So many people have been bashing him this season because he isn't a true #1. It isn't his fault that we are having to use him there but it sure seems like he is coming around now. He is on pace now for 75 catches, 1k yards and 5 TDs. If before the season started you asked the forums here if this was acceptable for Funchess we all mostly would have been happy with that. He made a big boy catch in the end zone that a lot of WRs can't make and even on the interception he had Norman beat and Cam just underthrew the ball. There was a lot to dislike with our team yesterday but Funchess was a bright spot.

Funchess had a great game yesterday. 

Made a couple big time catches with defenders draped all over him. This is why Funchess is so damn frustrating. All the tools are there and for the first time in his career he put them all on display yesterday. 

If Funchess played every Sunday like he did yesterday he’d be a real problem in this league. He backed up his “I’m not soft” talk this week, hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.

*I’m also pretty certain that on the play in which Newton had his longest run of the day had the pocket held up for a split second longer Devin had the corner and safety beat deep, but we’ll have to wait for all 22 to confirm that

Agree.  I thought that Funchess looked really good yesterday, doing the things that an NFL receiver with his size should do.  It's not about the yards or catches . . . it's the way he got those yards and catches yesterday that was impressive.  The trick now is that he needs to do that every week. Consistently playing to his size and ability will take him a long way.

He played great yesterday. It’s worth noting though, Cam didn’t underthrow him bc of a bad pass on the INT, he was hit as he threw.

While I haven't had faith in Funchess and still don't have enough to want to see him resigned, he did have an awesome game yesterday. I'm hoping that was his break out game and that we continue to see the trend. Hopefully the talks of him being soft stoked the fire he already had into a wildfire.

Was one of the bright spots in yesterday's debacle. Really need to see that passion and production continuing going forward.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.

      The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
