Selecting the 2016 Panthers Wide Receivers


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Here is the process you need to use to select the 2016 Carolina Panthers wide receivers corps. 

This process is based on five wide receivers being kept, as that 6th roster spot is desperately needed elsewhere. 

Ron Rivera learned a valuable lesson two years ago when the Panthers were loaded with larger slower receivers, they had way too many and it hurt the team. This forced Rivera to make roster changes mid season, something he hates doing. You can bet he has not forgotten that lesson. 

Since the two absolute locks (Benjamin and Funchess) are slower receivers, the Panthers will keep two faster receivers and only one additional slower possession type receivers. 

The X-Factor here is Stephen Hill, who has both the size and the speed (freak of nature). 

 

Therefore, to choose the remaining three... 

 

Step 1: Choose TWO of these players

Ted Ginn

Philly Brown

Stephen Hill

Damiere Byrd

Miles Shuler

Avarius Capers (just signed)

Step 2: Choose ONE of these players (obviously omit Hill if already chosen)

Stephen Hill 

Brenton Bersin

Kevin Norwood

Keyarris Garrett

Cobi Hamilton 

 

Follow these rules and tell me who you came up with.

I won't pretend to know but where does football IQ play in?

 

who's more smarter than the rest?

If that's the case the we get another year of Bersin, because apparently he absorbs everything as far as football IQ goes.

Too soon! Insufficient info! Do I take Ricky's praise of Byrd's improvement to a level where he bumps Brown? In group 2 has Hill really improved? He sure doesn't bump Ginn in group 1. In group 2 I don't know WTH these guys can do, other than Bersin. 

If forced to choose I'd have to go with the known quantities in group 1- Ginn and Brown, and I'll go out on a limb for group 2 and pick Garrett. At least he's proven he can catch the ball.

I think Corner and Safety get the extra roster love this year, and man do they need it. 

I don't disagree, just not sure if adding more fringe players will help that much. We actually ended the season with 6 WRs and 10 DBs, so it can be done.
