Carolina needs a shot in the arm in the return game.  This guy is a speedster.  Bucs are releasing him from their PS.  I think hes definitely worth a look.

Philly is a really good WR and KO returner. Terrible at PRs. If this guy won't put the ball on the ground and doesn't look like he's about to poo a brick every time he catches a punt, why not?

I would take a look as just a pure return specialist. I feel he would be like Trindon Holliday and not be able to take NFL hits. Trindon had a few fumbles from getting rocked on returns. Speed is useless if you cannot hold onto the ball.

I would love to have Jeff Demps,the fastest man in the NFL, with his 4.26 40 speed, on our team but i'm not sure where he would fit. Demps is 5'7" 191, to small and inexperienced to be a every down RB,so he would have to be a special teams player.The importance of kickoff returns is diminishing,so it might be hard to find a role for him considering we have lots of other needs.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
