Renfrow released

[Navy_football]

I don't know if he makes the 53, but I'm sure they'll try to bring back to PS to get his legs under him. 6 WRs makes more sense with so little on defense. Need to bring in some young guns to compete for ILB and FS.

Losing Renfrow because you cut him for a day or two instead of putting him on PUP is the most Tepper-era Panthers thing ever.

I mean, he's a free agent, if we want him and he wants to return, it's a done deal. He has the choice of date with any actual suitors.

It makes too much sense to bring Renfrow back, and that's why we'll do it.

It makes too much sense to bring Renfrow back, and that's why we won't do it. 

We're going to see what kind of GM and HC that we really have.

Why not bring him back now that AT is gone. He will have to miss 4 weeks,  but wont count against the 53 man roster. Give him some time to heal and be ready when  needed. With all the bluster about his playing from DC, you would think this is a no brainer, unless it was all bullshit.

They claimed a receiver off waivers.

Doesn't make Renfrow's return seem likely

That would be weird given you cant release injured players to begin with unless there is an injury settlement.

lol nah.  Some gymnastics here to do the standard Panthers have to be right……and that almost always goes wrong. 

it’s not a devastating health issue….when you get diagnosed and figure out what is wrong….and now feel good. 

Hunter Renfrow was not running a slant. They threw a slant.  That was the INT.  Renfrow was clearly setting up his cut.  Clear body language of that pick shows him setting it up. 

Renfrow is better than Moore.  Renfrow also does something no one else on this roster does….which this team lacks.   It’s standard Panthers being the Panthers.  Making easy hard 

Lol yeah, he was wide open on the slant for a first down and he's out there running a route that the QB who has been in the system for two years didn't see coming. This is doing the mental gymnastics where the Panthers have to be wrong. He is old, he is dealing with injuries because he has been out of football and other WRs out played him this preseason. As of now, it looks like no one is signing him, so there goes the theory of us regretting it. Every year there is a guy that you all latch on to and he gets released. Before all of his health problems, he was slightly above average and maybe the people who were watching him everyday and evaluating didn't see what you saw. And that was nothing more than him getting open in one on ones and a couple other catches. And you are right he did do something else no one on the 53 did and that was run the wrong route causing confusion and causing an interception.

I hope Renfrew comes back, but I doubt he does unless he doesn't have other offers.  Kind of seems bush league to cut a guy and then try to get him back, but this is the Panthers.  I suspect Renfrew isn't as great as us fans think because the people that watch him every day thought he was the 8th best WR on this team.  

[UnluckyforSome]

Didn't he miss a week or so of work? Availability is the best ability. Seems like every year there is a comeback story that never goes anywhere. Cohen was last season's version I think.

He was running an out and setting it up how he does it.  That's literally his game.  It's not debatable Renfrow was running an out. 

The QB threw a slant. 

Now, if you want to argue the hospital ball throwing, really bad QB who wouldn't land on any PS in the NFL isn't at fault? and the savvy Renfrow was out there running the wrong routes?  I mean, you can argue that. Seems to me the most likely answer is instead of Renfrow just fooling the DB, he also duped the really bad QB. 

It's not mental gymnastics to say the painfully bad organization is on a record run of bad decisions.....is once again, making bad decisions.  That's just taking the layup approach.  

Renfrow was pretty vocal about what he was doing with the comeback attempt.   It was a Carolina specific venture he was taking on because of the location.  He isn't looking to bounce around the NFL and play outside of Carolina. 

Renfrow clear as day is a better player than dudes they kept.  If it was just about WR talent.  But as I have repeatedly said after thinking about it for a day....Renfrow simply has no home in Dave Canales' offensive scheme.  He is a niche player.   And Dave isn't going to play that style of football.  Hunter's quirky get open quick niche isn't part of Dave's O. 

Run, run, chunk play downfield is Dave's O.  His entire tree is clear of how to play offense. Hunter Renfrow can cook Jaycee Horn all week on those short routes......Dave isn't calling an O that features what Hunter does.

According to Canales this was a lot about Renfrow saying he might not be up for it at the moment
