Return guy?

This is a position I’ve hardly heard anyone mention this far through camp.  Other than I believe @Zod mentioning Shi struggling to field punts on of the 1st days.

 

We have struggled here for several years as well.   Cooper was 16th in the NFL last year for us in PR avg with 5.8 yards per return

 

i don’t see CMC, DJ, Marshall, Robby, etc returning it.  So who will be the guy? If Shi is struggling to field the kicks,  maybe not him

David Moore?

T. Cannon, PR I think the team is looking for a way to get him on the 53 heard he has been working with the WR also and looking decent. 

Hubbard, KR has done it in the past and can also get him on the field because we all know CMC not coming out the game much.

PUNT RETURN
Starter: David Moore.

Reserve: Shi Smith.

Moore has gotten the majority of the returns in practice. He returned 12 punts for 111 yards in 2020 when he played for the Seahawks. He should fill the same role for the Panthers, who haven’t found a consistent returner in recent years.

KICK RETURN
Starter: Trenton Cannon.

Reserve: Shi Smith.

Cannon was one of the Panthers’ best special teams players in 2020. He returned 10 kicks for 298 yards, including a 98-yard return in 2020.

Smith’s experience at South Carolina returning punts and kicks should put him in a position to be a backup.

one day...the Panthers will just draft or bring in a guy that actually returns punts.  Sounds crazy.  But one day.  Maybe a hundred years from now.  They will figure that out. 

Returner is a liiiiiittle low on the list when rebooting a roster.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
