Thoughts on Trading Funchess?

No way, funch is the only receiver proven to be able to be a number 1 (although, pretty sure DJ Moore will be that man).  That said, you let him play out this year, and let him walk.  Receivers with his skillset and age are demanding massive contracts we cant afford, and it's ok with the depth we have behind him.  Dont make the j-no mistake twice, from the youngsters behind him and move on in the offseason

I did not say, infer, and/or imply that it was either a crime or unusual. Of course, that is why he failed his physical.

Personally, I believe the Panthers need an upgrade and I would never completely close a door to any player. My statement was simply an indication of my belief that available albeit incomplete information would lead me to believe he is not a viable option and that the fact that he remains unsigned is strong evidence that the Panthers made the right decision when they voided his contract.

 

 

It may have been "right" at the time, but we sure could use him now. And I still say that it's not a stretch to say that perhaps Hurney's decision was hasty. Was it wrong? No. Was it perhaps a little hasty in retrospect? Perhaps. The reason that he is not an option now apparently has little to do, if anything,  with his original injury. As some in the know have essentially said, the problem is that Breeland got pissed when we voided his contract. He has at least one confirmed offer since the spring (from the Chiefs), so that further leads me to believe that he is fully healed now.

Dez would do a better job in Devin’s role than Devin will. That’s also acknowledging the fact that Bryant’s play isn’t near what it used to be.

Nope, not at all. Dez gets worse separation and runs worse routes. Having Dez would be like keep Kelvin. There's a reason it's August and teams have elected not to sign Dez. Only thing I'd say Dez can do better than Funchess is jump balls but that's it.

Yep, but that reason is because Dez's diva bullshit is no longer worth what he brings to the table as a player. I wouldn't want him.

I like Funchess. He showed that he's a legit starting NFL WR last season. BUT, I'd trade him for a legit starting caliber CB. Right now. Without hesitation. Someone is going to give him $10-12M per year in free agency next year, if not more. I hope that isn't us.

Every time we establish solid depth there’s talks of trade.. it’s rather idiotic..

Because in a salary cap league, it is “idiotic” to have an embarrassment of riches at one position, while entire units (secondary & o-line) are wholly underwhelming.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
