Funchess is a soft bum.

Would not surprise me whatsover. He's a very fluid route runner. He would need a surgeon to bring the best out of him because he's not a "get up and grab it" WR.

Yeah was half joking and half serious... LaFell had a nice first year there but quickly flamed out so who knows. But if you think this, then seems like the beef should be with Cam/our coaching staff rather than Funch. If you have a player who isn't a get up and grab it WR, then don't utilize him in that role and set him up in space, etc. I think we'll do better going forward, this was the first trial with a brand new coordinator and against a very solid defense. Funch and the rest of the offense should be okay. Even with the injuries.

Lmao shut up. He's an NFL player we are not. If he's going to be compensated like one then he should play like it.

Always with the criticism on a player that does not play well he is a waste of time to even keep on the field or team. Funchess did make some good catches and he can play better in time. Not one person here can predict what any player can do in order to become a better player which he may do so.

Did you have a stroke while you were typing this? This is a Panther's forum. We discuss the Panthers. If you aren't here to talk about the Panthers then find the door good sir.

To his credit, Funchess played well in the 2nd half.

Agreed, considering it wasn't possible to play any worse than he did in the first half. Suppose I just have high expectations for him that he has yet to deliver on.

I guess I'm just looking at it from a completely different  angle. I never bought into the Funchess hype. He's already turned into a better player than I ever expected him to.

He was drafted in the 2nd round and we gave up a 3rd and a 6th to get him. You have low expectations my friend.

I never liked the pick. I was ready to write him off as a complete bust after his first two seasons. Now I'm just happy to be getting decent play from him.

I hated the pick which is probably why I'm so critical. But what really bothers me is that he has the raw ability but he just won't utilize it. If he can stop playing like a 12 year old girl then I'll be satisfied. It's a matter of effort.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
