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.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
