Schein weighs in on Panther chances sans KB

To extend your point, if I may:

Funchess is raw, but arguably not as raw as Benjamin was.  Benjamin has a slight advantage in the physical tools, but Funchess is not far behind.  I am guessing the difference between the 2 as rookies will be 200 yards or so.  If that is the case, you are talking 12.5 yards per game.  Red zone?  The way Funchess uses his hands to high point the ball, I say it could be a wash. 

Now lets look at the other differences:

QB

2014 Cam (, no offseason, limited preseason, hurt, no chemistry with stable full of new WRs) vs. 2015 Cam (Healthy, better leader, entering his prime, knowledge of every WR in camp)

Other WRs

2014 Cotchery, Avant, Underwood, Bersin, etc.

2015 Funchess, Cotchery, Brown, Ginn

OL

2014 T: Bell, Chandler, late addition-Remmers

2015 T: Oher, Williams, Remmers

2014 G: Silatolu, and I can't remember the RG--was it Scott?

2015 G: Norwell, Turner

The difference between Benjamin and Funchess is offset by the improved WR corps.  The OL is better, the RBs are better, and the QB is going to be improved.  If Vegas has the over/under at 8.5 (they did at one point), take the over.

 

Great addition. Much better position for Funchess than KB. Plus, Funch didn't really have a real good QB in college.....so it's kinda unknown his full ability.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
