​that's really the best you can do

"yeah he can run routes and catch at an NFL level but he wouldn't be on any other NFL team so *cut* "

​Okay, you want me to be honest?  He has a potential ceiling of where he is right now.  At least Corey "Philly" Brown can be a damn solid number 3.  His ceiling is much higher, so is Stephen Hill's (although I think the Jets might of ruined him).  That's the difference.  Bersin won't be in the NFL a long time like Cotchery or anything.  So spare me your bull poo about liking the kid.

​your argument against having him floating around at 5th wide receiver does absolutely nothing for me.  it's more about that than "liking the kid".  by the way you can check the cardinals divisional gameday thread to see how much i love brenton bersin.

who wants bersin to be a number 3?  who thinks he's vaguely threatening to philly brown?  whose reps is he stealing?  yeah i know everybody is in love with track star stephen hill with his stone hands who apparently hasn't been able to catch a cold in practice so far.  if hill with his massive upside can't beat out a guy who looks like he should be playing guitar in a whitesnake cover band then maybe that's his problem.  have you considered that?

​Umm, where are the reports saying Hill has had stone hands in OTA's I've heard good reports on him. The reports on Boykin and some other the others haven't been as good however. 

1-Benjamin

2-Funchess

3/4-Ginn/Brown (not sure who wins here yet)

5-Cotchery/Bersin (I think vet presence wins this battle)

6-Hill (if we keep 6 receivers)

​You did see the part where I said I think the Jets ruined him right?  Out of a number 5 or 4 receiver I want someone that has some kind of potential to tun into a number 3 at least.  Bersin doesn't have that.  But whatever.

I'm good with Bersin.. just no bubble screens to him, no having him be the only weapon on the field in a critical moment in a playoff game, and (hopefully) no punt returns. If they keep him around as a third down/possession receiver, he'll be fine. So it's more on the coaches not putting him in those situations

​This is my stance on the 4th-6th spots as well. With Benjamin, Funchess, Olsen, Dickson, Ginn, Brown and the backs all being involved in the passing games, barring injury guys 4-6 on the depth chart won't see that much action. 

With that being said those last spots IMO are for developing future contributors, so to me potential ceiling should trump a ''solid'' guy. I'm not saying Hill is the next anything, I just think his future could be brighter. You can find possession receivers across the board. However Hills raw abilities are much harder to come by. 

If we kept Bersin around 3 years on the PS before he played, who's to think we wouldn't let Hill occupy the 5th or 6th spot to continue his development...

​he had some bad drops according to jeremy's recent updates.  voth's daily video a few days ago showed him dropping balls that hit him in the chest.

if a guy can't catch then he's toast and his spot on the depth chart will go to someone who can, "upside" be damned.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
