If only Funchess could time a jump or didn't "lose the ball in the lights", 2017 might've ended so much better. 

Right. I still say if Funchess catches that ball (which he should have), then I fully expected that 2017 team to get back to the Super Bowl. It was amazing what Cam was able to do in that game with the scrub receivers available to him. I can’t even remember the name of the guy who dropped an easy TD pass on the 1st qtr of that game. Nvm, Kaelin Clay. Clay didn’t really see anymore action from any other team beyond that season.

Perfect example of the kind of game Cam never got enough credit for. Fall behind 21-6 on the road in NO, with no ground game beyond an over the hill JStew and never used CMC, with Funch, Clay, and Bersin the top 3 WRs against a good Saints D.  CMC had his huge catch and run and Olsen was his usual self, but Cam damn near willed the team to the win and arguably out-dueled Brees in his house in the playoffs.  Not to mention the shoulder was becoming a potential issue by this point.  A legit WR on the team that year and competent offensive coaching could've led to great things.

Cam showed that he didn't need a true #1 WR. The front office decided we needed to use resources for a top tier receiving threat, while Cam showed us time and time again that he needed a competent offensive line first and could make due with a bunch of JAG receivers. Give him a burner to keep the defense honest (even if he dropped the ball 50% of the time) and sure handed WRs/TEs. Iffy handed guys were quickly exposed by Cam and that cannon on his right shoulder.
