Carolina Panthers work out East Carolina's Zay Jones and working out Ross

If we draft Zay Jones, which I'm not opposed to. What the hell do we do with Funchess if Funch gets beat out? Play him in the slot or play CJ in the slot? You know Wofford boy figures to get into this equation somehow. convert Funch to Tight End and make him gain muscle weight in the Offseason?

I think Funches is done...  he had an opportunity to shine last year and he blew it.  Drafting WR top 3 would basically say we throwing a towel of Funches...  he will be taking the #4 spot Brown used to hold.

I don't give a damn if we have to cut him. We need to be done with this poo of sitting around waiting on him to show up. No more free roster spots.

Funchess is a baby still, age wise

Funches had a good season when he played #4 WR in his rookie year but when he was asked to play #2 and #3 WR he failed big time... catching only 23 passes for less than 400 yards in 16 games.  Funches started 7 games last season and did absolutely nothing. Benjamin had almost 1000 yards as number #2 and #1 and started 13 games.  Funchess is slow and not very good route runner.  He got completely shutdown by starting corners.

Honestly, he wasn't the #2 last year. Ginn was.

Funchess was #4 in snap counts at WR.

The fact that he couldn't beat out Philly and we weren't even willing to offer Philly a contract says a TON.

Funchess better be acting as if he's battling for a roster spot because honestly I think he may be.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
