Are the Panthers receivers just average?

I feel like that's fair. KB is really good, but coming off a huge injury like he had is a reasonable question mark. Funch had a solid rookie season, especially the last stretch of games. Again, it's a little bit of a question mark because he's a second year guy with roughly four good games under his belt. I personally think he will be awesome, but I'm looking at this objectively. Then you have Ginn who is very polarizing. He can be really awesome and then you will be cussing him for a couple dropped passes. 

Next are the other guys. Hill will be a question mark for obvious reasons. (I'm still excited to see him play) Philly is solid but I think I read somewhere where they said he could be the odd man out. I don't see it happening but who knows. Bersin is clutch for a much needed first down grab and Byrd, well we will have to wait for pre-season. Long story short, it's fair.

If Funchess breaks out this year like I think he will and KB comes back to rookie form (without the drops), then I say we COULD be knocking on that top 10 door. Ginn is a GREAT slot WR for US and Philly Brown is a legit #4 (no matter what Huddlers say). Hill is that wildcard.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at this ranking.  I thought they'd have us more like 18 - 20.

Seems pretty fair to me as KB didn't play in 2015 and Funchess is still so young and developing.  We see all the potential, but based on actual performance, you can't yet rank our guys much higher than this.

I really can't wait to see KB & FUnchess together and the matchup nightmares it creates.  Assuming no major injuries, our 2016 offense will be even more a "pick your poison" situation for opposing Defenses than in 2015.  KB, Funchess, Olsen, Ginn, Cam & Stew all big weapons.  We've got size, imposing physicality, speed, ability to break tackles...

About the only thing we can improve on in our WR corps is better separation and more YAC.  But I think we'll start to see more of that with Funchess.

Can't wait to see how the #4 - #5 and possibly #6 spots shake out.  It will truly be a great competition in Camp!

If you want to judge them as an individual unit, that's probably a little high honestly.....if you want to include Stew, Cam, and Olsen into the picture...you know how football is played, they will all of a sudden look much better than average.

 

Cam is reaching a place where he is making those around him better...the great ones do that.

I think that's fair based on KB rehabbing and Funchess still developing. But I think  based on what we do and the combinations we can make based on skillset will actually make this group among the best in the league by the end of the season .

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
