Kris Durham made me think of our golden-haired boy (for obvious reasons).

Kris Durham, a.k.a. White Chocolate, is making a little noise since being activated off the practice squad in Motown.  He made me think of Brenton Bersin. Is Bersin that bad that we couldn't have activated him off the practice squad when we released Armanti Edwards?  I mean, he did seem to have a little something in training camp and preseason. We have signed him to the PS a couple of times. Durham was a PS guy that some thought would never see the light of day, but has come on and had solid production the last couple of weeks with Megatron on the mend. With Lester coming off the practice squad and doing a good job, is it not conceivable to think that  the coaches have Bersin buried on the PS while Hixon and  a newly acquired McNutt ride the pine.  I wonder what gives with Bersin.  He probably knew the offense better than Hixon before Hixon was acquired, and he certainly has to know it better than McNutt.  Is he just PS material, or is he being overlooked because of a lack of perceived athleticism in regards to the other guys?

I, I uh, I um, how do it put this?....I can't say I have ever seen anything out of Bersin.  His mom and dad were nice to meet at TC but I can't say why he is even on the practice squad.

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

So, why is he here then?  For the second year in a row? G-man is supposed to be the Godfather talent evaluator.  Sometimes the answer is on the roster, huh? Is Bersin that useless?

I'm on your side as far as Panther fans go, but regarding Bersin, your guess is as good as mine.  He looked like hot garbage at Wofford and my only guess is he went and got Jerry a cold beer one time at a neighborhood cookout in 2003.

Well, damn. That explains a lot then. That dashes my expectations, little as they were.

Yep, there was a story about it last season. About his dreams coming true playing for his favorite team growing up, attending games in Richardson's box...etc

He's a practice squad player.

It's not a big deal.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
