Is there any other option at KR?

Bersin has muffed punts and at this height, it won't do. Seattle won't settle for field goals. They will make us pay. I couldn't help but cringe at times when the ball was being kicked to him. Albeit it may have been the punter shanking several punts. I feel sorry for the kid because he is a good player, but I don't believe he is suited for returning kicks. Who else would be available in the roster? Bene? Fozzy?

So instead of using the guy who has fielded our punts pretty well up until last week, we're thinking of putting someone completely new into a playoff game at Century Link?

 

Bersin has done ok this year, yes he's had mistakes, but he still has experience successfully fielding punts in hostile environments and these issues will be part of his learning experience.

You gotta pay more attention to my press conferences

 

While Rivera has no plans to switch out his returner, he did reveal cornerback Bené Benwikere is Bersin’s backup. And in a real emergency, the Panthers would turn to cornerback Josh Norman.

“And if it’s Josh Norman, hold onto your shorts,” Rivera said with a laugh.

It would awesome if someone actually blocked the other team so the return man wouldn't have 3 guys in his face every time the return man catches the ball!

That's the truth... I'd love to see the ratio of fair catches to return attempts for Bersin. Obviously the guy isn't the long term answer at PR, but he hasn't had a real chance to show anything, and it's not like he is calling needless fair catches back there.

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
