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

Fair enough, but I think they were treating Ginn as that Vet #2 guy you were talking about from the get-go which is why they were so less panicked about getting another WR than everyone else. From all reports, it seemed like Ginn had the #2 spot locked up in training camp until Funchess came into his own with Brown and Cotch splitting time at 3 in the slot. 

There's also the possibility that they kicked the tires on one or most of the guys you listed but a deal couldn't be struck due to Gettleman not overpaying for guys like them. If you will remember it came out the offseason afterwards that Jacoby Jones came into visit the Panthers and was deciding on them and the Ravens the year he signed with the Ravens and they won the Super Bowl. 

Ginn had it locked up because of how terrible his competition is.  He's a 3/4 on any other team in this league.   Funchess was supposed to be the #2 here but he got hurt and isn't up to speed.   And in this day and age, you usually hear about people showing up for visits.  The guy played dice and lost, that's all there is to it.

Counter argument:

He didn't lose because we haven't lost yet. Could the WR play better? Absolutely. Is it a weakness? of Course. Is it the reason we have lost games so far? Nope, because we haven't lost yet we're 4-0 and everything is amazing and I can't hear you lalalalalala

      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.
