Brenton Bersin continues to impress

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

some of you need to free yourselves of this bizarre mentality that some rando is going to come in to OTAs or camp and just be handed a roster spot over another guy who is entrenched at his spot on the depth chart and is liked by the quarterback and has some chemistry with him because he's faster or more "talented" or whatever.  maybe if he lights camp and the preseason on fire but that's not really that common for an UDFA/late round prospect and that's being generous.

you want to know what happens to guys who come in to the league fast, big, running great routes, and catching everything that gets near them?  they get drafted in the first round.  everybody that's fighting for a 4th or 5th spot on a wide receiver depth chart has some kind of deficiency.  in bersin's case it's because he's not particularly athletic or fast but he can catch, he runs solid routes, and our $100 million franchise quarterback likes throwing to him.  i think that gives him a leg up on a guy who's just fast or just talented or just has "upside".

take it up with rowboat ron.  or if you think it's jer bear's fault then quit lining his pockets by watching the panthers.

​Damn, I forgot to put Brown in there.

Well, to update it then..

Benjamin - #1

Funchess - #2

Brown - #3

Ginn #4

Bersin #5

Cotchery or Byrd for #6

I don't really see that Cotchery makes it unless he absolutely balls out in camp/preseason. We need all the speed we can get.

We are pretty damn stacked at WR, I don't understand what there is to bitch about exactly.

Stacked?  No, definitely not.  Bersin has zero chance to earn a roster spot on a stacked WR roster.  I can understand why fans think it's stacked though.  We look like we may actually have the talent pool to field a legit NFL WR corps here in Carolina for the first time in a looooooong time.  But stacked?  No.

[WOW!!]

​Dont give answers yet..do your research like you wanted to..you are going to have to give a reasonable number of examples in order to make a valid point.

They both were in the 3rd 4th 5th Wr range and had better  numbers..

I think you're applying a context to that word that was not my intention.

Not stacked as in top within the league. Stacked in terms of compared to what we have had at times since Newton first arrived.

Were we worried about having roster spots to fit all our WR's around this time last year?

I just can't get into that.  Nah, just can't see it.  I'll be very surprised if he is on the 53 man roster.  But, I've been wrong a couple of times before.  Well, several times before.

[WOW!!]

It is light years ahead of last years group without a doubt. We paid cam big money. Give him the best and most diverse options on the field as possible. This is his offense.

 

honestly I don't want cotchery on the field

Just a question...  Who would you rather see get playing time.. Bersin Cotchery Byrd Hill or Boykins.. 

I rather see Hill or Byrd... 

Just do

I don't know because there all playing in shorts and no pads. Byrds speed is intriguing but it ends there for right now. We need to see preseason games to get a better picture

if hill can't beat out bersin in camp and the preseason he's not going to get playing time

that's obstacle number one dude.  if he can't get past that then it's not going to happen barring injuries or something.

[WOW!!]

But you can have a idea of what you hope to have in a 4th and 5th Wr..  Do you want a possession guy or a potential game breaker?

You are assuming they are game breakers before ever seeing them catch a pass as a Panther. Why? If any prove to be that then great. You've already decided though based on just hope. 

[WOW!!]

This is what I  want from my 4th and 5th Wr on the roster.. 

1. Special teams ace.. 

2. A specialist you can design plays and packages for.. 

3. A spot starter

4. A young development  player with skill sets to become a future starter.. 

 

Who on our roster fits any of these ccategories  best should make the team..

Speed and or size can't be taught..  Route running and developing  better hands can be... 

[csx]

Basically your only hope is Byrd.

​In a perfect nfl world, yes you would want that. but there are other teams that would be making the same mistake you claim the panthers would be making if bersin was somehow to make the team yet again...
