With more playing time, Legedu could have been average. I don't see why people hate on him so much.

I don't hate him... I think at the end of the day we already have 2 other talents equally proven as him. Maybe this is their chance to shine. LN did screw up some big plays last years but Lafell appeared hungrier! Losing LN won't hurt us yet may not help us immediately either. btw, "could have beens" are as bad as "has beens" which equal potentially! "Potential" is a word I'm tired of in Carolina. We need solid talent.

The guy had a slow start and people who don't pay much attention and/or are swayed by forum posts never gave him a break for the rest of the season. He was ok here.

Legs was a stop-gap to come in and produce while our existing WR's (outside of Smith) learned the offense. Once LaFell grasped more of the offense, Legs dropped to third WR. He did what he was supposed to do and now he's on his way to somewhere else.

Exactly. He was never meant to be top-tier although he was starting opposite Steve Smith. He came in here and played the role he was signed to play and that was to provide us with some experienced depth. It's not his fault that Lafell needed more time to develop. Not being satisfied by his results is one thing, but hating on the guy for not asking to be placed lower on the depth chart with respect to his skill is ridiculous. Good luck on your next team, Legedu.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
