Listen up! There are exactly two "safe" Panthers receivers.

This may be the best WR competition we have had in the past 10 years at TC.

[Servant of Cthululelei]

Sure, some players are more likely to make the squad, like Ginn and Cotchery, but you cannot say with the same certainty that they will be here like you can with Kelvin and Devin 

 

 

Can we just call Kelvin and Devin.... Delvin ?

 

 

Delvin Benchess.  We may have finally found a rival for King McNuttatron.

[Rubi]

I would say Ginn is a lock. He gives you at least 10 yards of field position on punt returns

[t96]

What if Byrd shows he can do returns?

 

Like Philly and Bersin?

[IamSoClutch]

I think the 4 receiver's will be :

Ginn

Cotch

Philly

Hill

[Bartin]

What if Byrd shows he can do returns?

He never returned kicks in college. Zero chance we throw a guy straight into the fire like that as a rookie when he has no actual game experience as a returner. Down the line or next year it would be a possibility, but barring a lot of injuries Byrd will not be the week 1 PR.

[Mr. Scot]

Like Philly and Bersin?

 

No.  What if he really can do returns?  With his speed?

 

[Cary Kollins]

Hopefully with all these options when Shula reaches into his hat for a play call he doesn't end up with "BERSIN WR1" like he did at Seattle in the playoffs.

[Mr. Scot]

As opposed to Bersin?

 

At heart, it's still just catching the ball and running.  The only part he'd have to learn is the decision making aspect.

KB

Funch

Cotch

Ginn

Boykin

Hill

Philly/Byrd

[hepcat]

Unless Ginn can't fly anymore he's definitely making it as a returner and deep threat. Cotchery has a good chance, but could see him cut as well. My guess is they keep Ginn, Cotchery, Corey Brown, and Boykin

[Bartin]

As opposed to Bersin?

 

At heart, it's still just catching the ball and running.  The only part he'd have to learn is the decision making aspect.

 

 

Bersin got put in there due to injuries and Philly not doing a great job. That also did not work out too well as you might remember which will surely be in the front of the minds of the coaches and front office.

[t96]

No.  What if he really can do returns?  With his speed?

 

 

He didn't have a single career return in college, what makes you think he'll all of a sudden be able to consistently field punts and have the field vision to return them. Ginn is proven.

Of those, who is PS eligible?
