First Down Brenton Bersin

Brenton Bersin is the feel good story of the year. A guy out of Wofford College that grew up in Charlotte as a Panthers fan is now making a real difference for the team on the field. Quite a few folks here have Stephen Hill replacing Bersin on the regular roster, but I don't see it happening. All Bersin does is exactly what he is expected to do, namely make a catch when called upon.

 

I asked Brenton about his role on the team.

 

"I only go in when Cotch, Avant, or Kelvin get a breather" Bersin replied. "So I gotta be ready to go no matter what."

 

Bersin now has 4 completions in the NFL, 3 of which were for first downs. "I try to get a first down after every catch" he remarked.

 

One thing I noticed was how well Bersin wraps up the ball after the catch.

"I go in there for maybe one or two plays a game, I can't fumble."

 

Bersin gets it.

 

Brenton is the ideal role player at WR for this team. He understands what he can do, and just as importantly what he must never do.

Not shifty enough for punt returns. He is back there on kickoffs though.

 

I thought the response would be in relation to his speed and quickness, but to be honest, I think it most benefits the team right now to have sure hands back there.  I like Philly and want him to succeed, but if another ball ends up on the ground, I think a change is necessary.

 

If Bersin could just fair catch or run straight ahead when he had the room, I would take that.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
