First Look - Devin Funchess

I don't know what it is, but I've got the weirdest feeling that Funchess is going to explode for us and be the perfect WR for Cam. It's going to be hard for me to contain my excitement about him after I've built him up in my head since last week. 

 

 

KB was pretty great for a rookie last year, but if he ends up being our #2, I won't hate it.

I guess to clarify my earlier comment about WR 1 and WR 2 I should clarify what those numbers mean to me (besides not much). The WR1 (in my opinion) is considered the Z wide receiver. This position is the WR that is usually the one who is off the line of scrimmage (allowing for a little buffer to avoid jamming). This guy is the one who is your "best" guy. But none of that is in stone. WR2 being the X receiver who is lined up on the opposite side and on the line of scrimmage.

 

I see KB as liking, inviting and even wanting jamming in press coverage against him because he is so physical. Even Bene said on the podcast that KB and Mike Williams were the only receivers he's ever seen that liked being jammed. To me that makes KB the X receiver. Leaving Funchess as the Z receiver.

 

So while saying 1 and 2 kind of implies best and 2nd best, to me, it's really about how they line up and how their game is different. I'm not saying KB isn't as good as Funchess. Hell..I don't know if he is or isn't (Funchess hasn't seen a single snap yet). I'm simply saying that I see KB as a natural X/WR2 receiver.

 

Hopefully this year they both explode and form an amazing tandum regardless of where they line up.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
