I want to see more evidence of XL working hard this offseason. The interviews with him are fun and often off-topic because of his personality, but it’s frustrating to hear >50% non-football talk when he’s not performing to expectations
He needs to spend the off season really training hard and none of these music video nonsense. Put in the hard work and soak in whatever Chad has to teach you.
Is Chad from Carolina?
I love how Chad is becoming ride or die for the Panthers. Let him move into the stadium!
I still have faith XL being able to provide some value to us, cmon man show us what you got
this is why i hesitate to give up on xl, he’s shown flashes. others clown on him, but as a panthers fan, you should want xl to make that jump. he himself is willing to make the effort to become who we want him to. imagine tmac, xl and coker… all at full potential, opposing teams won’t know who to defend, especially if we get a game breaking rb or te. there would simply be too many weapons for them to handle.
Not many better people to learn the technical stuff from. Hope he can absorb some things.
Route God couldn’t fix him last off-season. Maybe Ocho can.
Just he’s training his routes and hands, not training him to get pee-pee surgery like Ocho talked about one time
My concern with X is that I don’t think it’s laziness. He seems like a worker to me. He seems to be in just insane shape, so I doubt he has conditioning issues. Additionally, it seemed to me that he both improved his route running and expanded his route tree quite a bit last season.
What concerns me about Xavier is he just seems like a guy who just doesn’t have a good feel for the game. He frequently just looks lost out there, and it feels like he has absolutely zero football instincts. He seems like a guy who’s gotten this far because he’s a freak athlete. Unfortunately, I just don’t know if he’s a FOOTBALL PLAYER. Frankly, I don’t know if he thinks he’s a football player either.
Xavier’s interviews and media like this from this week are giving me some belief he can get there.
You could tell from the Cam Newton interview dude’s still got his pride but he knows his game is flawed and is extremely receptive to figuring out how to fix it. That’s what it takes. It sounds like he puts in the work..just gotta get the info and mechanics internalized.
Good to see Chad giving back by trying to help these young men instead of bashing them like other vets. KPB, glad to have him in our fan base.
teach him how to catch the football
Ocho and Cam want to help him. They see his potential. Hope he can turn it around.
