Pharoh Cooper Appreciation Thread

I just want to point out, when was the last time the Panthers dedicated a position on the team to a good return man? 2008 with Mark Jones? The return position seemed especially de-valued under Rivera. The last time I saw a competent return game from the Panthers was 2017 when Christian McCaffrey was handling punts because he was a rookie. 

Pharoh Cooper has been solid so far and has shown potential to maybe break a TD or two at some point this year. I'm excited the position was finally given some attention this offseason, instead of throwing random fumble prone castoffs like Ray Ray McCloud at the position.

Cooper has looked solid.  Solid is as bar rarely achieved in Carolina's return game.

I'm really happy with Cooper. Still hold my breath a bit with him back there though due to his past issues with muffs/fumbles, but so far he's been great for us. Has added a bit of a return threat and has been steady with taking care of the ball so far (though I think he did have 1 muff in the first 2 games that went out of bounds luckily).

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
