develop players and players with enough work ethic, care, and tenacity to want to develop and further themselves.

I said it in another thread, but when you need to get on base, you hit for contact.  When you have some base runners, you can afford to swing for the fences.  But if you hit a home run with nobody on base, the impact is less.

It's very similar to building a roster.  The odds of a lot of these types booming is so low.  The most likely scenario is you're going to get lucky on 1 or 2 over several years.  That's not enough to build a roster.  You need some potatoes on your plate to fill things out.  When the marginal low ceiling guy isn't going to make the roster, you can take some chances on higher ceiling prospects.

What has seemed professional about the Tepper era? Like...even a little bit?

I dont really care how you want to spin it, its the NFL so I expect professional. Tepper is what he is. I will at least have hope that he gets it this season and stays out of things. In other words sign the damn checks and get out of the way and allow the guys who "football" to "football". New coaching staff and im not going to poo on them before I ever even see a game coached by them so im going to assume they can develop and successfully coach players especially rookies as decent coaches are supposed to be able to do. Its really as simple as that.

The amount of people here who expect WRs to be instant impact players makes me laugh.....

 

Very few rookie WRs outside of the top 8 picks are year 1 monsters.... with a WR you usually don't know what you have until year 3.

 

 

That is true with probably 90% of players regardless of position. The number of them that look great their first year are exceedingly rare.

You sound like me last season. My advice join a gym. It does wonders for the mind and body. When we struggle like we did last year I just stopped watching games and went to the gym during our games. 

I can no longer spend my time and energy on a damn game of football. Much more important things in life to be stressed about the Panthers.

 

 

A gym bro? It’s clear these people need women in their lives.

Drafting Leggete was so damn stupid. Dude couldn't get on the field for his first 3 years in college but somehow is magically going to be a stud NFL WR when he can't even stop and go. Bro doesnt even know what 23-10 is. Everyone says he's going to be DK Metcalf but how many DK's are there? Only 1. Then we draft a RB in the 2nd. Unless you're a piece or 2 away, drafting a RB in the 2nd when you have so many holes to fill is so damn stupid. Chuba showed he's capable of holding down the RB spot last year on a rebuilding team. At least watching the NY Giants Offseason Hard Knocks they actually made logical, smart picks while rebuilding a team. So sick of this clown show. Why was I cursed by becoming a Panthers fan? 

U must be the same moron Sheena cooked on twitter. 23-10 is not the answer dummy.

      Cam will be on a reality show, airing in January

      By d-dave · Posted

      There's a real physical toll that playing in the NFL takes on the body.  Certain things just won't work the same, which will make some of those challenges painful and hard.  These folks are all rich and have cushy lives to return to.  I'm not saying Cam will leave first, but I can see it after a few episodes when old injuries flare up.  Or he decides he's done with it.

      His size could work against him…BUT Cam is a weird duck.  He was wired differently.  I would bet on the young Cam that could barely get dressed after a loss….that dude wouldn’t have quit easily IMO.  But that dude doesn’t exist anymore.

      Finally a power ranking we are top 5 in..

      By rayzor · Posted

      i got attacked by a housecat once. pretty terrifying.  i was at a friends house and the cat jumped on my lap. it was calm for a minute but then it turned on it's back and bit my hand and sunk it's claws into my arm, all four of them so i grab the thing and pull the thing off my arm, dragging it's claws down my arm. i finally get the crazy thing off and throw it on the ground then it grabs my leg (fortunately i was wearing jeans that day) and the owner, who has just been sitting there in shock watching this happen to this point, grabs the thing and carries it downstairs and throws it outside.  supposedly that cat had never done anything like that before. i had been over there a lot and never had any problems with that cat. but something happened to it and it was never the same. went completely mental. they kept it outside after that. one week they went on vacation for a few days and apparently a stray chow came around and when they got home, the chow had the cat trapped under a car. no telling how long it had been there.  they chased off the chow and the cat ran off and they never saw it again. then that chow came back and hung around for a while and was terrorizing the other animals, including an old horse they had in a pasture. it killed at least one cat that i know of. they called animal control on it and they found it under one of their outbuildings. they figured the only thing they could do is shoot the thing. they shot it with a shot gun and it took one blast and then went running towards the guy who shot it and had to shoot it again.
