Devin Funchess or Dez Bryant?

Funchess looks like he has regressed this year. I honestly believe if we replaced Funchess with Dez he would upgrade our offense. The drops Funchess has had this year is unacceptable. I think Dez would be more reliable even though he is older and doesn't have any upside. I honestly think we should consider bringing him in. Cam knows him and vouched for us to sign him when he was released. If nothing else he brings emotion to the offense which we lack at the WR position.


Am I crazy, or are you guys buying what im selling?

Cam and Dez would be terrible together for a lot of reasons.  One of which is Dez can't separate (not even as well as Funchess).  Two is because those personalities would be a ticking time bomb.

Cam is an alpha.  Dez acts like he's an alpha.  The second Dez says something, it won't be pretty.  And I'd rather not mess up the team chemistry because that is one thing we have going for us: everyone loves each other and there is never any beef.  Rivera has created the perfect locker-room.

I don't agree.  He is getting about what we want him to get.  He dropped the first pass, and after that played pretty well.  Funchess has 14 receptions on a team that is in the bottom 10 as far as pass attempts, and throws more to the running back than any other team.  And he has a total of 1 dropped pass.

 Its the other receivers that aren't doing much, either because of the offense  or their lack of production or some combination thereof.  

 

He is not a deep threat nor a superstar, but he does what he is supposed to do.  I am not sure what else we expect of him.

Dez has been a shorter version of KB for a few seasons now. Dez plays a little bigger but his hands are worse. It's crazy how some people can't see this and want to live in the past with Dez.

Also, Dez has been waiting for a certain financial contract that we or any good team won't give him. His ego has cost him a contract and teams have opted for the cheaper rookie route than to bother with Dez

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
