Legette is killing us

[Joe Bear]

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.

He'll be fine. As much as Canales is known as a QB whisperer, he and Idzik are really WR coaches. They'll get Legette right. He just needs to not be injured during off season workouts.

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.

Never take a guy in the first round that's a body catcher as a WR.  I'd take a slower and shorter WR that's got super glue for hands over a tall and fast guy with hands of stone.  That said, I wanted McConkey.

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.

Legette wasn't a body catcher in college. I personally think he's still having a tough time with that wrist injury and gutting through it.

I would prefer they keep looking in the drat until they hit on one. Don't matter want round just as long as he has great hands and is fast. 

Indeed. More Coker's and less TMJ/Mingo/XL's please. Get ACTUALLY fundamentally sound WR's. If it ends up being a Nabers/Jefferson type, even better. But the beginning and end of the WR discussion should be about how fundamentally sound of a WR you are.

Way too early for that kind of talk

Young player, he's going to make some mistakes, blow some routes, drop some easy passes.

There are older guys on the team with more experience that have dropped some passes this year, as well.

We're playing for next year, folks.

Man you’re funny but in all seriousness one thing we’re not taking into consideration is he seems to have hit his rookie wall. Because he’s definitely decreasing in production. We’re at week 15 that’s a lot of football for rookies some handle it better then others XL right now might need to regroup it appears he mentally fatigued hopefully he can get it together

Actually he was a body catcher and the reason I wasn't as high on him as some.  If he somehow feel to us in the 2nd round, I would have been fine with him.  I did not have a first round grade on him due to body catching and route running being insufficient.

On the plus side his route running has improved and he's getting open. 

But his catching still rates as atrocious
