Browns' drops, Funchess mystery and Boykin's rare appearances all a giant smokescreen?

So, this is probably a crazy stupid idea and a HUGE reach, yes I have my tin foil hat on but you know what, its a quiet Sunday night so why not. So lets start 1 by 1. We still dont know anything about Funchess when it comes to on the field, he had one nice sideline catch and a would be circus catch for a TD that almost was, other than that we know nothing about him because he has been limited due to his "hamstring issues." 

Then you have Boykin, a WR that had a very solid season in 2013 as "the guy" at WR, go back and look at his highlight video that year and you see he balled out, but yet he has been completely non existent working with the 1s in pre season.. Why is this?! Hmm

Then finally, you have Brown. Who rarely if ever had drop issues last season. But now all of a sudden he is literally dropping wide open, non contested pass after pass after pass, literally almost any memeber on this site could make the catches he dropped without even practicing. I mean some of these dropped passes its almost as though he is not catching then on purpose for reasons unknown.

I mean think about it, if us as fans that live, breathe and follow this team almost every hour on the hour still have no idea what our WR situation looks like, then the same applies for opposing D coordinators. To be perfectly honest, i think KB's injury isnt quite the great news to D coordinators as we might think. Atleast they would have had a gameplan to build around KB and slowing him down, but now, how and who do D coordinatoes prepare for?! I personally think this whole WR fiasco is gamesmanship from Rivera and crew to keep D coordinators on their toes.

Day 230

It has been over 7 months since PanthersUnited created his account. Morale is breaking across the Huddle. There isn't much patience left. We lost people along the way. Good people. I fear we may not make it through winter. PanthesUnited keeps making threads. Jeremy promises that the servers can hold the heavier traffic, but this is too much. At a certain point, we'll have to ration posts among the users. I fear the worst. My kindred are fearsome of what the future holds. This...this may be one of my last entries.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
