The Offense and coaches decision

I can't help but sit and wonder did the Panthers really make a mistake in the off season?  In training camp, In Preseason as well ? I will start with Ted Ginn Jr. 10 touchdowns as an outside #1 WR. He took the bull by the horns and got it done, I don't give a flying fug what his drop rate was and we know it was bad. Philly Brown, a seemingly polished receiver thanks to excellent coaching by Prohel. When Talib took him out hard in the sidelines, his presence missing from the offense was felt. He had some brilliant moments last season and was serviceable enough to work the slot. 

Now I talk about Devin Funchess, who's been well... Rather disappointing despite his amazing performance and work ethic in training camp, preseason ect.. The big question is did the Panthers let him earn his starting job way too easily? Did Dave sit down with the entire team and say this guy should be the #2  automatically? I think we are all trying to figure out what's going on with fun fun. Is he not ready to produce as a 2? Should Ted Ginn have been our 2? And Philly the 3? With fun fun as 4 and relieving the 2 or 1 in certain situations when fatigue is a factor?  What say you ?

Funchess and Philly are playing the same role a lot of the time if you actually watch how they're being used. In 3 receiver sets they're both in the slot, and I think Philly actually got more action than Funchess there on Monday, at least in the first half. So I don't see how they made Funchess the #2? 

Also, in his limited opportunities, he seems to be getting open a lot, the QB's just haven't been able to find him.

once again I agree with this...I am not sure why they felt the need to change rotation heavily depend on KB and instead of doing what seemed to have worked last year.

The team is trying too hard to replicate the success from last year with all the big plays we had. I think this is the reason why Cam is holding the ball too long. It's a new year and we need to take back the reigns a little bit and take what the defenses are giving us.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
