More aggravating than the Funchess TD drop

[parker]

Just for perspective.  In 2001, Steve Smith was a back up WR to Muhsin and Donald Hayes.  He had 20 targets that year and 10 catches.  I have liked Samuel since the pick, but he was mostly injured last year so this is like a rookie season for him.  He and Moore are definitely the future of the team.

Well at least we know for sure we cant trust him to win one on one matchups. Good to know.

Look what Tyreke Hill is doing in KC... and then realize that he'd probably just be getting return duty and about 25 snaps per game at WR in Carolina.

Forget winning matchups, we can't even trust him to catch the ball when he's wide open due to a busted coverage.

Funchess has had a number of clutch drops, especially touchdowns and key first downs.

i don’t know why it was Funchess there and not Wright at least. Torrey makes that catch too— he’s proved it. 

When Torrey is back we have to go Moore Curtis Wright and Torrey as the 4.

I think it was an option, throw funch or boot out backside and walk in.  the walk in for cam was available...also funch was also available.

What is more aggravating? 

The fact that Funchess dropped the ball or the fact that we are calling plays where he is the only option to throw to? 

DJ Moore and Jarius Wright out there playing the role of decoy for Funchess.. That has to change. 

Why doesn’t CAM audible out of plays, is Norv restricting him at LOS?  

 

It’s a crime because Olsen & CMC should be the #1 option in the red zone with PA.

It was the right play. Funchess should have caught it. Perfect play design.

Wright Moore Torrey Samuel catch that ball,... it’s forcing Funchess to prove it, and he’s failing.

But I believe on the third and goal after DJ's run we actually ran a play in which Funchess was supposed to pick for DJ, but DJ fell down. Not sure bc I don't have all 22 but that play sounds like what you were looking for and we just had bad luck 

[Pbroszki]

That’s a catch any WR1 should make. Good play design, poor execution. I don’t think Bersin is the answer, although I’m 99% sure he makes that catch. Interested in seeing the role Funchess plays vs Seattle...

cant fault the play call, funch is our big and tall target and perfect for that playcall.  fug him for dropping it.

On the pre game radio show they were saying how funch was all excited about his moms baked goods.  wonder if he had to much and it effected him some how.

It’s also bad play design , bringing Olsen all the way across was pointless. They should have flipped him to  Funchess side so he can create separation by running away from the defender & giving CAM a hi-lo option.

Until after a loss and your name is Cam Newton.

Then you may as well go ahead and have Rivera Bus Tire Marks tattooed on your ass.

Not a Torrey Smith fan but, at this point, I can't disagree.

It won't happen though... you know that right?  You KNOW that it will be Funchess/Moore/Smith, don't you?
