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 .

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
