Panthers already have 5 locks at wide receiver, and Byrd ain't one of them.

Why is Torrey Smith considered such a lock? He is not fast anymore. He was well below the league average last year for average max speed for wide receivers. One could argue not only is he not fast, he is now slow. Was Torrey ever really known for his hands?

Because they see the field.

 When? When does a 3rd TE play? We bring in an extra OT(Moton last year) when we need extra run blocking. Armah at FB. Thomas is #2 already. You really keeping Manhertz(or similar player) over one that can be a weapon at least 3-4 times a game?

If for no other reasons than they traded for him and he's obviously a better receiver than Bryd.

I want to be in the fantasy league of anyone wanting Damiere Byrd over Smith.

We kept 6 receivers last year, why are some of you acting like it's some difficult thing to do. 

KB / Funch / Shepard / Samuel / Byrd / Clay 

If memory serves were the six that we ended up with to close out the final 53, and eventually Bersin returned due to injury. 

We kept 4 HB's last year, and CAP barely played, Whit got a couple touches, I could see us dropping CAP, and keeping Hood on the PS with Barner as the 3rd back on the depth chart. But again we kept four HB's and six receivers out of camp last year.

Stew / CMC / CAP / Whit

I could also see an immediate free space due to the fact WE CLOSED CAMP WITH TWO KICKERS!

The numbers game to keep Byrd's ability around isn't a hard one to sort is all I'm saying, I think he's a lock, no one behind him is dynamic in any way we've seen .

That trade was hogwash. The Eagles would've gave him away for nothing. Pretty much both teams saying, "here, we don't want this guy anymore." Fantasy!?!? News flash - no one in any fantasy league SHOULD want either one of these guys! Both are irrelevant in that world.

It bothers me that we'd rather try and squeeze the last ounce of talent out of Torrey Smith instead of making an investment in Byrd who IMO has proven to be a play maker with game changing speed who could be a piece of our roster for the next 3-4 seasons and not just 1.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
