Why isn't Damiere Byrd getting any play time?

Brenton Bersin has been cut and resigned this year and has no receptions for us in 2016, yet was active against Tampa Bay. Ted Ginn is dead last in the league in punt return average, has hands of stone, and makes you hold your breath every time they throw it anywhere near him. Why not give Byrd a shot?

We went an entire game and didn't even throw it at KB... why do we need Byrd?

 

I think his point was special teams but necessarily running routes.  Our special teams return units have been a dumpster fire all season.  Byrd showed serious promise in the preseason.  Speed alone was eye opening. 

What also surprises the hell out of me is, and maybe im wrong but have been to every home game and watched  every minute of away games, when was the last time we threw a running back or wide receive screen.  Something quick and simple to get the ball out of the QB's hands with all this tidal wave of a pass rush coming at Cam/DA?

Actually, I'd like to see Byrd, and more of Brown.  I do believe that Byrd is shiftier and outright faster, but Brown is quick.  As the third and fourth receiver (excluding Olsen), I think that they could really be useful in our passing attack. Ginn seems to be just taking up space at the moment. Funchess should have been getting those snaps as far as I'm concerned.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
