Philly Brown's Big Shot

Even though Sunday Night's matchup against the Chiefs is a preseason game, it may be the most important game of Philly Brown's young career.

 

According to Ron Rivera, Brown will be returning punts.

 

The Panthers are still looking for the player that will rise above and accept the punt return challenge. Against the Bills, Philly proved he was an asset in punt coverage, providing great special teams play. This week, he gets to show his value with the ball in his hands.

 

Philly Brown has punt experience from his days as an Ohio State Buckeye...

 

 

 

 

 

If Brown can perform at the same level in the pro game, his roster spot is a lock.

 

Brown has impressed as of late. During the last days of camp he seemed to have a light bulb moment, catching several nice passes and looking less like an undrafted rookie. The game may be starting to slow down for him a bit.

 

Ron Rivera recently named Brown as training camp's biggest surprise.

 

Cam Newton has also seemed to have taken note as indicated by his celebrations with brown after big plays.

In my latest , I had Philly Brown making the regular season roster as one of six wide receivers. For Philly to solidify that list, he will need to 1.) Not fumble or muff a punt and 2.) Have at least one decent return. If he can do those two things I believe the punt return position will be his to lose.

 

It doesn't get any bigger for a undrafted rookie trying to make a football team. Win and you're in. Lose and you go home.

 

This is preseason football at its best.

I don't think people realize how important this game is to not only Philly, but for the team in general. If they can't find a viable option for he return game. That could substantially cost us a game or two. There's a lot of pressure on Philly Brown currently. I hope he knows how to handle it and becomes what all of us want. A legit threat at least in the return game.

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
