Funchess has more potential to be our WR1 than Kelvin Benjamin based on his athleticism and fluidity with his routes. If he can reach that status, the Panthers will be stupid good.

 

Based on what theyve actually done on the football field at both the NCAA and NFL levels thus far, I'll be shocked if Funch is ever a better football player than KB. At this point, I'd be happy if Funch can simply prove himself legitimately worthy of a roster spot, not a guy who hangs on because our WR corps is weak and he's a former 2nd round pick.

idc about the past. I could write a whole essay about the circumstances and reasons for what has been

 

i care about this season and im telling yall, just watch. KB will dominate. 

I would argue that there are certainly less than 10 WR1s in the league. KB isn't one of them at this point. It takes a great amount of steadfast dedication to be that guy, and thus far Benjamin hasn't proven to be that kinda guy. But the thing is, I don't think KB or any one of the guys has to be a WR1, they just have to execute when called upon on a consistent basis. If they are truly hungry enough to hone their craft to the best of their ability, I think we'll see all of them shine in spots. That's the way that our offense---dynamic offenses---should work.

Again.  Idc about what was at this point. Could write an essay in explanation of the circumstances that came into play. I care about what will be. I intuitivly predict Kelvin will dominate

 

hes a WR1 right now. Just has to go out and prove it. I believe the circumstances will be in his favor

 

other than that, i agree. He doesnt need to be. But if he is we are fukin scary

I'm with you on this one. People are underestimating how tough it is to come back from an ACL for a guy that big. It was in KB's head for most of last season.

Also, the entire team was in a funk. Offense had no consistency or rythm. Started with injuries to Cams head and with the online

 

i think the circumstances and system failed the players. Not that the players failed the system

 

with mojo back on our side and health (knock in wood) i hope that momentum and rythm is on our side this year

WR is dependent on QB who is dependent in OLine and OC. 

 

Our offense was anemic last year (lack of redblood cells, lack of hemoglobin and oxygen to tissues, feel lethargic and out if energy)

 

not exactly the perfect evirnment or situation to thrive  

 

the pieces to the puzzle were out of place and the end result (image) was all fuged up     Short sighted to blame the actual pieces     Gotta see that as a whole the pueces were simply in the wrong place

To my less than expert eyes, Funchess looked a lot better late in his rookie year than most of last year.  In his rookie season we could see some clear progression. The light went on for him somewhere around week 6 or 7 and after that he really showed quite stead improvement.  Last season he was just maddeningly inconsistent and seemed to "shrink" on the field. 

Funch's comments make me think that Cotchery had a big role in mentoring him in 2015 and that was missing last year.  Truth is we missed Cotch on our offense and in the locker room much more than we ever could have imagined at the beginning of last season.  I like the fact that Funch basically is admitting that he still has a lot to learn and that he's excited about working with Cotch again.  I think the fact that Cotch played alongside him in 2015 is huge... there is solid trust & rapport there as well as (mostly) good memories of playing together during a magical SB run.  I have a lot more optimism about the potential for Funchess to develop further when I think about him working with Cotch than if it were just Taylor alone coaching the WRs.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
