Funchess does not need to be back near Charlotte next season. 1 catch vs a depleted Tampa’s secondary? 

Think we traded that wrong tall slow WR. 

I agree, but think both tall slow WRs need to be elsewhere. 

Coaching--Left side of field: where is the accountability?  Jogging?  Is this a conditioning issue?

Right side of the field: Colliding in the end zone?  Really?  Is this a teaching issue?

This play alone should be all Tepper needs to fire RR--pathetic.

Somebody must have run the wrong route?

:fear: Football is all they do--they have been learning the plays for 6 months.  They can hand signal to the sideline if they forget the route---if they are reading, both WRs read wrong.

They collide on the right side because the DB/S pushes the TE into the post from the receiver on the right, this is a non-flag for defensive holding as it is beyond 5 yards, on the left it may be by design as the void was made available, on short fields you can't run full speed trough zone defense. If Cam sees Funchess he's open for YAC.

It's beating a dead horse at this point. He can come back and be paid as a WR3 next year behind Moore and Samuel or he can go get a nice payday and play somewhere else. Everyone knows it including him. 

I would rather have Wright.

You have a point about the DB holding, but the receivers should not be near one another at that point in the route--when the ball should be arriving.  They are at the 3-second point in the  route, when the ball is supposed to be out.  There are not many playbooks that have a deep post/deep flag pick play 20 yards off the LOS.

I am guessing the slot (TE) should have run an out and did not?  Maybe that is Thomas, and maybe why he has not been playing that much.  Dunno

Actually, whoever that is in the slot left is the one who should be getting the heat.  Funchess actually ended up in a huge void on the play, regardless of his speed getting there.  Had the slot receiver run his route with authority, he would have taken his man into the end zone and Funchess could have caught it for an easy score.  By running the route as he did, Funchess actually sold the outside corner on his non-involvement in the play.

I'm certainly no fan of half effort receivers, but this play was fine.  Yes, Funchess appeared to half effort it, but he ended up WIDE (*# OPEN.  Had the slot receiver run harder, Funchess would have only needed to out muscle the safety for a TD.  In fact, it looks like Cam did have a read to the left initially, but came off it too fast.  Hard to tell from that gif, but it looks like his initial look was left at the snap.  Certainly, he could have been trying to look off the defense, but the two receivers on the right colliding in the end zone blew up every chance of success on that side of the field.

Again, not an excuse, but this play on it's own isn't an indictment.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
