This Devin Funchess guy...(WR Michigan)

I'm telling you not to be shocked if the Panthers grab him in the second round.

Benjamin, Funchess, Olsen...

That's a whole lot of red zone threat.

Where did we struggle as an offense again?

Ah yes, the redzone.

Once again you sir, are the tits.

We now have our twin towers.  The thing is that Funchess can go outside as well as line up at tight end in a 2 tight end set.  He has speed which is an automatic mismatch for a number 2 corner let along a safety or linebacker. I obviously was much higher on him compared to many here.  Gettleman seems to go for size and speed and figures the coaching staff can teach the players what they need to know. He also likes tough guys who play physical.  Seems Gettleman is going for the hybrid type of guy who can play more than one position so far in the draft.  Athleticism over skill, size and speed over technique which can be taught.

Which reminds me... no one mentioned me playing Rack City when Jessie took the microphone on the podcast. 

 

 

I thought it was clever.

I was actually watching the draft with riot and upstate.

I do wish I could have joined in the podcast.

Maybe he is not as accurate because the guys are smothered off the line, are slow, and can't get open. The deep balls later in the season to Philly Brown looked pretty good. Couple that with the fact that Cam's timing and mechanics were off since the Cinci game.... probably has to do with our Oline looking like:

And I'm not posting this to say that Cam is super accurate and it's all the Olines fault, I'm just saying running for your life consistently has to throw off your mechanics.

He probably could have had Olsen for a TD

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
