Panthers wide receivers vs San Fran - Who will have the biggest impact?

Gotta think which WRs will get jerseys on game day too:

KB - #1

Funch - "#2"

Shep - #3

Byrd - ST & PR

Samuel - Probably inactive, though I'd love to see him active, rawness + injury + Rivera = no jersey

 

That being speculated on, outside of KB, I actually see Shep as the most productive come week 1 in terms of yardage, but Funch will outscore him with 1 TD.

Still can't believe so many bagged on KB. He's going to be a stud and I've been on his bandwagon all year knowing they rushed him back last year like they almost did with Cam.

Yep, I think we can count on one hand the people who have actually stood by KB and realize the effects of an ACL tear 

KB is going to have a monster year and it starts Sunday

The ACL tear had zero effect on his lack of effort on numerous occasions last year. I've been behind him the whole time and he has all the talent you can ask for at the position to dominate like a Dez Bryant or Brandon Marshall in his prime. But he has had a lot of struggles that are on him. Just been waiting for him to overcome some of that and I do think he will this year. May not show on the statsheet with more mouths to feed, but I think he'll take that step forward we've been waiting for.

It's definitely going to be KB.  Anyone else will just be a pleasant surprise.  I'd love for Samuel to be all caught up and ready to contribute right away, but I think that would be an unrealistic expectation.  I don't expect much of anything from anyone not mentioned.  Byrd and Shepard are red herrings, but I'd love it if I'm wrong.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
