Sat within a few feet of his parents last year in Spartanburg.  They were both wearing Panther Bersin jerseys.  My wife asked who's that and pointed to their jerseys.  I just told her he was some guy that grew up in Jerry's neighborhood and went to Wofford and that Bersin was on the team as a mercy case.

Maybe this year he can prove me wrong.

Yeah looks I was dead wrong when I said last week he ceiling was a 4. I think he could end up at the 3 over Avant.

I like Bersin and he's got a promising future but Avant is clutch. When Bersin does something in games that count that warrants a YouTube appreciation video, I may reconsider but until then don't underestimate Avant. He's a great Cather of balls....he catches everything thrown in his general direction - that just what he does.

His stats are extremely deceptive in their current form. All they show is that he's capable of performing against 2nd and 3rd string guys. Theres been zero indication that he could perform, at a consistent level against 1st string NFL players.

 

Im not saying he doesnt deserve a chance though and I absolutely think the guy should make the final 53, but all this talk about him being a #2, needs to stop until he's actually proven he's capable of beating starting caliber players in the NFL on a consistent basis.

It's more important who those stats came against, doesn't mean much if they came against future grocery baggers.

A lot of you are really high on this guy, and I hope you're right. It'd be nice to see an undrafted project from the practice squad develop in to something legit, even if it's a second stringer.

 

I'm just not prepared to believe he's ready to start in the NFL.

Right now I see him, at best, to be a WR3. He seems to have the kind of hands and size you want for that kind of thing, particularly for your 2 minute and red zone offense.

But he has tons more to prove to me before he starts. And that all starts with being a role player against starters and doing that exceptionally well.

I wish everyone would stop thinking he is a practice squad guy.  I call it the Madden mentality.  It is as if they are given a number to their talent level and that is it.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  You are stuck with that number.

 

He was put on the practice squad for two years because someone saw potential.  No different that King or McNutt last year.  We just stole them Denver and Miami.  Last year he was right on the bubble and just missed it.  I think he could have done better than Hixon but that is my opinion. 

 

He has arguably the best WR coach in the NFL.  You know he learned from the best. 

 

I am not saying he is the second coming of Steve Largent but he could very well be another Ricky Phroel.  Just a bigger version.  What I am saying is give the man a shot with the first team and see what he can do.  Do it this week when it doesn't count.  If he does well then Gettleman was right.  Sometimes the answer is already on your roster.

 

KB, Bersin and King.  Wow a Rookie and two players that worked their way up to being a first team player.

 

Talk about getting the media all worked up.  Good God, NFL network or ESPN would have a meltdown for sure.

I'm not 6'3 210, attempting to make an NFL team, so your post is pretty irrelevant.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
