This gives you absolutely nothing about whether they were good targets or not though. All you have is a percentage of targets caught. The reason for not catching them is nothing but a guess by the reader. Is there another source we can use to verify the numbers?

BTW, a 49.2% catch rate as a rookie is not really that bad anyway when you consider that he wasn't used to Cam Newton's fast balls and that a certain percentage of them weren't on target anyway. He can easily get back to that or top it.

Again, why was it only Funchess and Philly who were impacted by these bad targets? KB, Ginn, and Olsen were at or above their Panthers career averages in terms of catch rate. I think the most likely reason is that Funchess and Philly simply aren't that good. How many "horrible" throws to those guys may have been due to them not being where they were supposed to be?

I think you're giving Funchess benefit of the doubt that he hasn't earned.

Maybe it's because they rarely throw anything short to Funchess. Just watch his highlights. There are none of those little quick screens like Smitty used to catch all the time. It's all down the field.  Either way, he's better than you give him credit for.

No one was waiting around for Kearse. He was BEHIND Tate and Baldwin, do you understand this? Then in 2014 he was given his first real shot and he put up a solid 38/537.

Funchess has already been given the opportunity that Kearse had to wait for. Like LG said, Funchess has had more targets his first two years than Kearse did in his first 3 combined. Funchess has been given the opportunities Kearse had to wait till year 3 to get because of guys ahead of him. Funchess has had no one other than KB for one of the two seasons in his way and yet, he has never put up over 500 yards.

He was kinda behind Ginn and Olsen then KB and Olsen. So its kinda looks like Devin is further along but its hard to compare an udfa snap count to a 2nd rounders. In year two Kearse played 470 to Funchess 493.

I have never really considered Kearse to be good and in his 3rd year when he had 537 yards he played 793 snaps, lets compare that to this past season KB played 802 snaps and had 941 yards and Ginn played 688 snaps and had 752 yards. So his jump in yards was solely based off the fact that he played more. Funchess might be a little underwhelming but its hard to believe that if he played 300 MORE snaps he wouldn't get the 166 yards it would take for him to match Kearse year 3 total. 

And honestly if Funchess is worse then Kearse or if Kearse was our No 2 WR, we are fugED either way.

They can have Funchess 

Do you guys really watch the games?! It's like some of the things I read make my eyes bleed but I can't get enough smh..

Kearse is average & you hold him in such high regards.. the funchess slander must end smh..

[Hogmolliesmaht]

I still would like to know how that site counts targets and how to confirm those numbers. For instance, if Cam gets quick pressure, leaves the pocket, and throws the ball out of bounds to avoid a sack, does it count as a target if Funchess happens to be the closest eligible receiver to where the ball went out of bounds?

I just don't remember Cam throwing his way that much, especially last year. I do know for a fact that there were times when Funchess was open and didn't get targeted.

[Chief Keek]

Ah yes just what the Panthers need, another overrated Seahawks WR.

[Icege]

I'll let y'all figure out which one was Kearse and which one was Funchess, and then people can apologize for being dumb af.

If math is hard:
54 catches, 844yds, 9 TDs vs. 60 catches, 883yds, 5 TDs

Funchess has only 12 starts in the NFL so far and he only started 11 games at WR in college. He hasn't even gotten started yet.

One was a UDFA, the other was a raw WR/TE hybrid in college.

KB 1st Rounder, Olsen 1st Rounder, Ted Ginn Jr 1st rounder, of which the latter two had several years of NFL experience. 

It's common sense, it's fairly obvious you're trying to push your own narrative. Fact is Funchess, nor Brown received the opportunities as frequently as the others, beyond that 15+ ypc is damn good.

What's the point you were trying to make?

[Cary Kollins]

not sure what's going on but I always enjoy pointing out that Funchess is 23 years old, which is the age Kelvin Benjamin was his rookie season
