Is Legette going to take football serious or just enjoy being a meme?

Here is what i do not get--Morgan says, "We gonna get some DAWGS."  XL has gifts, size, speed, but Morgan's first draft pick--the one he traded up for-- is not a dawg.  I want him to do well, but he needs to be the alpha and take it to the defensive back.  It is not just about being physical, but it is a mindset that makes you think you are the best player on the field--that the others are scared of you--it is not about running your mouth--it is between the ears.  I think he will be better by next year.  Forget the accent--forget the Possum pudding--get your frigging head right and start thinking that every ball in the air is your next touchdown.

I am not sure how many of the guys in that draft matched that "dawgs" description, TBH. I think we did a decent job adding some of those guys in free agency but it seemed pretty light on that mentality in the draft. Seemed like more of the same Fitterer/Rhule RAS guys.

That’s even worse. He lacks self awareness. If he was an all rookie WR, then sure post your weird squirrel videos. But since he was a huge let down, a lot of people don’t want to see him broadcasting himself eating road kill.  Too bad he doesn’t have the same passion for posting videos of him hitting the jugs machine and improving himself on the football field. 

I wouldn't say he was a huge let down and I don't think most fans feel that way.

Legette was good this season overall

Y'all weird AF, it's one week into the off-season...

Exactly, and it’s even more important as a WR. 

I don’t know what to think about dude. I like that he’s country, but I see far more content about his life than I do about his career. Which one is more important to him?

I have had several people from other fanbases talk about him when I say I am a Panthers fan as I travel the country. Not a single one of them has ever seen him play a down or can tell me anything about his football accomplishments. Every one expressed surprised when I pointed out he leads the team in drops.

He is doing a good job being a character but not a very good job being a football player. I hope that he gets his football ability up to where his marketing ability is.

One look at XL, and I can assume he’s probably a lot harder worker than you and most others. You don’t get his level of athleticism without working extremely hard. 
 

Now, his hands do need some work this offseason. I’m confident he’ll improve them. 

[Gapanthersfan]

It’s been said, but it’s not his fault that the panthers reached. He’s a project with hopefully a high ceiling. I hope he is taking this seriously, but I have reservations. 

You can’t use a first or second round picks on a project. I hope it changes.

So you’re comparing me and others to an NFL player? That’s your argument? The average person isn’t blessed with elite athleticism and genetics. That’s a horrible comparison. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I think XL is genuine and country. The kids all use social media and he is doing the same it seems.  I think he is being himself and that’s fine.
 

Just want him to stop dropping the ball so much.

His goofy social media BS only bothers me because he is such a critically flawed football player. I really couldn't give two shits what he is eating out of the woods behind his house.

I mostly give shits about his hands that seem to be slathered in squirrel grease.

dang bro! squirrel grease?!

take it easy on big country. he'll get better. it'll take awhile, but he will.
