Article: Player Of The Game - Fly Like A Byrd


Saca312

Recommended Posts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd can fly. The Houston Texan’s defense learned that first-hand during the Carolina Panther’s first preseason game of 2017...

So, what did Byrd exactly do? Did he flash some good stuff? What are his chances of making the 53 and having a prominant role?

That and much more, in yours truly's first article:

Don't worry. I still promise to make a General Observational thread. That should have all the positives, negatives, and objective analysis many of you crave.

Or not. But I'll still make it.

I crave wins. Gimme those and I'll happily read gobbledygook.

Nice analysis and great column. I feel tit worth commenting on how nice that pocket was on the second TD. Webb had the guy in his face at the end but plenty of time to sit back and fire that pass, exactly the type of blocking that plays to the strengths of a guy like Byrd. Hope he can keep it up.

I'll also point out Taylor Moton stone-walled his guy. Think he may be giving Williams a run for his money if he keeps this play up.

Nice article, I enjoy reading your breakdowns and observations. You get a hard time around here from some posters for not being as objective as they would like, but I tend to be overly optimistic about the Panthers too and it doesn't bother me. Even if you see things through blue colored glass you still know a lot about football, and I always learn from reading your posts. Keep up the good work my man!

Thanks. The hard thing about being "objective" this year is that we actually have a ton of talent. I'd love to be able to point out negatives, but they're so few and far between.

The General Observations thread should be good for an objective look at a few people. But really, I'd let anyone else take up the challenge of finding a ton of negatives on some players on this team I've covered. You won't find much.

    • I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10
    • No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.  
    • You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
