I like the trade because of Benjamin's knee but I don't think Funchess is number either. We need someone that is a playmaker and the number no questions asked. I don't think u can say that with Funchess.

Makes my head hurt to ponder what we do if Funchess gets hurt.  We need a FA WR we know can play and at last 2 youngins in the draft IMO.

Players are always all in. They have to be.

Most people on here believe Rivera coaches better when he's on the hot seat. In that line of thinking, this would likely be considered a positive.

The wild card is Hurney.

As long as Jerry Richardson was owner, Marty's never really been in much of a position to think he needed to win to save his job. His being in that spot now could mean good things or bad things. We really don't have anything to go by.

It's a big unknown at this point, but I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Benjamin had true star number one potential, Funchess doesn't appear to really have that, he has the ability to be a good WR, but not a star number one receiver. My point isn't Benjamin is a star number one receiver, my point is--his rookie season. He showed he had the potential to be something better than what he is. Hell, even this season I saw him use his huge frame to make some great 3rd down conversions and stuff that made him a nightmare to cover and certainly that funchess will never have the capability of making as well as most receivers in the NFL. Benjamin has the potential that Funchess doesn't, but Funchess, after the Benjamin trade, appears to be the better receiver.

Also read from his presser that they don't know if they view Funchess as a #1 or #2 wr and that their primary focus this off-season is to get a wr and build on the position. We need to get Cam a playmaker and tell gettlemans little bitch Shepherd to hit the door!!!!

I recognized he said Shepherd name last when talking about the receivers. Funchess was first and Byrd was second, then the others and Shepherd last

Totally agree. We have to get a go-to wr that u can depend on no matter what. Funchess is good to be like the Mushin Muhammad someday but we need the Steve Smith. We have to go out there and get that for Cam Newton!!

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
