Good Artilce from Panthers.com about Ryne and what he did all last season.. i hope that he can become the PR/KR we all hope he can be.. this will be a huge year for Ryne and Jarrett to see if they truly will be what we expect them to be..

OVER/UNDER:

Ryne take 1 to the house in 09

Ryne makes us forget about Mark Jones by week 3

Jarrett catches 50 balls for 750 yds

Jarrett catches 3 redzone touchdowns

what about Mark Jones? I thought he done a preety good job returnuing kicks last year.

Oh I loved Jones this year, and think he did a fantastic job. Very solid and smart with the ball... although he's certainly not the speediest returner in the NFL...

It never hurts to have some competition and I want to see what Robinson can do at WR... it also doesn't hurt to have more than one option at any position.

From what I remember, Ryne was having an awesome camp last year, and had a good chance to play more at WR, so I don't see him getting cut unless the Panthers draft a 1st or 2nd round WR.

I know everybody is high on Jones, but I still believe Robinson is just as good, or maybe a better return man than him.

the thing is i just dont wont a KR/PR i want a guy that can get out there as a WR

i agree. and between rhyne, and jones. rhyne is deff the better reciever which i think will give him the edge if they have to fight for the roster spot.

this is a lil off topic but does anyone know if uncs brandon tate entered the draft or not? this guys a realy good KR/PR and wasnt too bad at reciever either. he was kinda over shadowed by hakeem nicks that why i dont think u hear alot of people talking about him. if he did enter the draft he could be a good pickup in a late round to battle for a position

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
