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.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
