Keep an eye on De'Andre Presley

Presley is still on the PUP but last week started to practice. He was returning punts along with Philly Brown.

The Panthers now have 2 more weeks to decide what to do with Presley, and last week Rivera indicated they would not rush a decision.

 

But the situation has changed, now Philly Brown is concussed and the Panthers are without a punt returner.

 

This team needs a spark, and Presley could be just that. It was obvious in practice he is far more quick shifty than anyone else on the Panthers offensive roster. Presley appears to have kept his cardio and speed in gameday shape. Blackburn will be active next week, which means Glanton will go back to the practice squad. The Panthers will have the room to move someone up to the active roster when that happens.

 

It would be a big gamble, but really, why not put Presley out there and see if he can shake a punt return loose for a long gain. Worst case scenario is he fumbles a punt, which Philly may have done anyways. If that happens, put Bersin back out there for a safe catch and return.

We always seem to cross our fingers and hope that some unknown quantity will step on the field and light it up. Still waiting to pull someone off the street or practice squad that is "that guy".

Because those are the feel good stories you root for as fans which is why we are still hoping for something out of Brandon Williams or Brenton Bersin.

I don't see these threads as promoting "The Next Great Practice Squad Hope" but rather an optimistic introduction to a player who might be on the field soon who most fans don't know much if anything about.

    • Difference between you and I here on this convo….is you only acknowledge PFF.   It’s hyper fixation from folks that get creative  and blinders to the rest.  Put that one website to the side, and all the other aspects we use to declare what top 10 looks like wouldn’t put Bryce in that type talk.     
    • What it tries to do is grade each player individually IMO. If XL drops a nice pass it tries to make it not hurt the player than threw the pass and if on a similar pass a WR like DK makes a leaping one handed catch it tries to even out how much credit the QB gets vs the WR. Yeah it has grey areas because some of it can fall under opinion despite them using specific measurements and charts to justify their definitions. Like it or not PFF isn’t going anywhere. Analytics are trending up right now. 
    • I’m getting 2 of 7 off his passing chart that day for balls that traveled at least 20 yards in the air.   And 20 yards in the air is largely the consensus of a deep ball.   that’s why I keep saying people are just running with a headline.  Because his best in the week deep declaration is based off a 2 of 7 day.  PFF is declaring him best off the day and using plays like a 50/50 jump ball to AT that went incomplete to build it.  That week was full of guys that factually were better deep…..everywhere but PFFs website.  Lamar, Stafford, Nix and on and on were all better in reality that week.  Hell, Mahomes in that same game.   PFF basically does a what if alternate reality on those deep throws.  So the volume of just throwing up a jump ball aids the PFF stat pending it’s a good 50/50 ball.
