​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.

Hey man, it's fine if you have no faith in Hill ever catching on with the Panthers, but why are you making poo up? 

Pressly has been with Carolina since 2013.

If Brenton Bersin's sorry ass is number 4 on our depth chart entering the season, many people will be quite disappointed.  

If our biggest weakness on the team is our 4/5 receiver we are in pretty good shape.

When you factor in Olsen our 4/5 receivers will actually be 5/6 in team catches.  If we actually throw to our backs some they could be even lower.  Whoever gets those last roster spots will probably be lucky to have 30 receptions on the year.

If we assume that KB, Funchess, and Brown become our starting 3 that might only leave 2 roster spots active on game day.  Funchess might not start the season as a starter, since he is a rookie, but I think most of us expect or hope that is the case by later in the season.

I would think Ginn has a very good chance of making the team because of PR ability, so that leaves 1 game day roster spot.

With the last spot, who would you activate on game day? Cotchery, Hill, Bersin, or one of the other young guys.

Hill might give you potential but Cotchery or Bersin might give you dependability. Whoever wins this spot might see the majority of their limited action in 3 or 4 receiver sets on 3rd down.  

Cotchery might start the season as the #2 and transition into this role later in the season.  Or the team might decide to go with Bersin or Hill from the start and save some cap space.  Either way there is a lot of time left to evaluate players before the final 53 is decided.  Someone like Byrd or Boykin might show out in the preseason games.

Thinking Bersin gets a hat over Hill because he went to Woford is laughable. Hill was on the PS last year and 31 other teams could have plucked him away. None of them did. I am not buying into the conspiracy that Jerry reserves roster spots for pets. This is ridiculous.

There are lots of guys that worked hard that haven't gotten the opportunities that Bersin has. We aren't saying that Bersin hasn't worked hard. Bersin is the guy that gets the interview because of who he knows. Doesn't mean he isn't qualified for the position, but under most circumstances a player doesn't get to hang around that long.

People in here arguing about Hill, Bersin, Cotchery and Philly LMAO, I wonder if any of them would even be in NFL rosters if it wasn't for the panthers.

 

Here's hoping Kelvin, Funchess, Olsen and Ginn are enough for the passing game to be successful

​You're including brown with Hill?? WTF

Brown, appears to be more than a steady part of the rotation by the Panthers. And rightfully so.

This.  Really only our top 3 WRs get significant run.  We rarely go 5 wide and when we go 4 wide, Olsen is one of the 4.  

I figured it'd be tough for Bersin to make the team simply because I thought we'd want our bottom of the roster WRs to be contributors on special teams.

I'm in the camp that Bersin as a reserve WR = totally acceptable.

Bersin as a PR = God-awful.

He won't be needed as a PR this year, only as a WR, and if he earns his spot in camp, he deserves it like anyone else.

He had 13 rec.  All year..

      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
