Unpopular question, perhaps a stupid thought, but...

Should we send Devin Funchess to the practice squad?  Right now, it's painstaking to watch his non productivity.  The main reason of course being, we literally have zero receiving production for most of the game.  Of course that's not to say Ted Ginn and Bersin made no contribution because they obviously have.  However, when you draft a guy in the second round (someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we traded up for him), you expect him to make some contribution, even this early in the season.  Here we are, dying for a receiver to step up, with the position practically begging for anybody to be the starter, yet Funchess is doing absolutely nothing for all intents and purposes.

 

All I'm saying is if he's not ready to the point of playing at least 20% of offensive snaps, with a squad where anybody could be our starter, then maybe he needs to be on the practice squad to give another guy a chance who might be more prepared to play.  By my count, we only looked his way two times yesterday.  One pass was batted away, and he dropped a semi-difficult pass in the endzone.

Putting a rookie second round draft pick on the practice squad would be the same as just cutting him, that's not at all in play.

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!???!

there, now I feel better.

He is a rookie.  Last years rookie class spoiled people.  This is the usual arc for a non 1st round rookie.

Yes, lets just waive our 2nd round pick so that any other team can just pick up for nothing. Great idea.

Oh yeah, I forgot teams could pick guys up off your practice squad I believe. (Though I wonder if they have to give us compensation if that were to happen.)

 

In that case, he needs to be inactive for a while or something.

Unpopular is a nice way of saying stupid now?  Now that is fascinating.

I'm starting to get the sense that Funchess was more of a Gettleman guy than Rivera, Gettleman fell in love with his measurables but the coaches have no idea how he fits or how to utilize him

I guess since Cam is playing well you've had to really dig deep and go to extreme levels of stupid to reach your thread quota for the season

[Jon Snow]

Cut him for who exactly?   You guys need to face facts and that is nobody is going to come in and be the number one wide out this week or for that matter this season.   We ain't rolling like that.  It's going to be by committee this year until KB gets back and the Don gets time to beef up the group.   Let it go.

[Crixtala]

extremely young, 2nd round draft pick WR to the PS = we never see him on this roster again

[Fox007]

He's 21...yup 3 years younger than KB....I think he's doing pretty good for himself...com eback in 3 years if he's not done a thing.

After all this time Huddle, you still manage to surprise me. SMH.

Oh yeah, it's definitely a Monday on the huddle.
