People act like this dude is a stud. He is taking up a roster spot for someone who has more tools and more talent.  He  wouldnt make 95% of teams rosters today. He can't get separation and he doesn't have speed. He is a great story to tell and he wont be missed. He doesnt even play special teams anymore, because his IQ couldnt handle when to leave a ball to bounce or slide after it like he is in a baseball game.

I want those 10-20 reception going to a person  who might can take it to the hhouse.. Jmo

​Who doesnt want a guy that can take it to the house?  They arent that common and they usually arent WR4s.  The problem is that the WRs have to be able to catch the ball before they can take it the house, so that makes it tough to just pick the fast guy.

Don't know why it matters so much that a 3rd string WR make the team or not. And then again, there is a Bersin in every franchise. It makes the fans happy, I guess.

No team in the league keeps a player on roster just to "make fans happy".

Only an idiot would believe that.

​Saw a lot of comments just like that about him last year. That dude keeps tripping on his own foot once on the field. Last year should have been the year to step up when we needed receivers the most.

Considering that he made the roster for the first time, made some key catches, and held his own in the punt returner job (which he has no business doing in the future), I'd say he stepped up relative to his role.

If he's good enough to make it this year, good for him.  If someone like Hill or Byrd shows enough to supplant him, then the team is better for it.  The fact that this thread is about to hit 20 pages over a potential fourth or fifth string WR is baffling when camp is still a month away.

Regarding Bersin:

Every team's situation is unique but looking around the league, the guys in comparable depth situations are like Bernard Weedy, Junior Hemmingway, DeVier Posey, Marc Mariani...even with some better teams, you're looking at Jeff Janis, Kevin Norwood, Matt Slater, Kamar Aiken, etc.  (Even for fantasy buffs: there are some names you've probably never heard of) 

 

For the Panthers: Out of 177 receptions by wideouts last year, Bersin had 13. 

 

RECEPTIONS

 

1-KB (73)

2-Cotchery (48)

3-Brown (21)

4-Avant (21 before released)

 

--Then you had:

5-Bersin (13)

6-Webb (1)

 

Now, factor in:

-KB maintaining/increasing looks

-Funchess being our 2nd option, higher looks than Cotchery IMO, ridiculous ceiling

-Brown's role should likely increase given what we hear is the coach's positive perception of him and how they used him last year

 

So...That could easily be around 85%+ of our receptions especially given Brown kinda moved into Avant's role when he left.  If Bersin does well, he could get around 20 reception IMO (25-30 would be generous).  The situation with Cotchery, Bersin, Byrd, Hill and Boykin is a good one and it will give us a decent 4th/5th option to place along with Brown and Ginn.  But bigger picture wise, it's a very minimal role anyways.   

 

Out of those 13 receptions people are basing him off of last year, 2 were pretty good 3rd down conversions.  I distinctly remember one being a nice leaping grab on a high thrown crossing route...he's actually more athletic than will be credited for.  He sucked balls on PRs but that was a weird situation all around with STs.

So like said if Hill or Byrd can develop into that or show they can do that..  That's what I want..  If they can't then we're stuck with Bersin again and hopefully get that player next year...

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
