I love our resident Huddle medical experts. 

Year in year out they come out the woodwork.

RR -- plan was to have both punters work vs. Titans but there were only two chances. Andy Lee will be first up against Jacksonville.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera liked what he saw out of second-round draft pick Curtis Samuel, coming off a hamstring injury that sidelined him for most of camp. But Rivera wouldn't commit to the former Ohio State wide receiver playing in Thursday's preseason game. "We want to be smart with him,'' Rivera said on Monday. "We don't want to put him in a situation where he goes from zero to 50 right away. We'll take a good look. If he has a good day tomorrow we'll consider it.''

RR is one of THOSE drivers.

Surely, y'all know what RR meant, right?

Since Bolt can't quite make 28 mph, I'll take 50 from Samuel any day. lol

Funchess is faster than Benji lol

Obviously he meant having our best WR out there with our fastest. Keep up buddy.

Typically not, actually

PF you just love being difficult with people dont you? Olsen is a Tight End. I'm exclusively talking about WRs.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Funchess is going to be a lot better than some of you think this year. It will still be tough for him to put up big numbers though, just because we don't throw the ball 40+ times a game like most teams today.

[Pantha-kun]

Funchess' "speed" is useless if he continues to struggle to separate from receivers

He doesn't have to pick up big numbers. What most of us have a problem with is his efficiency . 39.7% catch rate is absolute ass.

That number is nothing but a judgement call  though. Who determines what is a catchable ball and what is not and/or the degree of difficulty of the catch anyway?
