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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      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.
