The battle for the #3 wr

[Seltzer]

I hope Ginn can become the #3 WR b/c he is the only receiver we have on the team that truly has the speed to take the top off of a defense.  I think of the receivers that left after the 2013 Season (Smitty, LaFell, Ginn, Hixson), Ginn was the only one I think the Panthers truly wanted to keep.

Obviously, you saw how downhill our return game went last year (though in fairness it wasn't just the returner- the blocking and coverage sucked).  But beyond being just a premier returner, for whatever reason Ginn has more of a connection with Newton than any other QB he's played with.

Ginn as the #3 allows the Panthers to do a lot more schematically than the other choices. Ginn's speed prevents constant 8 man boxes which allows the threat of Newton running to be that much more dangerous.

Why do you think the Panthers were so willing to give Stephen Hill a chance?  The Panthers tried to use Corey Brown in that position last year out of necessity, but to me, I see Brown best playing the role Hixson did in 2013 as the #4 WR.

I still think Cochery ends up as the #5 WR due to his veteran leadership and presence.  Beyond that, I am intrigued by Damiere Byrd like a lot of the rest of you, but I think the Panthers will be able to stash him on the PS.  If they do keep 6 WR's, I wouldn't be opposed to them keeping Byrd b/c the 6th WR is mostly inactive, and I honestly don't see why the Panthers would keep Bersin, Boykin, or anyone else over Byrd given his upside.  I guess the only thing Bersin and Boykin have working in their favor in ST ability.

Kevin, Devin, and Philly will be top 3 with Devin and Philly interchangeable. 4 will be Bersin because he is a very reliable sure handed possession reciever. Ginn will be 5 because big play possibility and Cotchery possibly kept at the bottom of the roster

Leaving out Bersin automatically makes you wrong. There is no way he doesnt make the team. No way Byrd makes it over him

I dont think itll be set in stone. Betting ginn and brown basically split snaps at 3rd wr. Might even see brown occasionally sub in for kelvin or devin in certain situations.

You lost me on the first comment.  Brown is nearly as fast as Ginn.  I would also venture to say that Brown is a better route runner too.  

I agree part of the reasons for Hill hanging around was his speed.

I think with Proehl as our WR coach the "Veteran Leadership" is not as necessary as a team without a coach like him.  I would rather listen to a Vet/Coach of 20+ years over a journeyman WR with 6 or 7 years. 

If Cotchery makes it....he makes it because he is a better receiver than the others.  Keeping him as a vet IMO makes no sense.

That shift button is tricky

Byrd definitely looked pretty good Friday.

 

Ginn should win the #3 certainly but I want to see a lot of Corey Brown too.

We want philly

I guess I don't see it.
