Funchess getting pushed around still


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Just the league trying to keep the panthers from winning but its not working lol this was the worst called game i have seen in a while. Funchess made a tough catch and to a big hit and got up with ball in hand. For being low on the depth chart right now to come off the bench its a positive.

Y'all trying to counter what Jeremy is saying...   He is a wide reciever.   He is supposed to make catches.  It's his job.  He caught ONE pass today, on one target.   That isn't anything to write home about.

The reasons he is struggling to get on the field and be a target once he's on it are why I didn't want him in the first place...   And yet, we traded up to get him lol.  So many guys we could have moved for other than him.   But as long as we keep winning, it really won't matter.

Also, after Ealy's continued suckage, I think it's appropriate to start questioning Gettleman's last two second round picks. 

 

Yeah and the season was over when Benjamin got hurt.  I just thought it was funny that Zod made this thread and then Funchess made a bad ass play immediately afterwards.  That is all.

Yeah, he only had one catch.

But it was a boss ass catch. He got drilled over the middle; took that poo like a man and held onto the ball, and there was an additional 15 yards tacked on.

He showed more on that play than any other WR has this season.

NOW does anyone want to say that "no one" is worried about Funchess?

I normally like OP's threads but this one is awful.

Hanging onto that ball, after that hit, was enough for me to give him a B+ for the game and an A for toughness. He's still a question mark, overall, as far as how good he can be, but the individual aspects of his game look pretty good so far.

but if Bersin makes 1 catch on 1 target he is a "scrappy white guy"who's "a smart route runner and moves the chains" with his 13 receptions last year.

Looks pretty tough to me.

all I know is that he got absolutely demolished on that play where the personal foul was called. 9 out of 10 WRs in the league would have laid down for a while or been on concussion protocol. Not Funchess, he popped right up and gave an emphatic Cam-esque First Down move. I literally got up from my couch and was like, he finally arrived.

 

I expect more and more from him as the season wears on

Funchess is soft...? Did anyone see him getting absolutely hung out to dry and smashed and he bounced right up? Not sure if any other WR on the team would take that hit and bounce up like Smitty. He is out there about half as much as Brown. Panthers don't seem to use the depth they have.. during a long season keeping Stewart in the entire game when we have CAP and Wegher who might not see any action at all until someone goes down..

Inability to get off a jam is not the same as being soft. I don't think anyone questions his toughness it's more about not being able to handle the adjustment to the more physical pro game.   

 

He's a rookie. A young rookie. It'll take time.

    • They have been link to the FL kid, lots of attention - Cam jackson Draft Profile: Bio A mountain of a man who took the long road to SEC football, Cam Jackson's journey from Haynesville High School through Memphis to Florida shows the steady development of a defensive tackle still scratching the surface of his potential. The Louisiana native spent three seasons with the Memphis Tigers, gradually working his way from special teams contributor to All-AAC performer, before taking his talents to Gainesville to test himself against college football's elite. The 6'6", 342-pound behemoth made an immediate impact in the SEC trenches, earning conference honors and establishing himself as a force in the run game. His senior campaign saw him rack up 37 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and his first two career sacks, saving his best performance for last with a dominant showing against Florida State that earned him a season-best 77.5 PFF grade. Jackson's development arc tells the story of a player who's consistently added tools to his toolbox. From his game-winning blocked kick as a freshman at Memphis to his emergence as a reliable run-stuffer in the SEC, he's shown steady progression. His invitation to the Senior Bowl marks a fitting capstone to a college career that saw him total 120 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks across 46 games between Memphis and Florida.     Scouting Report: Strengths Mammoth frame with rare length and natural anchor ability - carries 342 pounds remarkably well and uses his 6'6" frame to eat space and clog running lanes effectively Shows some nasty when stacking and shedding - violently disengages from blocks using powerful hands and impressive grip strength to toss aside interior linemen Natural power jumps off the tape in the run game - consistently stones single blocks at the point of attack and flashes the ability to split doubles Advanced awareness and play recognition for his size - keeps his head on a swivel and shows good instincts tracking the ball through traffic Length creates problems for shorter interior linemen - uses his wingspan effectively to lock out and control blockers before discarding them Better lateral movement than you'd expect - can work down the line and mirror zone runs despite massive frame Strong hands and wrap-up technique as a tackler - when he gets his mitts on runners, they typically go down on first contact Flashes some juice as a power rusher - can walk back centers and collapse the pocket when he times up his bull rush     Scouting Report: Weaknesses Conditioning is a major concern - visibly gasses out during longer drives and effectiveness plummets when forced to stay on the field Raw as a pass rusher with limited counter moves - relies almost entirely on bull rush and needs significant technical development Pad level becomes an issue as he tires - stands up out of his stance and loses leverage battles he should win Below average first step and explosiveness off the ball - won't threaten many gaps or disrupt blocking schemes with penetration Struggles to disengage quickly when squared up by double teams - can get stuck on blocks too long once engaged Scouting Report: Summary Jackson profiles as a developmental two-down run stuffer with the physical tools to grow into more. His combination of size, length, and natural power will intrigue teams looking for a rotational nose tackle who can anchor against the run while they develop his pass-rush arsenal. The stamina concerns will likely push him down draft boards, but his performance against top SEC competition suggests he can contribute early in a limited role. Teams running multiple fronts will particularly value his versatility to line up anywhere from 0 to 3-technique. His best fit comes in a defense that can utilize him situationally while their strength staff works to transform his frame and improve his conditioning. If he can maintain his play strength while dropping 15-20 pounds of bad weight, Jackson has the tools to develop into a reliable early-down defender with some untapped upside rushing the passer. With proper development, Jackson could follow a similar trajectory to players like Dexter Lawrence - massive interior defenders who learned to maximize their physical gifts while expanding their impact beyond just stuffing the run. His floor appears to be a rotational run defender, but his ceiling will be determined by how much he can improve his conditioning and technical refinement. A Day 2/3 selection feels appropriate for a player with his blend of immediate utility and developmental upside.
    • Hahaha luckily we didn't run it back with those guys. Plus D Brown is back healthy... So we should be improved a little, at minimum, hahaha
