Schein weighs in on Panther chances sans KB

That's an empty suggestion if I've ever seen one.

Only on a Panthers message board will you see anyone thinking we can get over 9 wins lol. We are nothing special I think people forget we weren't even .500 last year.

I tried to post a pic saying how Adam Schien can eat a bag of dicks.

I agree with the sentiment, and couldn't resist the empty post. lol

We were only going to be 7-9 before this, so now we're 6-10. 

Experts gonna expert.

Experts are so stupid,

They still think dallas will go to the super bowl again

Best case scenario: Fuchess comes out and has a similar season to what KB had last year and we make playoffs.  KB comes back next year fully healthy and we have to all pro WR's plus Olsen.

To extend your point, if I may:

Funchess is raw, but arguably not as raw as Benjamin was.  Benjamin has a slight advantage in the physical tools, but Funchess is not far behind.  I am guessing the difference between the 2 as rookies will be 200 yards or so.  If that is the case, you are talking 12.5 yards per game.  Red zone?  The way Funchess uses his hands to high point the ball, I say it could be a wash. 

Now lets look at the other differences:

QB

2014 Cam (, no offseason, limited preseason, hurt, no chemistry with stable full of new WRs) vs. 2015 Cam (Healthy, better leader, entering his prime, knowledge of every WR in camp)

Other WRs

2014 Cotchery, Avant, Underwood, Bersin, etc.

2015 Funchess, Cotchery, Brown, Ginn

OL

2014 T: Bell, Chandler, late addition-Remmers

2015 T: Oher, Williams, Remmers

2014 G: Silatolu, and I can't remember the RG--was it Scott?

2015 G: Norwell, Turner

The difference between Benjamin and Funchess is offset by the improved WR corps.  The OL is better, the RBs are better, and the QB is going to be improved.  If Vegas has the over/under at 8.5 (they did at one point), take the over.

 

Great addition. Much better position for Funchess than KB. Plus, Funch didn't really have a real good QB in college.....so it's kinda unknown his full ability.
