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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
