​DeAndre Presley was signed even later than Hill, wasn't a WR in college, didn't participate any off season and beat him out for a roster spot when needed.

 

I heard funny story about Hill, rumor has it the jets knew we has terrible 2 weeks into OTA, apparently the UDFA rookies were out performing in practice, jets kept him on the roster not to look like complete fools for drafting him.

Hey man, it's fine if you have no faith in Hill ever catching on with the Panthers, but why are you making poo up? 

Pressly has been with Carolina since 2013.

If Brenton Bersin's sorry ass is number 4 on our depth chart entering the season, many people will be quite disappointed.  

If our biggest weakness on the team is our 4/5 receiver we are in pretty good shape.

When you factor in Olsen our 4/5 receivers will actually be 5/6 in team catches.  If we actually throw to our backs some they could be even lower.  Whoever gets those last roster spots will probably be lucky to have 30 receptions on the year.

If we assume that KB, Funchess, and Brown become our starting 3 that might only leave 2 roster spots active on game day.  Funchess might not start the season as a starter, since he is a rookie, but I think most of us expect or hope that is the case by later in the season.

I would think Ginn has a very good chance of making the team because of PR ability, so that leaves 1 game day roster spot.

With the last spot, who would you activate on game day? Cotchery, Hill, Bersin, or one of the other young guys.

Hill might give you potential but Cotchery or Bersin might give you dependability. Whoever wins this spot might see the majority of their limited action in 3 or 4 receiver sets on 3rd down.  

Cotchery might start the season as the #2 and transition into this role later in the season.  Or the team might decide to go with Bersin or Hill from the start and save some cap space.  Either way there is a lot of time left to evaluate players before the final 53 is decided.  Someone like Byrd or Boykin might show out in the preseason games.

Thinking Bersin gets a hat over Hill because he went to Woford is laughable. Hill was on the PS last year and 31 other teams could have plucked him away. None of them did. I am not buying into the conspiracy that Jerry reserves roster spots for pets. This is ridiculous.

There are lots of guys that worked hard that haven't gotten the opportunities that Bersin has. We aren't saying that Bersin hasn't worked hard. Bersin is the guy that gets the interview because of who he knows. Doesn't mean he isn't qualified for the position, but under most circumstances a player doesn't get to hang around that long.

People in here arguing about Hill, Bersin, Cotchery and Philly LMAO, I wonder if any of them would even be in NFL rosters if it wasn't for the panthers.

 

Here's hoping Kelvin, Funchess, Olsen and Ginn are enough for the passing game to be successful

​You're including brown with Hill?? WTF

Brown, appears to be more than a steady part of the rotation by the Panthers. And rightfully so.

This.  Really only our top 3 WRs get significant run.  We rarely go 5 wide and when we go 4 wide, Olsen is one of the 4.  

I figured it'd be tough for Bersin to make the team simply because I thought we'd want our bottom of the roster WRs to be contributors on special teams.

​Good lord.

Exactly how many teams 5th WR is "good"?

I'm in the camp that Bersin as a reserve WR = totally acceptable.

Bersin as a PR = God-awful.

He won't be needed as a PR this year, only as a WR, and if he earns his spot in camp, he deserves it like anyone else.

He had 13 rec.  All year..

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
