Would the Panthers need to make room to keep Damiere?

Damiere has picked up the pace the last two practices, making more plays than Stephen Hill at this point. Hill has started dropping passes again, unfortunately. 

So will the Panthers need to make cuts to veteran receivers to keep Damiere around? I am not so sure.

No we don't have to cut a vet WR. We can keep 6. If Hill is back to dropping passes and it continues in preseason, it's time to give up on him. Let Bersin, Garrett, and Byrd battle for the #5 and #6 spots.

At this point, I am not sure Garrett is even in the conversation to be on the practice squad. He hasn't looked good at all.

I like those five. Too bad Hill seems to have regressed. Maybe the injury, kept him from focusing on his catching. Hopefully, we can keep Garrett on the practice squad and develop him. Maybe next year, he could fill Ginn's spot to give us another outside threat.

Can't believe Hill is an afterthought after being so highly talked about all offseason and last week during the first few days of camp.

What gives?

Byrd apparently started camp poorly and has finally put together a couple good days. Happy for him, but I don't see why he is an option over Hill at this juncture.

Ultimately we need the games to be played to see who the pretenders are.

Probably because he's dropped a couple (with a history of the dropsies), and come up a little gimpy due to that really bad knee injury. So his pass catching and leg health are still in question.

Am I the only one who believes Kevin Norwood's skill set slots nicely between Big Beasts (KB and Funch) and Speed Racers (Ginn and Philly)?

I was hoping we'd draft Norwood out of Bama. Kid impressed me in colllege. He hasn't had much of a shot in the NFL the last few years but so far this training camp I've been impressed again.  Like I said in another thread, he reminds me of a stronger, younger, faster Cotchery. And, to me, that would be a valuable asset to this WR corps.

Norwood definitely is not out of the running yet. Has made some decent plays in camp. Byrd has just performed better, imo.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
