my question to the Huddle is who is our bigger playmaker, Benji or Greg? had statistically similar seasons last year.... and what role will Funchess play as far as top playmakers go?

Greg. Benji can make more "wow" plays but greg is way more consistent and clutch.

Olsen - 84-1008-6 (123 targets, long of 38 yards)
Benjamin 73-1008-9 (145 targets, long of 51 yards)

IMO they both fall into basically the same possession receiver mold. Olsen is by far more consistent (and actually had a better YAC average), but Benjamin is a better big-play target.

Funchess sems a bit quicker than either one, but I don't personally see him getting the same volume of targets. He could finish with 800 yards, or 400. It depends on how we shuffle him out, how many targets (if any) he takes from KB and Olsen, and how Ginn and Brown contribute.

I think if Ginn/Brown and a distant Dixon can consistently contribute the Offense is going to be dangerous. Not so much big play deep threat dangerous but consistently potent. Panthers will have a great year if that happens.

Benjamin is a more dangerous threat as a receiver in my opinion, but Olsen's blocking makes him one of the best all around players in the entire league and a more effective down for down player than KB.

Olsen's reliability puts him ahead on Benjamin at this point IMO.  But, once Benji gets it figured out and cuts back on the drops he will be our offense's most explosive weapon.  Kelvin's overall size and agility is just off the charts.  I can't wait to see these guys take the field this year, and I pray they make it there healthy (Pounds Wood!).

Don't agree with Stafford Bell and Megatron being ahead of us.

I also don't see how the trio in Dallas is either. If Murray was still in the backfield, ok... But not that trio. He even says in the article we don't know who's going to get the bulk of the carries in their backfield.

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
