What is the deal here?  The hype Blewup this training camp how he may and some said did pass KB as #1

He has been a Ghost.  

Yesterday though i was baffled.  He was in at the start of the game and thought for a moment we may see the hype.  On the 2nd play of the 2nd drive he blew past his man like Julio abusing our dbs.  The falcons db grabbed ahold of him for dear life to prevent the td but drew the flag for PI (sadly we got a flag to causing it to offset).  At the end of the play I saw him get pulĺed off the field and rarely saw the field again until the end (mainly saw KB, Philly, and Ginn)

Towards the end after Cam went out.  Anderson came in and Funchess as well. Funchess again toasted his man and Anderson hit twice for 53 yards.  Afterwards once again you saw him get pulled out and saw to see a majority of the other trio

 

Is this kid in shulas dog house or something?

Cam hasn't been right since his ankle got nicked against Minnesota, so IMO, it goes back to that.  On the other side, Shula is doing NOTHING to maximize our roster, I'm tired of seeing Funch and KB on routes 30 yards down the field when slants and curls with guys that size against average to below average DB's is almost guaranteed yardage.  So basically, it's a combination of poor QB play and piss poor play design.

Fwiw, lots of sacks and some bad passes have made it seem that most of our receivers are missing this year.  

Yup bad OTs and a OC who is coasting on who his daddy is back in the day isn't going to be painting any pretty pictures too often..

The offsetting penalty was actually on Funchess for illegal motion.
Last week he dropped a critical 3rd down.
Funchess has potential but is inconsistent.
I have a Funchess Jersey but he has not lived up to the hype out of training camp, at least not yet.

He hasn't been right since Denver. But I agree.

Funchess is a bust. We should've traded him. He's just another project. Blah blah blah. Trash trash trash. Pile on, pile on, pile on.

Far be it for anyone to have their own constructive thought. Let's just dog pile on people because that's what ignorant people do.

 

Now, Funchess hasn't be good but he hasn't be bad. When he's on the field you know it because he gets looks, but that's when he's on the field. The coaching staff still trots Ginn out there more often than not so they keep the speed dynamic. Then they play Philly in the slot because he has the speed and quickness to play the slot the way they want him to. They are in no rush to put him on there for more snaps. Why? Tough to say but he has plenty of room for improvement but he's on the right track. Not everyone can come in and be a beast on day 1. I wish they would so the typical lynch mob butt hurt fans could find something more interesting to do with their time.

No one is playing good right now. Well except for Kuechly and TD.

Honestly, I think a case could be made in both ways.  He had 111 Passer rating vs SF, 350 yards, 4 tds and 1 int and against Minn he was like 7-7 with a TD against minn before the injury then absolutely fell apart.  I think it was Voth that pointed out this play, and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.  He doesn't look right running now and his footwork is worse than usual which both of those could be attributed to an ankle injury.  His concussion could be a blessing in disguise because of the kind of competitive streak he has, it could FORCE cam to sit out and get really healthy.

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
