Opinion.. Panthers brass have concerns over KB, hence Funchess.

Please note the keyword here is OPINION.. The more and more I think about it, the more I think there could be some underlyimg concerns the FO and coaches have with KB and I think that is a lot of the reason we drafted Funchess.. This is the part the proverbial pitchforks come out, but I dont care what anyome says. The fact he put on 9-10 lbs for someone who isnt too speedy to begin with is worrisome..

 

It says a lot of things. First off, if KB was truly as dedicated during the off season, why was he not exercising enough or conditioning? Then you have the case of TWO hammy issues during OTAs and to make matters worse that was in BOTH legs.. Now here is where I will get push back but this has to be said..

 

Yes, I get the stats.. Over 1000 rec yds and what like 9-10 TDs?! While that is impressive I do think that one thing that gets overlooked on here is a lot of those yds did come during garbage time, and quite few of them when DA was under center because of garbage time. I watch every second of every single Panther game like clockwork and we had a lot of garbage time last year as a whole and I remember KB putting up a lot of numbers then ( Philly game is one game that comes to mind). 

 

Also, there is no doubt he had a lot of mind numbing WTF drops.. The bottom line is this.. Do i think we are going to hear KB is going to be waived and Funchess takes his spot?! Ofcourse not! (Although im guessing by how some of you react, you will think thats what I am saying) I am simpy saying that after the report of his weight gain and then now the 2 hammy issues, im starting to get a tad bit concerned about KB and loving the Funchess pick more and more.

Also, if simply having a hamstring injury itself hints that a player supposedly may not be "dedicated", well it looks like a number of good players are or have been lazy bastards.

Only PanthersUnited could come up with such dreadfully idiotic logic.

The only concern they have with K.B is that he couldn't do it alone and needed some help to get the double teams off of him. Funchess is the other big WR they needed to compliment K.B. and give the other teams coverage fits. With Olsen and a speed guy like Ginn or Brown, they can now blow other teams up with coverage problems. K.B. will be here for a long time.

    • They are worried that smaller markets would get the best new players. 
    • We overthunk it.  We had a need for big #1 WR. Our coach had Evans in Tampa.  The draft was not a good value in the first with edge players, but I really think we got 2 steals in rounds 2 and 3.  I think the second round talent at edge (since Pearce and Green seemed to have baggage) was pretty level.  Common sense says you grab the Mike Evans-type WR and dip in at edge on day 2.  We went after DTs pretty hard in free agency, and the draft was deep there--I think they did this because the plan was WR and Edge and maybe RB and (rather obviously) Safety.  The key was making sure TMac was there because there were really no others like him.  ---- I dont think Morgan was bad last year; just had some bad rookie GM luck.  XL has upside, but was raw...I would not call him a bust yet--too many variables working against him.  I think he will be a good #2.   I think Coker will be our slot post AT, and I REALLY like the Horn pick.  This seems to have been their plan if you consider free agency ---re-sign Horn and Jackson--Moehrig, Roseboom, Wharton, Brown III, Jones--If the focus was WR, RB, S, and Edge, Morgan hit a home run.
    • I was having the same thoughts.  You might need to get some help.  😀
