Funchess the next Moose?

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.

 

Moose was pretty damn good after the catch, he's also more physical, Funchess has the reputation for being soft and not using his size to his advantage

Funchess ran a 4.4 at his pro day. He is not slow. He's faster than Kelvin

 

IDK about that, Funchess seems to be more agile and accelerate faster but I never saw him beat anyone deep on the outside, When Benjamin was at FSU he constantly out ran DB's on the outside, he single handily torched the number 1 pass D in the country.

 

And pro days are timed by hand not laser, I think Benjamin has more straight line speed than him.

Man i hope this guy lives up to the crazy hype thrown at him, this website shows no mercy when you dont meet expectations.

 

yeah me too,  I keep hearing he might be better than Benjamin and I just don't see it. Benjamin has barely tapped into his potential and he had 1000+ yards and 9 TD. And Benjamin dominated in college after a slow start

Exactly, and while i think Funchess will be good i think he is kinda being overhyped so far off potential. We saw a lot more from Benjamin in college and people were on the fence when we drafted him but funchess has got crazy hype. Hope we do see it but i just want to see him play first.

Neither. Doesn't remind me of either.

How in the world can you look at DF and have those names come to mind?

In 20+ years of watching this team I don't know that I've seen a receiver with this particular set of attributes and skills.

Jeffers? Rocket? None of them have both size and speed. Funch has natural athletic ability that we just haven't seen in concert with his kind of size. Moose was a physical guy more akin to KB.

If this dude can put it all together he can be special.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
