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...

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
