Legette is horrendous

The problem is he simply cannot be relied on at all. A football approaching Xavier Legette's hands has as much a chance of going well for the Panthers as a Bryce Young downfield throw to a WR in 2023 (none).

Not an unfair assessment but still, this was far from the easiest ball to not bring in.

Yeah when a guy's reaching out like that, it's not in the bread basket so it's not super easy. But a first-round pick worth a damn hauls it in and keeps it. Legette didn't let it fall out of his grasp, which, pathetically, is progress -- but he didn't finish the play.

He is a number 3 but it was clear he needed time when he was drafted.  He was\is very raw

Problem is, he gets worse every week. I think the time he needs is to be on the damn bench collecting dust (maybe it'll fall off him too). Or, put him at returner. He's worthless out wide.

Don't throw him the ball in any crucial situations. We have seen this show before with past wide receivers. He can't be relied on to make the play.

Yeah he didn't get a hand under it. It was the right call. Legette needs to be on the JUGS matching 4 hours a day. 

8 hours a day for a forty hour week x 6. Earn the spot.

The season is toast, now is the time to go through those growing pains (if that's all they are).

This. Chuba used to drop everything thrown his way. He was able to work things out. XL will too. He’s a rookie with only one full season starting in college football under his belt. He will get it together. Sucks but at least we know we have a good QB, we just need to surround him with talent. 

Either you can catch or you can't. That's his one job ( besides getting open ). 

He can't do what he was drafted to do

At some point we've got to stop drafting for measurables and just take a solid fundamentally sound football player (aka Ladd McConkey). This is Terrace Marshall all over again. Stop drafting WR's for "potential" and just take one that can get open regularly and catch the ball. It says a lot when an UDFA is more reliable than a #1 pick.

We been drafting large boys with small sample sizes since KB

Why are we drafting raw 23 year old wrs that had one good year in college in the first?

His college tape is a dude high pointing balls with 2 hands extension. Haven't seen a lot of that in the NFL yet,  but we should learn not to give up on guys too early.

Heard this before from him, it’s time to step up young man. He’s gearing up to be our Tee Higgins and we’re going to need a hot dam Jamar Chase a legit number one WR. It’s time to give Bryce the tools to ascend to the upper echelon. Remember what took Josh Allen to the elite tier it was Stefon Diggs in his prime. It’s that time for Bryce fellas.
