Funchess losing snaps weekly

[Jmac]

Per Black & Blue review. His snap count is now at 30% (three fewer snaps then the Seahawks game),  It appears that the confidence level the coaches have in him is waning. Bersin has only five snaps since Cotchery has returned. At this point, I would like to see Bersin instead of Funchess. Funchess is more athletic and a bigger target no doubt. But what good is it if he isn't making plays.

Funchess goes over the middle and drops balls, Bersin does the same but makes the catch. Funchess has time to develop and he just isn't ready yet. We need all the play makers we have on the field right now. Some will say Cotchery and Bersin are the same player. Yes they are (they both catch the damn ball)  When they rotate Cotchery out, I would rather have Bersin in right now. First downs are first downs.

Funchess needs to change his number, Legadu's stank is still all over that jersey.

Funchess was a project WR.  I think the coaching staff knew when we drafted him, it would take a year or two for him to produce.  The kid is only 21 years old and has a lot of time left on the team to learn the ins and outs of the position.  It is unfair to judge him this year, being thrust into the starting role due to Benjamin's injury.  Hopefully, things start to click by the playoffs.

So you're saying Funchess's jersey smells like Legadudu?

Or maybe they ran the ball a lot against teams with strong secondaries.

Another drop for Funchess, this one from the WR rotation, though.

I agree he hIs a project.  Don't force the issue with him this year. K.B will be back next year and Funchess will have a young mentor to learn from (along with the vets that may still be around). No reason to push it, he is not ready.

I had to check to make sure Bersin was still on the roster. Haven't seen him lately. Your stats would indicate the staff has even less confidence in him than Funchess. 

Here's another possibility. Ginn has been catching the ball well lately, and we all know Olsen is the 'go to' guy, so with an offense that doesn't throw a ton of passes, there are only so many to go around. I think loss of confidence may be speculation on your part, rather than dead cert reality.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Not a surprise. He's been real fuging bad, just like his last season at Michigan. Have Proehl work out with him from Sunrise to Sunset every day and hope he can become that number 2 guy that we desperately need.

[Stewart up the middle]

At 21 years of age, funchess is a baby. We have to give him time to grow up; I agree that until he has grown, I would prefer to see bersin or even joe Webb as opposed to funchess, especially when we are talking a key third down. 

[Dunn]

with that being true, I don't see him finishing this season on a high note and really needing an off-season or two to really gain traction...seems like WR will be high on the draft board again this year.

[Silent Majority]

Some people are just fuging silly.

[csx]

The offense as a whole had 12 less snaps so obviously his snaps are going to fall as well. I'm surprised nobody including Voth accounted for that.

 

His % of total went up over last week.

[TheRed]

Giving up on him now certainly isn't going to help his confidence. He can run the routes, he can get separation. Keep going at him.

Main thing I would like to stop seeing right now are these tipped passes.
