Really Good Write-up on Funchess and What He Brings


Recommended Posts

I'm glad he also says the Funchess to KB comparison is a lazy one. However, They both will have those open frustrating drops.

-At 12:03 Funchess whiffs on a ball you'd love to see him come down with.

-He makes up for it at 16:33 with a redzone TD

Funchess shows flashes of being a big physical WR...

-Funchess gets physical to try and create separation- 4:56 & 11:00

So many media draft analysts just piggyback off one another. I've seen "slow and big", "lacks short area quickness", "doesn't get separation", but when you watch his games from the past couple seasons, they prove these things wrong. He'll adjust mid air to balls thrown behind him, he'll come across the middle, he wins deep, he does so many things that I think will translate to the NFL.

If Funchess decides he wants to be a beast at the NFL level he has all the tools and athletic ability to do so. I'm very excited and really hope Ricky and company can get the very most out of him.

What I don't like about him, is he doesn't have that killer instinct when attacking the ball in the air like someone his size should. Kelvin has it, Jeffery has it, Megatron and Dez have it... All the elite and even 2nd tier big wideouts have that aspect of their game. Really hope Funch can develop it.

At 2:05 he goes up and gets it while reaching back.

And for that killer instinct... He blindsides the guy at 1:12... But 99% of the time his blocking is brutal

Watch the hips how smooth he breaks and change direction how low he gets when making a move and the slight use of his hands... Also notice the speed he gets on one guy when they play off coverage. Then the moves he already have to beat press coverage......This guy can be a number 1 wr... The next idiot talking head calling him a TE needs to be smacked...

    • Hunt is a killer loss. Hopefully we put Mays at C and BC at RG. Or I wouldn't be opposed if we slid icky to RG and put BC at LT. Highly doubt we do that though
    • Everyone knew Manziel was going to flame out, especially once the combine process started and all the stories from TAMU started to get to teams. Dude straight up did not know how to play football, how to read a defense, how to not do drugs. There were rumors that his family was involved in armenian organized crime that were pretty credible.  He was just that physically gifted in college; he had a huge arm, he could scramble away from anyone, and no matter where he was on the field he could toss up a jump ball to mike evans. Him beating Alabama was what caused Saban to finally get away from statue QBs and implement some RPO elements.  The way he played in college was never going to work in the pros. Even if he wasn't a polysubstance abuser and was cerebral and willing to put in the work, the best case scenario was always him sitting for multiple years and learning how to play football. He was off almost all boards, notably not Dallas tho.  This a true story. A homeless person approached Jimmy Haslam on the street and told him to draft Johnny Football. So the Browns did. That was just about the worst place he could have landed, he started right away, and the first time he tried to get to the edge against an NFL linebacker he realized he wasn't as fast as Luke Kuechly and he was injured and never really played again.  I was at this game.  Anyway, great college player, absolutely deserved the Heisman, was never going to work in the NFL, hard to call him a bust just because the Browns reached for him and threw him to the wolves. 
    • Why not, it can't be any worse than the current pile of poo we have at MLB
