I was with you until you just gave all the credit to another man. 

I think he's just saying that having a vet presence is going to help a guy learn the ropes in the NFL.  Coker does it himself, but every player benefits from vet expertise (especially from a guy that's essentially been there).

Victor Cruz 2.0. Hope he can stay healthy unlike Cruz. I think he can be a long term starter for us, but ideally as a #2 not our top guy. Maybe Legette can develop into that top guy but not a good rookie season. 

I can see the Cruz similarities. I read a Coker piece where he said that he was getting some 4.4s before the hammy knocked him in the draft. Healthy is key. He said he’s been healthy his entire college career until that point. 

The offseason couldn’t have come at a better time for him, and he’s going in to it with his most clutch game to date. 118.8 passer rating and a heck of an effort at the goal line.

He owned the last drive. Most rookies, and a lot of veterans fumble on that goal line play trying to do too much. Smart guy with strong hands and ball security. That play showed me a lot. He was right there but showed restraint. Intelligent. 
 

I want it for Xavier as I genuinely like the dude and his ceiling. Hopefully the wrist surgery fixes the drops. I can’t think of a single true #1 in the league who catches with his body.

      Has Cade Mays proved to be our starting center, or do we look for another?

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      At this juncture, I'm leery of bringing in any more Uglies over 30. Too much money and risk of injuries is a lot higher. I have some issues with Mays and I would really like to strengthen the interior but I feel any potential alternative should be via the draft. That said, I would prioritize drafting an eventual replacement for Moton over a center.

      Tell that to Andy Dalton. He was without Thielen and Coker, right? He had Johnson and Mingo after losing Thielen during the Raiders game. Did the play caller change? Stop the excuses and pulling down the success of the receivers and the playcalling. So, why is Young throwing more risky throws a game better than reading the defense post snap and making the correct decision? That gives the defense more opportunity to change the game. Young's accuracy is good. His post snap pocket vision and decision making is not. That's why you don't want to be on the left side of that chart compared to the field. He will continue to cost the Panthers games against good and mediocre pass defenses if you want him to stay on the left side throwing more passes into tight windows. We also know having Thielen and Coker is an improvement over Johnson and Mingo. So, I'd say Dalton would have moved further to the right if he had Thielen and Coker. Give Young Johnson/Mingo instead and you'd likely see Mac Jones type production with the Patriots having him high and left in that same chart. You can't just hope Young plays the worst pass defenses like the Giants, Cardinals and Falcons for 17 games. Teams have and will make Young pay for what he did against the Cardinals and Falcons. There won't be an OT opportunity against those defenses. Young needs to get himself over to the right side of the chart with Jayden Daniels and Andy Dalton. The supporting cast excuses are not going to do that for him.

      We should draft one in the late rounds, but it feels good for OL to not be an emergency need going into an offseason for once.
