People act like this dude is a stud. He is taking up a roster spot for someone who has more tools and more talent.  He  wouldnt make 95% of teams rosters today. He can't get separation and he doesn't have speed. He is a great story to tell and he wont be missed. He doesnt even play special teams anymore, because his IQ couldnt handle when to leave a ball to bounce or slide after it like he is in a baseball game.

I want those 10-20 reception going to a person  who might can take it to the hhouse.. Jmo

​Who doesnt want a guy that can take it to the house?  They arent that common and they usually arent WR4s.  The problem is that the WRs have to be able to catch the ball before they can take it the house, so that makes it tough to just pick the fast guy.

Don't know why it matters so much that a 3rd string WR make the team or not. And then again, there is a Bersin in every franchise. It makes the fans happy, I guess.

No team in the league keeps a player on roster just to "make fans happy".

Only an idiot would believe that.

​Saw a lot of comments just like that about him last year. That dude keeps tripping on his own foot once on the field. Last year should have been the year to step up when we needed receivers the most.

Considering that he made the roster for the first time, made some key catches, and held his own in the punt returner job (which he has no business doing in the future), I'd say he stepped up relative to his role.

If he's good enough to make it this year, good for him.  If someone like Hill or Byrd shows enough to supplant him, then the team is better for it.  The fact that this thread is about to hit 20 pages over a potential fourth or fifth string WR is baffling when camp is still a month away.

Regarding Bersin:

Every team's situation is unique but looking around the league, the guys in comparable depth situations are like Bernard Weedy, Junior Hemmingway, DeVier Posey, Marc Mariani...even with some better teams, you're looking at Jeff Janis, Kevin Norwood, Matt Slater, Kamar Aiken, etc.  (Even for fantasy buffs: there are some names you've probably never heard of) 

 

For the Panthers: Out of 177 receptions by wideouts last year, Bersin had 13. 

 

RECEPTIONS

 

1-KB (73)

2-Cotchery (48)

3-Brown (21)

4-Avant (21 before released)

 

--Then you had:

5-Bersin (13)

6-Webb (1)

 

Now, factor in:

-KB maintaining/increasing looks

-Funchess being our 2nd option, higher looks than Cotchery IMO, ridiculous ceiling

-Brown's role should likely increase given what we hear is the coach's positive perception of him and how they used him last year

 

So...That could easily be around 85%+ of our receptions especially given Brown kinda moved into Avant's role when he left.  If Bersin does well, he could get around 20 reception IMO (25-30 would be generous).  The situation with Cotchery, Bersin, Byrd, Hill and Boykin is a good one and it will give us a decent 4th/5th option to place along with Brown and Ginn.  But bigger picture wise, it's a very minimal role anyways.   

 

Out of those 13 receptions people are basing him off of last year, 2 were pretty good 3rd down conversions.  I distinctly remember one being a nice leaping grab on a high thrown crossing route...he's actually more athletic than will be credited for.  He sucked balls on PRs but that was a weird situation all around with STs.

So like said if Hill or Byrd can develop into that or show they can do that..  That's what I want..  If they can't then we're stuck with Bersin again and hopefully get that player next year...

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
