What we really need from Funchess...

[Wundrbread33]

60+ catches 800+ yards 7+ TD's.

Now those aren't pro bowl numbers, but I see him realistically doing it, and I consider that balling for a rookie, and I also see that as all we really need from our best WR this year to be extremely competitive.

This production, along with Ginn back, and one of the next crop of WR's (Brown, Cotchery, Boykin, etc.) producing even marginally is all we really need at WR. 

Brown is in a big funk, but it is all mental right now. Cotchery had a down year this past year, but he has been a solid pro that gets open otherwise. Boykin has looked extremely reliable in preseason so far and seems to have great hands.

We certainly do not have an exciting group, but they are certainly a group you can work with.

 

...as long as Shula plays these guys to their strengths and puts them in position to succeed...quite the disclaimer there...

Whether you agree with the post content or not, at least there's something of substance to discuss. Your post is the one that qualifies as waste material, only worthy of a quick glance before you flush.

Honestly I careless about his stats as long as he helps us win games.

[Khyber53]

Would be nice if he set foot on the playing field before we started laying out what we need from him...

1009 yards and 9TD's or he is a bust!!!!! rawarwraraarw

We need him to not suck.  We are going to be okay.  One WR had a bad game last night.  Deal with it.  We can win with the guys we have, but we have to tighten up and get focused.

Not saying we shouldn't be concerned, but I am saying some of you should stop panicking.

Olsen - 1000

Funch - 700

Ginn - 500

Cotchery - 400

Brown - 300

Bersin - 300

Dickson - 200

RBs - 300

+_______________

3700

 

the above statlines are reasonable projections with a new improved offensive lines. that's a 3700 yard passing season for cam, which puts us up there with the 2012 offense. if funch boosts his game and breaks 1000, all things being equal cam would throw for 4000, back to the 2011 level.

if the funch turns out to be ineffective, take 100 yards off of each those receivers' totals and 3 wins off the board.

funch is the lynchpin to our season imo

Forget the stats, we just need him not to do what Philly did and be butterfingers

If Dickson is indeed improved, I could see him getting 300 yards if we decide to run more two TE sets with KB out. Cam did pretty well with those in 2011.

Bare in mind though, if Newton passes for close to 4,000 yards, that likely means our ground game is not doing too hot, which hasn't exactly resulted in a lot of wins for us. I would just be happy with a quality balance. But our run game is certainly going to be key.

we need Funchess to get on the field first before he can catch a pass that would be nice..

I'm not panicking. Was this in reference towards me? If anything I know there is more to offense than WR's, so I'm not concerned as we have talented backs and TE's.

He's already caught two.

Yay! We should be friends!
