What? No belittling of Funchess today?

Funchess can run routes, does get separation, and---perhaps most of all---makes big boy catches.  Today's game was a prime example.  

With our spread-the-rock-around offense, DF's game today was about as good as you can hope for out of our leading receiver.  He pretty much did exactly what he was supposed to do, and he does that most of the time.  Will he ever be great?  Well,  perhaps not (or maybe so). But DF will always be good.  He's a solid receiver that has come up in our system, and I see marked development (even if some of you can't,  or simply don't want to see it).  Our receiving corps would leave a lot to be desired without Funchess making clutch catches. I'd rather extend him if he isn't trying to break the bank (and I'd argue that 10 to 15 mil per is fair), but if you get rid of him,  you damned sure better replace him.  

Big boy catches!  That's right.

I'm just being real. He had an alright day. He manage to get 74 yards in a game where the Panthers had to pass quite often to get back into it. Don't act like he did anything amazing today. He's in every offensive snap just about, it's not shocking that in today's NFL a receiver would make some catches and get 74 yards.

Our offense might be hard pressed to produce a thousand yard receiver,  but Funchess is heading that way.  And it's not only about the yards,  it's about the catches as well. Some of you act like Funchess is not an NFL-caliber starting receiver.  Well, he is.  And all the things that I've heard some say that he can't do, he pretty much does week in and week out.  He's a good receiver.

He's an okay receiver, but I doubt he would have even this much production on most teams. I don't understand this thread, no one was downing Funchess today, and it's also not like he had an amazing day. He utilized his size today, and made some good catches, but it's not like he snagged a game winner.

If they don't play like it was in a Madden game, they think the player sucks. They also only believe in 42-0 victories and 16-0 regular seasons. Also, they usually expect their Moms to bring them Pizza Rolls at halftime.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
