Well, if you aren't excited about Russell Shepard's potential on this team yet, you will be after seeing this.

Check out his NextGen stats:

So, Russell Shepard averaged 14.8 air yards per target and 11.7 per catch. He averaged 3.53 yards of separation lining up wide, leading all WRs who took 50% or more snaps lined up wide.

That's some nice looking stats. Shows Russell Shepard's route-running expertise, deep threat potential, and ability to gain separation well.

I've been pounding the table for Russell Shepard since we got him in March, and I think he will be a significant weapon this year. 

Don't sleep on Russell Shepard. Expect a lot of big things.

Maybe I just haven't been following it good enough, but it seemed like he hit the ground running early on in training camp... but I literally don't think I've heard hardly anything else about him this past week.  Basically ever since Cam stopped throwing.

He's still making great catches in space. It's actually become so routine that I started paying more attention to other receivers. Shepard is consistent and has great hands. In this offense, he has the potential to rack up the most yards. Think Ted Ginn with only 1/3 the drops and consistent separation. 

I'm very excited about the team's potential with him on it.

That's awesome, Route running and separation go hand in hand, but both were sorely missing last season. And our main deep threat is now in NO. This guy could be a hell of a pick up.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
