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.

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      By bandu · Posted

      i just feel like i read this he says she says poo all the time over & over again  on the internet  TV  work ,in public & then i think back to myself oh what a sick slandermongering world we live in now. ts just like those National Enquirer magazines you find in the grocery store at the checkout counter which are nothing more than complete & utter BS  & more often than not when you assume something then you make an ASS out of U & ME. so chill &  let the courts do their job & if he is guilty well he is guilty  LOL either or this has nothing at all whatsoever to do with Carolina Panthers football

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
