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.

      every team having an international appearance every year is almost guaranteed right now.  Panthers will be the Home team in Germany once every four years in the current rotation (2028 being next). List of home game markets: Argentina: Dolphins Australia: Raiders, Rams, Eagles, Seahawks Austria: Lions, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Seahawks, Bucs Brazil: Lions, Dolphons, Pats, Eagles Canada: Bills, Bengals, Cards, Lions, Vikings, Seahawks China: Rams Colombia: Dolphins France: Saints Germany: Falcons, Pathers, Lions, Packers, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Giants, Steelers, Seahawks, Bucs Ghana: Eagles Greece: Chargers Ireland: Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Jets, Steelers, Titans Japan: Rams Mexico: Cards, Cowboys, Broncos, Texans, Chiefs, Raisers, Rams, Dolphons, Steelers, 49ers New Zealand: Raiders, Rams, Eagles, Seahawks Nigeria: Browns South Korea: Rams Spain: Bears, Chiefs, Dolphins Switzerland: Lions, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Seahawks, Bucs UAB: Rams, 49ers, Commanders UK: Ravens, Bears, Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, 49ers So if we're *not* the home team, then we should keep an eye out on our road trip schedule for any of these teams and assigned home countries for potential matchups Example:  if we're playing the Packers as a road trip, there's a chance that the NFL would make us play in Ireland or the UK for that matchup to align with GB's home marketing country

      He did say he was likely to take a good OC spot over a bad HC spot. A little surprised he didn't go Lions. That's an insane offense to have your hands on.
