Just as bad as I remember. 

Yet better than any Stallone acting.

Well, as of now, I really could care less what he did in college.

So far in the NFL, he's been our best route runner on the field so far. Fantastic blocker, has the speed and twitch to make multiple defenders miss in space, and looks poised to be a fantastic deep threat. 

Really excited to see how the Panthers start using him going forward.

Thats a little off as well considering he has hardly had the snaps at WR running routes.  This week was his first week seeing a lot of action at WR running routes.  He did have a nice catch, but again is raw as you see here in this gif in this thread. 

Niw he has loads of potential, and showed it this week.  And think he couod be the top WR by next year, though Funchess has shown a lot of promise and potential as well without KB

I love Funchess and Samuel. Russell Shepard is a solid WR3 as well imo.

I think moving on from KB has been for the best. This offense now has youth and loads of potential to dominate in the future. An offense ran through Funchess, Samuel, and McCaffrey will go far.

The goal here is to catch the ball.

Drawing a penalty isn't a bad second option, though.

Curtis needs more touches. Replacing Benjamin with 1 very nice catch isn't enough.

Well hopefully as he get more touches, refs will be on notice of how shifty he is and catch these holds

Curtis Samuel always exploded out of the backfield on his obligatory 1 end around per game. And I think he still only had 3 catches this game. I agree he needs to get involved more, would like to see a couple of deep strikes to him vs Dolphins .

Agreed Shepard is a solid #3.  Reminds me a little of a slightly more athletic version of 2015 Philly Brown.

Funchess and Samuel are the future.  Though, again Samuel is still raw and has to prove he a full time WR out wide.  Thus I still feel a need for a WR this offseason incase

I have us getting Dante Pettis in a way too early mid season mock as a 3rd round WR to push for that #2 spot

Yeah they allowed the Falcons to hold all day. Quite frankly the poor play of the refs kept them in the game and made it closer than it was. Like allowing ATL to hold up our players while punching at the ball. I've not seen a crew do that all year. Mostly they blow the whistle when forward progress stops. 

Yes, I couldnt believe they didnt blow the play dead on that first stewart fumble.  He was held up forever

Hes not a better route runner than Shepherd or even Bersin. That's a bold statement.

The absolute worst executed "flop" I ever saw by a Panther was courtesy of Jake Delhomme. 

It was so exaggerated it looked like something out of a bad movie death scene. 

If we need a flop coach, bring in Vlade Divac. He was the all time champ at getting flop calls, even of it was the NBA.

Absolutely correct.  What irritated me was when we stood him them they blew the whistle so quickly.  I think it was their TE had a similar play and we were trying to get the ball free and they blew the whistle immediately after his progress had stopped.  But not for Stewart.

I miss Gross. Notice how he reacts when he sees Cam on his back.
