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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
