Yeah, no one attempted to coach Funchess in Carolina. Ever. Not once. That non-throwing QB has thrown for 3000+ yards every season. Cam and Peyton Manning are the only two QBs who've ever done that in each of their first eight NFL seasons.

Go home Devin, you're drunk.

Working on it, but you're missing the point, Devin came out of highschool as a tweener skinny pass catching tight end. He never had a throwing first QB or QB coach worth a damn at Michigan, changed positions Jr year (sucked as a reciever), and the Panthers have never developed a wr. Hes the same guy hes always was. Only blame you can lay on Devon is taking free money. Blame gettelman..

I had really hoped that Funchess had turned the corner last year. But this year he reverted right back to his previous self. At the end of the day, you are what you usually are and Funchess is just a very inconsistent wide receiver both in terms of production and in effort. I honestly don't think I'd want him back even on a veteran minimum contract. He's going to be addition by subtraction.

    • So yes, him having his best game as a pro was a big part, but besides that him doing it while injured, while coming back into the game is a big difference.  Yea he has come back and played in games when injured...but he also in those cases have come back in and stunk up the joint like so many times he has in the past and THAT is what makes it different.  
    • I don't think deep in the fan sense matters much, honestly. I still think he needs to be able to consistently place passes well up to 20 yards and that's what is more critical. He did that yesterday - he was basically 7/11 on passes 15-25 yards and that's good enough that it also opens up passes all over the rest of the field. In week 10 he was 1/2 in that range; week 9 2/3 with an int; week 7 he was 0/4.  Anyway we need more of that... He needs to be stressing defenses past the sticks for us to open up the rest of the offense.
    • That depends on the factors involved. Quite a few of the shorter passes that we do throw the "check down" is one of the first 1-2 reads. One could argue that could be because of Bryce but that's really almost impossible for us to know without Dave Canales essentially telling us that directly.
