Damiere Byrd back at it...

From Max Henson of Panthers.com

 

Wide receiver Damiere Byrdicon-article-link.gif picked up right where he left off. Two days after Byrd caught two touchdown passes in the preseason opener, quarterback Joe Webbicon-article-link.gif targeted the speedster in the back of the end zone during a red zone drill, and Byrd came down with an impressive contested catch against safety Kurt Colemanicon-article-link.gif.
 

 

Damiere has a ton of momentum going for him right now. Going to be very difficult for Duke or Ross to overtake him.

A very good point made here:

Like he did with his 8-yard touchdown grab versus Houston, Byrd again proved he can be a factor on short and intermediate routes – not just the deep shots he’s known for.

“If you can open up underneath quickly, you’re going to cause defenses to react a certain way,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “Guys like that, that’s what you try to find.”

Notice on his second touchdown he gets a ton of separation going horizontally:

That's what you want to see. Not just separation going vertical and down deep, but the ability to go horizontal and separate from corners. 

That allows you to be a vital intermediate threat and shows quickness around the field. Now, I don't know how he'll do in the 0-5 yard area, but he does show good stuff.

      Ohio State no. 8 won it all last year.  No. 6 Penn State and no. 7 Notre Dame advanced to the semi-final. This year no. 7 Ole Miss is going to win it all.

      agreed.  Lack of games/opportunity makes him a non-factor in OROTY talk.  He is just now getting the stage where there is legit film on him.  Takes awhile to really see how guys react to all the different scenarios and to find the real weak spots on a QB's play in an O.

      Oh boy how the tables have turned...the passion and extent at which you defend Shough would make even the staunchest Bryce fanboys blush.  The bold part is especially straight from their playbook.  Even if someone here were to withhold giving Shough props, it's pretty understandable as a Panthers fan.  What's quite odd is becoming the biggest stan of our most hated rival's starting QB.  I don't think even Saints fans drool over him this hard. For the record I think this talk about "stans" and "fanboys" is cringe AF and I'm admittedly being rather hyperbolic because this is exactly the kind of discourse and language you personally love to engage in and it's fun to play in the mud from time to time.  There is absolutely no world where you do not meet your own criteria of a "Super Stan" for Shough with how loosely you apply that label to people for Bryce in here.  You're like the Final Boss of Super Stans.
