Going up against TOUGH competition with it being the last weekend before Christmas, Devin Funchess organized what turned out to be an award winning community event. An event I had the pleasure of being part of as the graphic/web designer. I also promoted the event in various places online including here in the forums. I told Devin directly that he wasn't much of a fan favorite in the Carolina Huddle message boards and his reaction was amazing. "Give them 100 free tickets" he said. "I don't want a down season to weaken the impact of this event. I'll cover the money for them, but don't mention that in the offer, just tell them FREE." I was like WOW.

Let me just tell you guys first hand, and I've been around a number of players (I worked for multiple marketing companies that do player events) and Devin is definitely in my top 2 or 3 as far as attitude goes. But anyway, on to his award:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Devin Funchess has been named Week 16 NFLPA Community MVP for holding a weekend of community events, including a charity cooking competition, a student essay contest on kindness and two toy drives.

“I want to thank the NFLPA for honoring me as this week’s Community MVP,” Funchess said. “It is a privilege to help bring joy to others, especially during the holiday season.”

The Panthers wide receiver channeled his love for cooking into a charitable event on Dec. 21 that positively impacted many within the Charlotte community. In partnering with The National Youth Foundation, “Cooking With Funchess” benefitted the lives of children through creative educational programming. 

The friendly competition among 20 local chefs gave attendees the opportunity to sample and vote on an array of “pre-game” appetizers, “gameday" main dishes, “sideline” side dishes and “end zone” desserts. Among the food and music entertainment, one area of the venue honored two local heroes from the police department and United States Marine Corps for their acts of service.

I wish him the best in his career going forward. Clearly, for whatever reason, it didn't work out here, but Devin is a good guy. Go to the AFC so I can pull for ya buddy

People forget we was having a decent season before Cam got hurt. Funch was on pace for a 1000 yard 75 reception season. People get on him about his drops but hey...the most drop passes usually come from the top receivers in the game.

Not saying Funch is a top receiver in this league but the way he crucified on this board is like he isn't even an NFL quality receiver. Terrible assessment.

I dont think most think that he isnt an NFL quality reciever or couldn't help this team going forward.  It's just the price tag many cant get behind.  I will say we had no answer for redzone threat when Funch wasnt in the game.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
