Funchess the next Moose?

Or the next Jarrett?

 

Both Funchess and Moose are from Michigan, one played for Michigan State the other for Michigan, both second round picks. On the field both play kind of similar but Moose hardly ever dropped anything.

 

Funchess was picked 41st, Moose 43rd and Jarrett 45th

Karl Hankton is on some beach somewhere shaking his head....

 

Haha why do you say that?

I was just telling someone about how he made a career out of being slow, but smart and taking the most out of what he could get though. (well at least in his time in CAR)

hoping he'll be more than Moose

202 games, 860 catches, 11,500 yards, 62 TDs in 14 years is a pretty dang solid career, particularly when 3 of those years were spent in the receiver wasteland that was Chicago (not so much these days). Being more than Moose would be a heck of a pick.

I dont know, from the footage I've seen feom this guy in pads, he looks like he could dominate..just sromp all over DBs.

I dont recall Moose doing much of that...Moose was a great complimentary possession receiver, but never a dominant DB crusher that had the chance to be our #1 receiver.

There's definitely a difference between the two. If Funchess becomes a film room junkee and a weight room warrior, he very well could beat out KB for #1 and the sky is the limit.

    • i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games. 
    • If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.
    • Love the way Duke came out and dominated Elon in the second half. Did not love the way they played at all in the first half. Got a lot of missed tackles on film for this week and the next game's not gonna be easy at all.
