Who I've become sold on that don't seem like 1-yr wonders

[davos]

I wanted to be patient with a few guys that were either seemingly random pickups or a late draftee, but now after a month+ of solid play, I'm sold on them in their current or increased roles for next season:

 

Bene Benwikere

What more can be said of his play?  Just wow.  He's a vet in a rookie body and it makes sense why we traded up for him.  

 

Fozzy Whittaker

I've really liked this kid and not just for the name.  Consistent + solid in college and he's made the most out of limited touches.  3 TDs this season off of like 40 touches.  Has great burst and elusiveness.  Whether he's in a RB3 or RB2 role, he's a good added element to both our screen and run game.  

 

Mike Remmers

From the looks of it, this guy has bonded very fast not just with the rest of the revamped OL but the whole offense.  It took the staff a way too long Chandler experiment ending to bring him in, but when they finally needed a new RT, DG found one and this guy looks to be the part of an NFL RT.  I don't know long term, but I'm comfortable with him to start next season.   

 

Tre Boston

I see the other thread about him but want to give him another quick shout out.  The way he stuffed that run plus his defensive positioning and awareness looks great.  I imagine he could go through some growing pains next year but I'm optimistic so far.  I don't think he'll need to be a full time starter quite yet but he could move into that role by mid/late next season.  

 

Andrew Norwell

Yes.  

 

Honorable mentions: Colin Jones, Philly Brown, Adarius Glanton

 

We've got a young hungry group.

But they have not been for more than a year so how can you already declare them NOT-1yr wonders? I will wait until next year before crowning them but no doubt they are playing well this year.

Norman and Turner?

[Herbert is Sorry]

If Gettleman continues to get late round gems and UDFA gems he is going to put us in a very good position.

[Herbert is Sorry]

Bersin

Norman and Turner?

 

For sure.  I've kind of been on team Norman for a bit though and Turner was a 3rd round investment.  They've played grrreaaatt though. :thumbs up:

Bersin

 

I can see him floating back into irrelevance a la Drew Carter, Colbert, Hackett, etc. 

[PantherDynasty]

Bersin

...is a joke? Agreed

You've got to be cautiously optimistic with guys but if they really show a certain level of play, then I think they become obvious fits.  You've got guys that showed something early on but then proceeded to become worse...and worse like Colbert, Godfrey, McCree, there have been plenty, but these guys look the part to me.  Sure it's early to proclaim this but the level of their play since coming in has been enough for me.

Bersin has made some key first down catches for us this year and has been pretty sure handed. I can't see throwing him under the bus for one screw up.  Yea we definitely need a new kick/punt returner but he has done decent as a receiver in his limited touches.

He won't need to float back he's been irrelevant all year as it is...

Good point haha

[KendrickPanther]

Remmers compared to Chandler looks like Erik Williams. But I am not sold on him. Our offensive line had a tough time last night and he was a part of that. I think he's earned a chance to compete next year but I wouldn't be comfortable with this line next year.

He's done his job as a WR4 but it's pretty sad he's our return man.
