And by that I mean, he's gong to be a swiss army knife

 

I fully expect him to be used inside more than out wide, but more than anything, he's going to be used as a misatch option. TE, WR, Slot. Wherever he can create a size/speed mismatch, he'll do it.

 

He's not a burner, hell he'll have trouble getting separation from a lot of DBs, but one thing you need to know, he's not as slow as  his combine tie, not as fast as his proday time. But what he can do s impressive -- He can outsize people, he can make impressive catches using his long ams, and, probably most impressive, he's agile and strong enough to make people miss and pick up YAC

 

I still fully expect us to take a pure WR if one is available honestly, probably a pure deep threat/playmaker, but Funchess is so versatile you can see why Gman loves him.

Horrible comparison by Mayock.

Jimmy is 3 inches taller. 30 pounds heavier. Ran a faster 40. Has longer arms.

Funchess may be a fine player. He's not Jimmy Graham.

 

No, I'm not saying he'll be Jimmy. He's obviously not.

 

I'm saying he'll be used in the same way you guys used him

Of course people are going to compare him to a several time Pro Bowler, even though it's statistically more likely that he's just another NFL bust. I don't think people realize just how rare it is to get a player like Jimmy Graham.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
