one day...the Panthers will just draft or bring in a guy that actually returns punts.  Sounds crazy.  But one day.  Maybe a hundred years from now.  They will figure that out. 

Hell, we burned a 6th on a long snapper, why the heck not?

True.  TBF I'm not sure I'd feel great with our punt returner being a 6th round rookie. LS, not so worried.

My guess is Moore.  He averaged something like 9 yrds a return last year for Seattle.

Returner is a liiiiiittle low on the list when rebooting a roster.

3 phases in the game.  And we have been talking about PR for over a decade.   And I’m not talking about having to get a Devin Hester….but we generally are praying we don’t turn it over.   

Joe Adams was the last actual attempt to solve it in the draft.  That is just life.  They don’t all hit.  The kid from Utah worked out pretty good for us though.

Honestly, our punt returner(s) didn't get much work last season. I sure hope that has changed.

Still, you'd think by this point we'd be seeing something about an unsung player making moves to be the returner. Just hearing crickets chirp at the moment.

Amen. We went two games at least without fielding a punt. Embarrassing.

Drafted, sure, but free agency has been a part of it as well. Ted Ginn Jr was brought in the year after Joe Adams was drafted, and while he wasn't called for return duty in 2014 & 2015, he did return to the job in 2016.

According to some Huddlers, CMC was a returner drafted in the top 10 lmao

2018 + 2019 was just like 2014 + 2015 in the by committee approach, but Pharoh Cooper was brought in to do returns and Trenton Cannon was also getting opportunities.

I think we'll see Trenton Cannon pulling return duty this upcoming season along with Shi Smith. Shi, despite training camp reports not giving the warm fuzzies in regards to his return ability, has plenty of it from his time at SCar.

Shi returned some kicks in college but never returned punts

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
