While nice to hear, it's a little odd hearing Funchess say he's helping the guy who will likely be taking reps from him.  I like everything about Funchess except for his ability to play football.

FWIW, a quicker offense with more legit threats makes everyone's job easier. I would be surprised if Funch's yards didn't actually go up (albeit on fewer snaps most likely).

Some people see the future and tie their line to it. TBH, why would any young WR not want to be Cam Newtons #1, right now, in his prime. The heat is on, already.

I don't see why not Odell is the #1 for Manning and he's the same size as Samuel, Anotonio Brown #1 for teh Steelers and he's an inch shorter than Samuel. SSmith #1 for us for how long? and 2 inch shorter than samuel. I don't think people should dismiss this possibility even if he seems to be starting his time mostly in the slot he's at least going to get some looks on the outside im guessing and if he flashes? who knows I think Kelvin plays alot more like a #2 WR anyway he doesn't have the speed or YAC like a typical #1

I don't think Funchess sees him as competition. He's a colleague whose success is tied to his own. An effective Samuel could draw attention away from Funchess if he's in the slot while Funchess is out wide.

I think Samuel will take snaps away from KB more than I do Funchess. Regardless of how it may seem, I think KB is in the dog house and will be until he shows he'll give 100% mentally AND physically. Coach Ron has also publicly stated they may have underutilized Devin last year.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
