And by that I mean, he's gong to be a swiss army knife

 

I fully expect him to be used inside more than out wide, but more than anything, he's going to be used as a misatch option. TE, WR, Slot. Wherever he can create a size/speed mismatch, he'll do it.

 

He's not a burner, hell he'll have trouble getting separation from a lot of DBs, but one thing you need to know, he's not as slow as  his combine tie, not as fast as his proday time. But what he can do s impressive -- He can outsize people, he can make impressive catches using his long ams, and, probably most impressive, he's agile and strong enough to make people miss and pick up YAC

 

I still fully expect us to take a pure WR if one is available honestly, probably a pure deep threat/playmaker, but Funchess is so versatile you can see why Gman loves him.

Horrible comparison by Mayock.

Jimmy is 3 inches taller. 30 pounds heavier. Ran a faster 40. Has longer arms.

Funchess may be a fine player. He's not Jimmy Graham.

 

No, I'm not saying he'll be Jimmy. He's obviously not.

 

I'm saying he'll be used in the same way you guys used him

Of course people are going to compare him to a several time Pro Bowler, even though it's statistically more likely that he's just another NFL bust. I don't think people realize just how rare it is to get a player like Jimmy Graham.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
