Devin Funchess may be better than we think

Do we pay him or let him walk if he has 79 catches 1080 yards 6 tds this season?? 

 

We will likely pay him, and Williams next season.  I could certainly see a tag situation if we can't sign both.

That said, we have to be smart, and if Moore turns into a player, we could have two good WR's signed long term on the roster...something we haven't had in quite some time.

I think that this year is going to tell a story about where his ceiling really is. And for me it's not necessarily about all production---because the more the pie is shared, the less you get---but about how he plays. I want to see a progression in route running and making big plays, including in the end zone.

Yeah still can’t beleive he didn’t catch that hail marry. Thought he would catch it and then there would be PI

 

also wow AJG is getting disrespected. Still a true wr1

[Jeremy Igo]

He has all the physical tools in the world. I'd just like to see him get more aggressive.

I do agree that the day of WR1 studs like Moss, Irvin, Brown and Megatron are not as littered around the league. I think Funch will make huge strides in this offense and put up 1k yards and 8-10 TDs this year. I saw a switch flip with him last year where he stepped up. He played through injury, understood his importance amongst a bunch of raw players and really shifted his game as 'the guy' when KB was traded.

I don't know what to expect in Norv's offense..... I feel like, as others have said, that Cam will be the star in this offense dishing the ball out to a number of receivers. Much like the NE and GB offenses that rely on strong QB play, scheme and players that fit the style of offense, I think there is no need for a 'WR1' here. 

That being said, I think Funch is hitting his prime and his stride after learning the position more and while the CMC's, Moore's and Samuel's are carving up the speedy flashy focal points, I think Funchess will be that Moose 2.0 

[Skack25]

Top 10 in the league, not including chances against NO when the game is one the line.

[panthers55]

Considering our record developing wide receivers, I think he has done well and improved each year. He will go as Cam goes. 

[Khyber53]

Just watch. He's going to be great this year.

[KendrickPanther]

I think he could be a Probowler. On the Packers he's a Probowler.

The inverse of that is it often means he's not getting enough separation which is why it was contested.

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

What was wrong with his shoulder towards the end of last season? I know he was having issues but how bad was it?

I consider that at least like 1200-1300 and 7 TDs. Don’t really see that happening with Moore in the fold, Olsen back, McC in year two, Byrd and Samuel back, etc. The only player I see on offense putting up big numbers is Cam. The rest have too much competition for targets. Which is a very very good thing for our team.

That's how I feel about it.  If Cam gets over 4000 yds the distribution is only stats.

or defenses are keying in on him being a legit threat....leaving him with less opportunity to get separation.
