Crazy yet not so crazy theory on Funchess.

Even though he didn't light up the stat sheet yesterday, there is no denying that when it comes to the "eye test" that Funchess was more involved and made a pretty big impact yesterday, that was followed by a "break out" type of performance the week before. Is it a coincidence that Funchess is starting to have a impact right down the important stretch at the half way mark?

Well I have two theories. A. I think the coaching staff knew all along that Funchess could be a impact player but they didn't want the cat out of the bag so soon so come the 2nd half of the season teams would have to scramble and adjust their D  accordingly.

Now you might be saying "why in the world would we limit snaps for a WR of the coaching staff knew he could be a impact player?" Well my answer to this is simply Rivera knew the risks involved, he put his chips in and made a bet that Olsen/Ginn/Brown/Cotch could hold down the fort so to speak until we are ready to unleash Funchess and so far, Rivera seems to be winning that bet.

Also, another theory is the "rookie wall." This makes theory number 1 make even more sense, if coaches knew we had something special, why play him right away only to have him hit the dreaded rookie wall..

Now Funchess has had a long time to learn the offense, he's finally coming through and a lot less risk of him burning out this crucial stretch and in the playoffs.

Great post, would read again. If only I could figure out how to block your topics before I accidentally click into them.

There it is everyone. The first huddler to comment on an honest PU thread in attempt to put him down for no reason other then to collect pie. Congrats!

Yeah I hate when people do that too but to be honest..this is another stupid thread by him. Why in the world would you limit someone's snaps if they thought he could make an impact right away especially after losing our best receiver? There is no logic in this thread. They limited his snaps and are still limiting his snaps because he is not there yet, he still has a lot of room to improve.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
