Brown, Boykin, Byrd?

Casual fans at Panthers training camp likely were excited to see wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess on Sunday afternoon. As it turns out, three lesser known receivers ended up stealing the show. 

Mike Brown, Jarrett Boykin, and rookie Damiere Byrd all had strong showings at Sunday's practice. 

Byrd could be this year's Corey Brown. Much like Brown last season, Byrd keeps making plays no matter what unit he is playing with. Today was no exception. Damiere hauled in multiple nice catches and even elevated to backup punt returner. Ted Ginn Jr has even taken the speedy Byrd under his wing. (terrible pun)

Mike Brown has been mostly absent this entire offseason. Today, however, he hauled in multiple long passes for large gains from Derek Anderson and Joe Webb. Brown is on the bubble with the Panthers, it is difficult to see where on the depth chart he fits in. A few more practices like today, however, and it may become less difficult.

Jarrett Boykin provided one of the most exciting plays of the day, catching a pass from Derek Anderson in stride under heavy pressure from corner Carrington Byndom and behind safety Robert Lester.

Cam Newton was so impressed with the Boykin effort he made sure to celebrate with him.

Brown, Boykin and Byrd. Three names to remember as Panthers training camp continues on.

If he keeps catching passes and punts, and can break one once in a while, he may be a keeper, and if so, that's more impressive this year than last. A lot more talent at WR now.

I think After KB, Funchess, Ginn, Brown, and BB it is between Boykin and Byrd. I do believe we carry 6 this year. I don't see Cotch making it. 

Cotchery is definitely making the team.  The coaches love him and he is great for helping the young guys along.

I know a lot of people on here are pro Bersin, but how can we keep Bersin on the roster when you've got guys like Byrd and Boykin who have such potential? We already know what you're getting with Bersin.

 

Kelvin

Funchess

Ginn

Brown

Cotchery

Boykin / Byrd (I want to see if he can take a hit.)

Going to be interesting to see which receivers get let go first.  The Buffalo game will be fun to watch for sure.  For some reason, I have this feeling that Cam will have the best season of his career this year and to do that he will need 2 of these WR's to step up.  Great pics as usual Jeremy.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
