just chill with the Funchess = Dwayne Jarrett talk. Jarrett had 1 career TD in 30+ career games. Funchess had 5 in his rookie year alone. 

Yeah and we don't even throw the ball as much as most teams anyway. The Funchess hate is getting ridiculous. Let's just see how he does with his opportunities this year and then judge him.

 

Jericho Cotchery was a big part of our offense in 2015 and he only had 39 catches and 3 TD's, so that 3rd guy is probably just not going to get huge numbers in this offense. And I call Funchess the 3rd guy because we all know Olsen is the true #1 target until proven otherwise.

KB is going to have a good year. Check this out from Mike Clay of ESPN.

Benjamin will benefit from a schedule that is both obscenely easy for him and the rest of the Panthers offense. In fact, Benjamin will face what I've determined is the easiest cornerback schedule for a No. 1 wide receiver. Benjamin disappointed after a strong start last year, but he still ended up as a top-30 fantasy receiver and is now two full years removed from his torn ACL. As a rookie in 2014, Benjamin paced the NFL with 24 end zone targets and was fantasy's No. 17 scorer at the position. He's 6-foot-5 and has big scoring potential and an easy schedule.

This year it could be Olsen #1, KB #2, CMC #3. Funchess/Byrd/Samuel could be fighting to be the 4th option on this offense in the passing game.

That would be fine by me but I'm not about to count Funchess out yet. Hell, I would be fine with throwing the ball more as long it involves plenty of short passes that get guys like CMC and Samuel in space.

Funchess is the new Dwayne Jarrett. You keep hoping and hoping he'll just "get gud" but like Bokeem Woodbine in the movie, Life, he's our Can't Get Right

.

Dwayne Jarrett played receiver his entire college and pro career. Funchess also had a 100+ yard receiving game, something I'm not sure Dwayne Jarrett ever had. However, you bring up an interesting point...he was a Hurney pick.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
