That’s funny, but I will say I’ll eat my crow. 

I was pretty vocal and not happy with what he showed the first year or so. I’m happy to see what he is turning into. 

His first two years stats looked like this...

2015-2016

56 Rec 782 Yards 7 TDs 

2017

31 Rec 473 Yards 5 TDs

On a serious note with Funch, he is not playing any differently than he has his whole career, he's just getting more time on the field and he's being put in position to be the 1st or 2nd read more often. Funch is a good WR and has been since he got here. 

I know it seems like I'm needlessly defending the guy, but I get tired of the "he's finally playing really well for us" talk. No, he's playing the same he has since he got here (although he's obviously gotten better since he was drafted, but you get what I'm saying). He's never had an issue with dropping balls, he's never had an issue with running bad routes. He's never had an issue getting open pretty consistently. The areas he "struggles" are where every receiver struggles. Having his hands or arms hit while trying to reel in a pass. And even in those situations, he's winning some. Funch is a solid #1 option for us and I'm glad some of the people here are starting to come around on the guy.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
