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

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
