RiotReport: Breaking Down Funchess, Samuel, And Byrd & Why A Flashy FA May Not Be Necessary

@Saca312 aka Nathan aka Dirty Nigel

Yo bro, guess what my analysis of the TEs last year was correct.

You owe me a thread dedicated to breakdown of all the top tier TEs in this year class and why we should be drafting one in the early rounds ASAP. 

Thanks,

Face it, we were running on 6 cylinders last season when it comes to the offense.

If you don't see tons of WR TD's, you automatically want to call for new WR's.  It is a normal reaction.  Might not be right, but normal.

In my opinion, our offense was never in sync so it would not matter if we had a whole new set of WR's.  

I just don't think we got a true picture because of coaching.  Fix that before fixing or trying to fix your roster.

It's like your car won't run over 50mph and you just keep changing the tires.

Screw that, get Watkins and Wallace and call it a Super Bowl. 

We will draft a rb, Hurney is good with first round running backs. Our offense will scream

This is the part of the year where I agree with Sanjay and want another receiving TE to put on the roster. 

His message is usually spammy as all hell and there's nothing we can do about it mid-season when he complains about it, but I really want another TE to pair with Olsen and be the heir apparent when he leaves.

If we go into next season with Funchess, Samuel, and Byrd as our top three WRs then Cam Newton should hold out and/or demand a trade. No joke. That would be fuging atrocious and you know it. You convinced yourself that Russell Shepard was going to be an answer this season too. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but sometimes you try a little too hard to convince yourself.

I think it’s obvious that isn’t going to happen. The team has talked getting receivers constantly this offseason

Deja vu for the last 15 years in preseason, thinking "the answer is on the roster!" but it's really not.     The only season where we didn't "feel" like we were short on WRs was the last super bowl run, but that was just an amazing season.    None of these guys are proven, and all seem prone to injury (Funchess at least plays through a lot of it).      I agree with others, getting another TE would help at least, but we definitely need help.    Combine this with our lack of developing WRs and it's probably worth looking at FA, just like almost every year, and especially Cam's tenure here.

It's just not about getting any TE like @Saca312 its getting the one that can do both (Run blocking/Pass Protection & Receiving)

Do it

[stirs]

yes, just keep changing the tires, that'll do it

[RoaringRiot]

LOL...Why is everyone responding to this article like he’s suggesting not to add any WRs? 

[CatMan72]

Disagree that our biggest need is a posession receiver, we need Ginn back or someone with speed to take the top off defenses. Can Samuel or Byrd do that? Maybe... but I wouldn't be willing to bet my season on a maybe. We had a posession receiver in Benjamin but no deep threat so defenses were playing cover zero and shutting us down.

[Byrdman4real]

Wallace, Watkins, or Robinson 

Then another good TE to pair with Olsen

Draft another RB

If Samuel not ready to play because of injury, picking up Austin from F.A. would work out also for insurance. 

Byrd injury didn't require surgery, so he should be ready to role. 

1. wallace, watkins, or Robinson 

2. Funchess

3. Austin

4. Samuel 

5. Byrd 

6. Draft pick

TE: Olsen and draft pick

This would be a system Corp. All players will have a role in the offense.
