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.

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.

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.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
