Devin Funchess

[Ace_Aladdin]

Looks like Panthers aren't  playing around this year, DG has come to terms of letting players go that haven't  panned out. 

 

Is Devin Funchess the next causality with the amount of quality  depth we have at WR. 

Many Huddles are on KB weight issue he still has performed at high level and can actually play  "X" WR role unlike Funchess.

 

Panthers should cut Funchess and bring in 2nd TE incase of injuries to KB or Olsen

Nope, the real # 1 is Greg Olsen but if we are talkng about WR strictly then it will got too Curtis or Ross

Benjamin is just little bit overwieght but  he will perfectly fine for camp.  

2015 season:

CAM:     3,837 yds   35 TDs

J-Stew:     989 yds     6 TDs

Olsen:     1104 yds     7 TDs

Ginn:        739 yds    10 TDs

Funch:      473 yds      5 TDs

Brown:      447 yds      4 TDs

KB (2014):  1,008 yds 9 TDs

 

2016 season: 

CAM:     3,509 yds   35 TDs

J-Stew:     824 yds     9 TDs

Olsen:     1073 yds     3 TDs

Ginn:        752 yds      4 TDs

Funch:      371 yds      4TDs

Brown:      276 yds      1 TDs

KB:            941 yds      7 TDs

 

If something happens to KB I believe Fred Ross will win the #1 spot and Curtis Samuel will be #2. 

Funches is good depth player but he hasn't lived up to his potential due to his limited skill set (even though DG claimed he could play all X,Y & Z.  )

If Boston's release and Ealy's trade isn't a shot across his bow, I don't know what is. Dude better come to camp ready to fight for his job.

[heel31ok]

players many said wouldn't pan out and were not good picks to begin with...

[Snake]

No of anything it's KB. Funchess could do well in a retooled system. I'm not sure about KB though. 

[KillerKat]

I'd rather cut Dickson. Before the draft, I would've wanted to trade KB, move up a spot and drafted Mike Williams. Now it seems we're stuck with both KB and Funchess. 

[ItsPantone278]

Overreaction.  It's clear you don't like Funchess, but from a business stand point it makes absolutely no sense to cut him now.

[dpm0409]

Not surprised about the Boston release, but would be surprised about a Funchess release.  If he shows no improvement after the 2017 season, then yes, he will probably be gone.  Dude entered the draft too early to cut him already, at least IMO.

[gmonjimbo]

I think Funchess will be given the opportunity to prove himself, he was behind Philly Brown and Ted Ginn in snaps. If he does not perform in an increased role he will be gone. Tre Boston was given the opportunity to be the starter at S and he failed. Kony Ealy had a big SB pefromance and Jared Allen retired, Kony did not step up so he was traded. KB and Funchess are on notice but they should not be cut or traded this year

Where is this "quality depth" at WR you speak of?

And don't you f'n dare say Fred Ross. 

Charles Johnson will be our number 2 when the season starts.

[ScreenPlay]

What kinda dumb talk is this...my god 

[thefuzz]

Honestly, how old are you really?

[ItsPantone278]

I don't understand all the Charles Johnson love.  While I can be optimistic, It's far from a guarantee dude makes the roster.  Not to mention if his production is even on par with Funchess, ones a UFA and the other is going into 4th year of rookie deal

[pantherphan96]

Feel like I've said this 20 times, but Funchess is 22 years old and has played with a NFL-caliber QB for only 2 years after playing TE/WR on a Michigan team QB'd by Devin Gardner (now playing in Japan) and Denard Robinson (drafted as a RB).

Also feel like a lot of people are overrating our WR depth.

[panther4life]

No. He's safe,as he should be.
