Start Funchess over Philly?

[Dunn]

Philly has had his drops come back to him the last 2 games, not feeling confident with him for the Playoffs, lets get Funchess in there.

Is there even gonna be room for Philly next season? Maybe he takes over Cotchery role.

Cot heft over Philly any day.

What's a "starter" anyway? This isn't basketball or baseball. Funchess could not be on the field on the first play and come in on the second. Doesn't really matter to me. Now, in a normal season with KB on the field you said, I'd like to see Funchess as the #2 or the #3 receiver (because that would usually have to do with where he lines up rather than when), then I could buy off on that. With the receivers we have, we don't have "starters" or really even #1, #2 and #3s - it's definitely situational and a group effort. So, should Funchess "start" over Philly? Depends on the play/package and even then it doesn't matter.

Don't see a need to change anything.  Besides, its irrelevant who starts.  Funchess will come in on passing downs, and that is what matters.

With Ginn in the slot running up the seam, deep...and Greg working the middle. 

Yessir!!!!  poo is gonna be too much to handle for the rest of the league.  We will probably lead the NFL is scoring again next season.

Starting is basically who gets the most snaps, I want Funchess to get more snaps than Philly

A WR corp going into next year of KB, Funchess, Ginn, Philly, and Cotchery/FA is way better than what long-term fans have become accustomed to.  Throw in Olsen, Dickson, Stewart, a solid O-Line, and the reigning MVP and it's an offense that will be reckoned with.

Bruh don't forget the project Norwood, who huddle thinks is one of the up and coming legit players in NFL. Then you got Stephen Hill...isn't cotchery up after this year too?

Seems pretty obvious that it would be Funchess.

Philly has got to stop letting passes get underneath him like that, I can't tell you how frustrating it was watching that.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Ideally. Funchess has the size to be that possession type receiver. Ginn is already the deep threat. It would be great if he took his role and does a great job during the playoffs. Unfortunately he's still a rookie. Playoffs for him is a foreign subject. He's going to get all of his experience right now. Ginn has playoff experience, so does Philly. I'd give Brown the edge just solely on experience. I'm not saying not to use Funchess, but starting may be asking a little too much at the moment.

Oh ok. That's not what a "starter" is to me, but with that definition I would agree. 

[TheWiz]

It aint broke.

I think Devin actually gives Cam a nice option coming out of the slot. He's big enough to catch those fast balls from Cam in a zone defense. I dont think its so much about starting as it is what we like to do with our scheme and rotation. Devin had a slow start but has come along nicely this year maximizing his role. Its not he can't do it. Its just not the time to do it.

Who starts in Basketball is even less important than it is in Football.  But otherwise, I agree.

I thought the whole point of drafting Fun Fun was because he is such a matchup nightmare.  Line that boy up wherever it is that creates the best matchup.  Ourside, inside, at TE or beside Stu in the backfield. 

We're already the most unconventional offense in the NFL with what Cam can do.

Just think that he overperformed a bit last season.  There are reasons that guys aren't drafted usually, sometimes those players can surprise you and become good players, but not normally.

Philly is what he is, unless he do what most WR's can't, and improve his hands tremendously, he will be a no. 4 or so guy.  Also, him getting better on ST will lengthen his career.
