Article: Player Of The Game - Fly Like A Byrd


Saca312

Recommended Posts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd can fly. The Houston Texan’s defense learned that first-hand during the Carolina Panther’s first preseason game of 2017...

So, what did Byrd exactly do? Did he flash some good stuff? What are his chances of making the 53 and having a prominant role?

That and much more, in yours truly's first article:

Don't worry. I still promise to make a General Observational thread. That should have all the positives, negatives, and objective analysis many of you crave.

Or not. But I'll still make it.

I crave wins. Gimme those and I'll happily read gobbledygook.

Nice analysis and great column. I feel tit worth commenting on how nice that pocket was on the second TD. Webb had the guy in his face at the end but plenty of time to sit back and fire that pass, exactly the type of blocking that plays to the strengths of a guy like Byrd. Hope he can keep it up.

I'll also point out Taylor Moton stone-walled his guy. Think he may be giving Williams a run for his money if he keeps this play up.

Nice article, I enjoy reading your breakdowns and observations. You get a hard time around here from some posters for not being as objective as they would like, but I tend to be overly optimistic about the Panthers too and it doesn't bother me. Even if you see things through blue colored glass you still know a lot about football, and I always learn from reading your posts. Keep up the good work my man!

Thanks. The hard thing about being "objective" this year is that we actually have a ton of talent. I'd love to be able to point out negatives, but they're so few and far between.

The General Observations thread should be good for an objective look at a few people. But really, I'd let anyone else take up the challenge of finding a ton of negatives on some players on this team I've covered. You won't find much.

    • My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
    • His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
