Just imagine how bad you have to be in practice to not earn more of a role in last years offense as the only guy on the whole unit with any sort of speed. And while he had a couple nice punt returns, there were so many that I just had to close my eyes because he fielded a punt he should have fair caught and got blasted as the ball hit his hands.

I'm not really trying to be an asshole, but I think more than a few Huddlers should follow this advice.

not sure why we wouldn't. it's not like he breaks the bank and he gives us a respectable returner.

only thing i can think of is that they are counting on one or two of the WRs we draft carrying on in that role as well. 

Probably has something to do with the almost 3 mil that we'd owe him.

yeah, I want a brand new WR corp.   It's not happen, but we can't keep bringing back everyone. 

Mingo is going to be here. 

Slow can't run Theilen is going to be here. 

Now going to add this dude? 

Pretty soon it's just going to be the exact same group....plus a rookie.

I think that was really just bad coaches that can't manage a roster.  ISM called our OC on that bologna too.

I don't really get this. He was one of the only guys that seemed to give a fug. Now the Panthers have yet another roster hole and have to find a new returner.

It's easy to think about primary returners as easily replaceable, but I've seen one too many times over the years the Panthers trot out JAGs that end up being a net-negative in the return game. Yeah, you can find a returner at the end of the draft, but it's still a draft pick used, and as the Panthers have shown time and time again it's not a guaranteed position to draft.

My growing sentiment is that next year, without major hits in free agency and the draft, is going to be one of the least competitive Panthers teams assembled. It just feels like this team is on the Browns franchise trajectory.

Sorry, 3 mil is rich for Smith-Marsette. Plus, there's still a chance that we bring him back. I fully expect us to draft a couple of receivers in the draft, and possibly even a RB. Some of these day 2 guys have experience returning kicks. Keep in mind that Smith-Marsette wasn't drafted until the 5th round. Dude has been on 3 rosters so far, and that doesn't even include KC.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
