Looking back at the last 2 seasons, Fun-Fun has been under performing for the investment we made. I believe the main reason is that he does not provide any unique skill sets to set him apart from Olsen & KB. While he has size he doesn't play big, his speed & short area movement is average and his route running ability is poor. Panthers  have enough big body WRs , what we are lacking is a slot WR.

I would be willing to trade Funchess for a 3rd or 4th rd pick. Would you?

I want to see him one more year before I ship him off. He made some clutch catches in 15, when Cam had time to throw the ball. Get Cam's OL straight and we will see which WRs are worth keeping. In the mean time, we have to get a quick, speedy WR (ala NE), who can get open quicker than our big WRs.

If we could get a 3rd round pick for him, I'd  make that trade in a heartbeat. Problem is, no team would offer us a 3rd. All we could get is probably a conditional 7th rounder or something along those lines. Considering that, we might as well hang onto him and see if he can develop and capitalize on his potential.

Personally, I don't think Devin Funchess is going to pan out. He just isn't producing. Brandon LaFell, for all the hate he received from Panther fans, produced more receiving and was a great blocker. If LaFell wasn't good enough in the eyes of many fans then I don't understand what they see in Funchess, why his potential is lauded.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
