Predicted WR Depth Chart:

 

Kelvin Benjamin

Devin Funchess

Philly Brown

Ted Ginn

Stephen Hill

Jerricho Cotchery

 

(Joe Webb a cut candidate, Byrd, Lucas to PS, others gone)

This is the most plausible thing I have seen when judging who gets the roster spots. I may disagree with your order, but that's for another day.

What's different with Hill this year than last year where he was beat out on the roster by a UDFA rookie WR in Corey Brown, Bersin, and Joe Webb, and was on PS and had King picked off our PS before him to Jacksonville. I'd love to have him work out and be a steal but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I hope so, like I said I hope for the best that we got a steal,  but it says a lot that a 2nd round draft pick cleared waivers, stayed on our PS all year without getting a claim and was beat out for a roster spot by Bersin, Webb, and Brown. 

 

This article just reminds me of a Nate Chandler or left handed Bryon Bell feel good articles about them being tackles last year by Panthers.com

It definitely is a feel good article. Everybody likes an underdog or a comeback. It's something most of us can relate to in some fashion. I just think the more of these stories that come to fruition the stronger your positive momentum is felt in the locker room. 

He seems to be putting in the work though. I hope it works out as well, the raw athleticism is obviously there, the motivation seems to be there... There's no reason for him not to succeed.

I've said it before that Hill has potential to make the roster with his physical characteristics. People wanted to say that he's had his chance and all this crap but Hill can be a game changer if he's shows some mediocum of catching consistency and wr acumen.

This is just completely false.  ​He wasn't "beat out" by them.  Hill was signed literally a couple of days before the regular season began.  Meaning he missed all of OTAs with us, training camp, and preseason.  He didn't know the playbook at all, and had absolutely zero chemistry with anyone on the roster.  All those other guys had already found their places on the depth chart through their OTAs, training camp, and preseason battles.  The roster was set by the time Hill got here.

Hill was a signing for the future, and it was largely expected he probably wouldn't play much at all, if any, last season.  We just spent all of 2014 helping develop him and letting him learn our offense for the following season, where he would actually get a chance to fight for a roster spot.

 and was on PS and had King picked off our PS before him to Jacksonville. I'd love to have him work out and be a steal but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

This is wrong too.  We cut King back in August during the preseason.  Jacksonville scooped him up.  We picked up Hill in September right before the Bucs game.  At no point were they ever on the team at the same time.

I don't disagree on the who. but I am curious why you think Philly Brown will be ahead of Ted Ginn, and why you think Hill will be ahead of Cotchery...

Like I always said, competition will determine who makes it and who doesn't. At this point, roster predictions are pretty pointless as it pertains to the WR corps. May the best men win, and lift this corps from the depths of mediocrity.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
