This isn't personal.

Who cares? Again, that's pointless to this conversation. Rivera loved Fua too. Did that make him a good player? No. So being a 'favorite' means diddy squat to me.

I'd counter argue the same. You can type up as many points as you want but a turd is still a turd. If someone like Byrd has a better skill set then he deserves the spot over another possession receiver (we already have three in Benjamin, Funchess and Cotchery). 

Oh really? Seems like the only things that are "pointless to the conversation" are the ones that do not fit with your arguments about the guy.

Turd, Fua, really? Now you're just being absurd. Bersin may have struggled with returning punts when he was thrown into it out of the blue with little to no practice reps, but he is certainly a serviceable target in the passing game.

If Byrd makes the roster over Bersin, I will actually be pretty excited, because that would mean that Byrd is playing extremely well. That would only bode well for our franchise, and our fans. However, we're 5 days into training camp, and there is plenty left. But I'm not going to dump on either guy, because they are doing what they need to.

Kid is doing well in practice, but I want to see it in a game.  The preseason will go a long way to determine whether he is gonna be put on the 53 man roster or left on the practice squad.  I think the goal is for him to be on the practice squad because regardless he wont be used much this season, but if he looks great in the preseason games, then he likely won't make it to our practice squad without being picked up.  Only 9 more days till our first preseason game...god it can't get here fast enough.

I think there is to much time left in TC not to mention watching him in preseason when it counts to make any decisions on if he will be on the 53 man roster. I will say I hope he plays well at game time given his speed. In the words of Gman you cannot teach speed. Given his speed he could make a difference if he can master his trade.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      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.

      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.
