Panthers OTA Notes - Week 2

I think you answered your own question.

Cotchery is about 90% a lock.  He's the only real WR veteran on the team (Ginn doesn't really count in that aspect as he's still learning the position in his own right).  It would be down right shocking if Bersin made it over Cotchery.

You cant be 90% a lock. You either are a lock or you aren't, and I don't believe cotchery is.

I don't think Bersin is the token Panther because he is from JR.s college.  I think he has been around long enough that he is more worthy than some of the bigger names.

 

If you are looking a good possession receiver.  I like Bersin.  Good hands, very reliable, great routes and is tall.

I have no idea who I think will be cut.  For the first time in many years.  Teams are going to be watching our cut list.  That seems odd to say.

If we had more competent talent at WR Bersin's best case scenario would be making it as the last WR who never sees the field during the season.  This is why I really hoped we would do more with the position.   I suppose as long as we lose Cotchery OR Bersin by the time the season starts, I can live with it though...  I was happy for BB making the team and all last season with his story, and he seems like a great guy, but he isn't very good. 

Also, as far as RB, I'm pretty sure I said it when we signed him, but Todman will absolutely make this team, and I could see him surpassing Fozzy when all is said and done.  It's kind of been a running joke here on the huddle, where anytime we would sign someone at RB, multiple people would say, "I think we've found our Darren Sproles."   Fozzy has been the closest to it, but I'm telling you,  I think Todman is the real deal in regards to being thscat-back we've been looking for.

If Bersin makes it, then that just confirms to me that Hill, Byrd, Cotchery and/or Boykin are on borrowed time. Funchess, Benjamin, Brown and Ginn are locks in my opinion. That's four spots already. We typically carry five receivers on game day.

maybe we can have someone who can play WR6, as well as backup QB and LT.

    • The Raiders have already shown enough interest in Jeanty that anyone after 6 that wants him and would trade up for him, will already be calling the Jags for a trade anyways. The only thing them signaling interest in Jeanty could do if their interest was to trade back, would be to bluff the Raiders into making a swap with them to add draft assets while still drafting whoever they are actually targeting.
    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
