Would the Panthers need to make room to keep Damiere?

Fortunately, there's no need to make a decision right now. Yet I continue to believe that we're only going to carry 5 receivers, especially since I get the impression we want more receiving options with the tight ends.

If I had to guess the 5th receiver, it will be Norwood edging Byrd and Hill because KB/Funch can be legitimate deep threats when covered by shorter corners. That and they thought highly enough of Norwood to use a draft pick to get him. I'm still not sure what exactly they see in him but if he's showing flashes of what the team believes he can be, then he may have the edge. Seeing Byrd win the spot wouldn't surprise me either. I am inclined to say that Hill's knee may be his undoing and that would be disappointing.

Hill reminds me of David Gettis.

Gettis had better hands than Hill.

In fact, Gettis probably still has better hands than any of the receivers on the team.

The front office clearly does not value the ability to catch the ball from the WR position. Been 4 off seasons of this sub par WR garbage. I still watch highlights of 2013 to remember what it was like to have receivers that could catch the ball.

welp we have the least talented team in the league and it'll be a miracle if we win a game

i'm convinced

Byrd can make game changing plays, just a bigger tool in the box over the others IMO.

Must resist making joke about the double meaning of tool...

 

Seriously though, I'm pulling for that kid. You can never have too much speed.

You really are a miserable SOB. Gettis, the WR who got released by us, the Redskins, Buccaneers and Winnipeg Blue Bombers without recording a catch had better hands than any of the 2016 WRs? You fondly remember 2013 whose top 4 WRs were Smith, Olsen, LaFell and Ginn? Well, we still have Olsen and Ginn and I'd rather have Benjamin and Funchess than Smith and LaFell just based on LaFell being hot garbage. Only you would be down on the 2016 WRs.

Who is your favorite team? It's gotta be the Patriots since you bring them up a lot and no one other than a 2014 Pats fan would be fond of LaFell and only you would then ignore him falling apart again in 2015.

With his response I *finally* remember why CPK is such a bitter little pissant and irrational Gettleman-hater...

He's a Smitty fanboy.

QED.

Damiere has proven he deserves to be on this team. if he has even an above average preseason he needs to be the final WR. I say with feelings that I really wish Garrett would pan out and make the team as well.  I feel Hill and garrett with eventually be placed on the PS and probably taken by some sorry team which will most likely result in nothing.  Damiere should strive to help us out in the return game as his agility and speed is idol for PR and KR. Which will also help reserve Ginn's health.  My final WR would be: KB, Funch, Ginn, Philly, and Byrd.  I've hoped and prayed for Hill but im lost for words with him as of late (I know his been injured)

Look, I am on the Byrd train as much as anyone, and I hope that he does justify his hype during the games, but let's not forget about Norwood. He has had a solid camp by all accounts. I wouldn't think that Byrd and Norwood are specifically fighting for the same job, as their skill sets seem too different, but you never know.
