Are the Panthers receivers just average?

I feel like that's fair. KB is really good, but coming off a huge injury like he had is a reasonable question mark. Funch had a solid rookie season, especially the last stretch of games. Again, it's a little bit of a question mark because he's a second year guy with roughly four good games under his belt. I personally think he will be awesome, but I'm looking at this objectively. Then you have Ginn who is very polarizing. He can be really awesome and then you will be cussing him for a couple dropped passes. 

Next are the other guys. Hill will be a question mark for obvious reasons. (I'm still excited to see him play) Philly is solid but I think I read somewhere where they said he could be the odd man out. I don't see it happening but who knows. Bersin is clutch for a much needed first down grab and Byrd, well we will have to wait for pre-season. Long story short, it's fair.

If Funchess breaks out this year like I think he will and KB comes back to rookie form (without the drops), then I say we COULD be knocking on that top 10 door. Ginn is a GREAT slot WR for US and Philly Brown is a legit #4 (no matter what Huddlers say). Hill is that wildcard.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at this ranking.  I thought they'd have us more like 18 - 20.

Seems pretty fair to me as KB didn't play in 2015 and Funchess is still so young and developing.  We see all the potential, but based on actual performance, you can't yet rank our guys much higher than this.

I really can't wait to see KB & FUnchess together and the matchup nightmares it creates.  Assuming no major injuries, our 2016 offense will be even more a "pick your poison" situation for opposing Defenses than in 2015.  KB, Funchess, Olsen, Ginn, Cam & Stew all big weapons.  We've got size, imposing physicality, speed, ability to break tackles...

About the only thing we can improve on in our WR corps is better separation and more YAC.  But I think we'll start to see more of that with Funchess.

Can't wait to see how the #4 - #5 and possibly #6 spots shake out.  It will truly be a great competition in Camp!

If you want to judge them as an individual unit, that's probably a little high honestly.....if you want to include Stew, Cam, and Olsen into the picture...you know how football is played, they will all of a sudden look much better than average.

 

Cam is reaching a place where he is making those around him better...the great ones do that.

I think that's fair based on KB rehabbing and Funchess still developing. But I think  based on what we do and the combinations we can make based on skillset will actually make this group among the best in the league by the end of the season .

      I think it will be a transition year will be a playoff team (more grindy and young blood) but not a top contender... but in 25-26 back to being a contender IMO Nickishin will be ready to do day 1 IMO.... and if we can get some of these young guys the experience/development FUS/Blake/Nadeu/Morrow

      in itself i didn't/don't have an issue with this. And our main point has always been that we didn't want to be one of the go for it all teams at the deadline because we have a window that has term with Slavin/Aho/Svech/Jarvy.  however. keeping martinook above market value and not combining the youth influx with things like changing things at goalie and or signing a big name as a guentz replacement just feels like so far we're kind of sitting this out, and i really dont like the idea of taking a large step backwards from pre deadline roster last year. i understand we've given this a run with the same guys and it hasn't worked and changing some things there. but we also know exactly what our glaring issues are. so to not get better at those while also getting worse/losing big time names in other areas is pretty disheartening thus far. Hope there's more to come.

      It looks like next year is going to be the year that a lot of young guys get a chance.
