Top six doesn't surprise me. Though I wanted Hill over Cotchery. If Hill can't make plays then it suits him to sit back. BB was quality on third down. Just not happy with the punt reception but that's been taken care of it seems. I like the point about the growth of a person in first couple of years in the league. Bersin seems like a player that could be one of those. Cotchery is Proehl's man crush. His words. Chemistry can make the whole corps better, so let him be in the top six.

And you base this opinion on what may I ask?

​Nobody wanted Cotchery outside of us and the Steelers who wanted him at less than 1 mill a year. Hill couldn't beat out a QB in the practice squad. Bersin and Philly are two UDFA with limited potential and even with them starting our offense still struggled last season.

 

I don't hate them I just don't they're really that good. Why do you ask? You think they're something special?

Yes.I think Brown can be. I think he has a higher ceiling than your willing to give him credit for. Bersin can contribute as a possession receiver. 

Im not sure what to think of Hill yet. To be fair, Hill wasn't competing for a rostet spot last season. The roster was set when he was signed. I think it's obvious that the Panthers had no intentions of using Hill at all ladt season. I'm willing to hold my opinion on him until after he has a full training camp and pre season  with us.

​Meh 5'10 180 pound whose more quick than fast at best he's Welker/Edelman, but those guys stayed healthy and played in a offense that's perfect for them. Bersin won't probably see the field next year (no injuries).

Hill couldn't beat out Webb last season and the QB from Appalachian State, IDC if the panthers had no intention, they also had no intention of Bersin and Philly starting, when your needed and cant beat out former QB's that's saying something.

Just cause these guys play for the panthers doesn't make them automatically good.

I'm not predicting what Hill might be one way or the other, but to say he couldn't beat out Webb is being a bit disingenuous,  Hill was never part of any competition, considering he had no time in OTAs, training camp, or pre season.

Some people act like Hill was competing week to week last year to try to make the 53 and get in a game. I've seen that idea repeated a lot, that he 'could never crack the lineup' last year.

That was never the intent. He was signed to the practice squad to learn and get his fundamentals sound and compete this year. He was never intended to play in 2014 nor was he in any way competing for a roster spot.

Some people will say anything (truth be damned) to support or strengthen their narrative.

The issue is that from college up until yesterday he has had consistant problems catching. 

 

Where did you get the narrative that keeping him on the PS was the plan all alon?  I don't doubt its possible but where did someone state it?

​DeAndre Presley was signed even later than Hill, wasn't a WR in college, didn't participate any off season and beat him out for a roster spot when needed.

 

I heard funny story about Hill, rumor has it the jets knew we has terrible 2 weeks into OTA, apparently the UDFA rookies were out performing in practice, jets kept him on the roster not to look like complete fools for drafting him.

​Why do people think bersin is terrible? yeah at punt/kickoff return he is god awful. But at wr he got us plenty of first downs on third down. He isn't fast but he catches nearly everything thrown his way and cam seems content with him,

​This is because he was not drafted and everyone wants to think he is a mandatory J.R. player. 

Truth is.  Bersin has worked his butt off over the past 3 years and has made himself a solid NFL receiver.

I am 110% happy with Jeremy's list as him being #4. 

I look forward to a solid preseason from Bersin and will not be surprised if he stays #4.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
