Start Funchess over Philly?


GoobyPls

I know it's risky but I like this idea. The only reasons for not already doing so would be either Funch's blocking or playbook knowledge, as he has missed on some routes earlier in the season.

Nevertheless, he's been getting better and better, has much greater upside, and is the better WR right now compared to Philly.

Is there even gonna be room for Philly next season? Maybe he takes over Cotchery role.

Rather keep Cotchery over Philly. Cotchery has been good this year and reliable when called upon.

I'm hoping Tyler Boyd is sitting there still at the end of the 1st (where I hope we're drafting), he'd be an excellent slot guy. A group of Benjamin, Funchess, Boyd, Ginn and Cotchery would be nice next season. Corey Coleman is another intriguing prospect, as the guy can flat out fly but I'm not sold on his route running (coming from Baylor he hasn't been asked to run many routes) which is big to Gettleman. 

There are a few free agents like Travis Benjamin and Jermaine Kearse available this offseason. However if Gettleman wants to continue to build a WR group out of higher draft picks to keep costs down (as WR's on the open market don't come cheap) im all for it.

I would love Travis Benjamin here, he is a little guy but he can fly. he had almost 1000 yards on an awful browns team.

Funchess is really coming into his own.  I am starting to like him A LOT!!!  I think that the combo of KB and Funchess will be freaking deadly to opposing DB's next season.

With Ginn in the slot running up the seam, deep...and Greg working the middle.

I see nothing wrong with Philly as the #4 WR.  Philly is sneaky fast, and for the most part this year, has had good hands.  Plus he's making the salary of an UDFA on his rookie contract.  He has 4 TD's this season, and has made some crucial catches.  He definitely is not starter level in the NFL, but he's not bad either.  The Panthers have employed much, much worse on our WR depth chart over the last 10 years.  

We have the #1 scoring offense in the NFL.  Hard to find too much fault with anyone on the offense.

A WR corp going into next year of KB, Funchess, Ginn, Philly, and Cotchery/FA is way better than what long-term fans have become accustomed to.  Throw in Olsen, Dickson, Stewart, a solid O-Line, and the reigning MVP and it's an offense that will be reckoned with.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
