I don't have the slightest clue why Bersin didn't make the roster. He had the most sure hands of any WR in the preseason. He had a better season last year then Norwood (and knows the playbook, as well), and surely could match the very little Philly did last week. He doesn't drop many passes and isn't as slow as he is made out to be. He'd be a nice compliment to Cotchery and Funchess. The only reason Bersin catches so much poo is because people just assume he is only on the team because he one of the owner's favorites, and not because he can, unlike half our WRs, actually catch the ball.

I think they believed Philly would get over his slump.

But he only had one catch I can recall last game, and today's practice news isn't encouraging either.

Also on that note he is not under any more pressure to return punts which is important for our and his sanity.

Brown didnt have any drops so Im not sure what this is about. Ginn on the otherhand had 2. Im not in favor of making changes based on 1 game. I am in favor of seeing more Funchess and Norwood.

I think most people are looking at this based on everything since training camp, including recent practices. Not just game 1.

let's give Philly some more time guys, I trust Bersin's hands but have no idea if he consistently would be able to get open

here is an idea....how about don't put either Philly or Bersin on the field. 

Get Funchess and Norwood on the field.  Sprinkle in some Ginn speed in some packages.  Rotate Cotchery in with them to give them breaks. 

and most importantly, run legit two TE sets and if Brandon Williams can't do it...then quit having him make the roster.  He is a physical freak that we keep bringing back and never use.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
