Patriots work out Brenton Bersin...

Now that Jerry Richardson no longer owns the Panthers, it appears Brenton Bersin’s scholarship there has expired.

But he has continued to look for work, away from his patron. According to Doug Kyed of NESN, Bersin worked out for the Patriots last week.

The wide receiver who grew up in Richardson’s neighborhood in Charlotte, and who perhaps coincidentally has spent parts of each of the last six seasons with the Panthers, no longer works there. (It had to be particularly sad for him not going to training camp at Wofford College this year, since he and Richardson shared an alma mater as well.)

I have a difficult time with the Richardson angle given the number of times (5) he was released and resigned. 

Looks like Hurney maybe finally brought in some real receiver competition such that he isn't actually one of better options we have at that part of the depth chart

I wish him the best of luck to be honest. While many here didn't like him and always wanted to bash him for his mistakes as a returner he really wasn't that bad of a receiver. He was pretty reliable whenever we absolutely had to have a catch for a  key 1st down to extend a drive on 3rd or 4th down. He obviously isn't a top receiver but he was always solid depth when we needed him.

I was guilty early on (pre-him cutting his hair) of ragging on him. 

Truth is, he was a hard worker and caught almost everything we needed him to catch. I was bummed not to see him in Wofford this year, but I understand why. 

If he doesn’t make a team this year he has a pretty nice back up plan!

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      Yes. Arm strength is a problem too, but his biggest problems are decision making and accuracy.

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      His work ethic may be a question mark, but I question his ethics in general. The way that he weighed in at the combine and the left immediately while everyone else was throwing. He knew he was conning someone

      When did I say top 3 picks? Talking about starters who were unsuccessful or sent packing from one team to find more success on another--- Goff? Carr? Geno Smith?  Darnold? Baker?  --heck, if you take those QBs alone (5) you are talking about over 15% of the league.  But you are looking at performance and I am looking at skill set and fit.  What you did not mention is the bust rate for the rookie qbs who are drafted.  Why is that?  Fit and, in my view, opportunity to develop. I know that it is easy to say, "I saw this on TV"  or "but he has only been good for a short amount of time"  well, this process is not a lifetime achievement award.  Darnold was here for a half season--did he ever show the success he did here as he has in Minnesota?  Nope.  So what is the difference?  FIT.  My point?  If Jones is a top 7 QB over the past 3 years when throwing from a clean pocket and here, we will have a top running back room (Hubbard and Brooks), a good young WR room, a good young developing TE, and a veteran, top 5 offensive line--those are the conditions that would make him throw from clean pockets.  That is all I am saying--did I give him a gold jacket?  I said it was risky.  So is drafting a QB.  I also mentioned other ways our team could improve. But you decide to put words in my mouth and then argue against those words.  Brilliant.
