He’s our true #2. Doesn’t mean we have an up to par wideout unit. 

I agree he should be our #2 WR over Shepard. Im just saying he is not a true #2 WR. We have a weak WR core, so he is forced to be #2 because we don't have much to challenge him.

More time hopefully equals more chemistry with Cam. We know he has speed and his hands looked great today so maybe he can develop into what we need him to be.

 

Say what you will about the others but Funch has been balling out and I’ll eat my crow on that one.

We still dont have a #2 WR until we get a reliable deep threat , or get someone thats a great route runner with excellent hands. 

That being said, all our WRs had at least decent games today. Didnt see as many drops as i did in previous games and Bersin had a monster catch.

My dawg

Just give him time. He’s always had the ability and he’s a natural hands catcher which is a HUGE plus with this group.

Byrd was really only a one route guy coming from college but he’s a smooth athlete. He’s added weight and has made huge progress in his route tree ability. 

In a perfect world Byrd would be the perfect number 3 but instead he’ll need to step up and be a 2. I really hope we target a Davante Adams or Paul Richardson (Calvin Ridley would be my ideal but doubt he’s there when we pick) this offseason so it would allow Byrd to the slot.

I found it interesting they had Byrd running mostly shorter routes today. Seems to me that he would be a better deep threat target than Clay who i saw downfield a couple times.

I've been in the "umm, Byrd really hasn't done anything yet" camp since everyone started shouting his praises last year.

Today, I think my opinion changed quite a bit. I think he found the competitive spirit he's going to need to make it as a small, speedy receiver. He certainly outplayed the other receivers that weren't named Funchess on our team. Heck, start him as WR2 next week and turn him loose. If he can do as much or more, then yahoo!!!

He sure outperformed Clay, and let's just let Shepard stay on the bench. Byrd looks like he's seen there's a big opening in the roster for a guy who can try hard.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
