A Funchess Reminder


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Last year Funchess was about as green as a NFL rookie can be. Not much football experience under his belt.

We saw him grow from week to week and by the end of the season he was a solid piece of the puzzle.

Fast forward to September when he has a full season, post season, another entire offseason under his belt.

Thia year,I suspect Devin will be as big of a receiving threat as KB was his rookie year.

 

That is all.

He was green coming in and he missed a lot of invaluable reps in camp with hamstring issues.  

Expecting a breakout year for Funchess.  

Could be Cam's year if the WR group lives up to potential and avoids injury.  

Hopefully with the big WR tandem Shula will install a few more quick hitters to alleviate some of the QB pressure.

I like Funchess, but we have a lot of WR that are the same size, speed and skill set.  We needed a true route runner with speed--i.e.. Shepard.  We needed DLine help and CB/S help and we got it.  But we totally ignored the fact that Denver bottled up our WR and they got no separation, hence exposing our second weakness--the Oline.  We did not address either.  Ginn is gone after this year and we have no replacement.

Yup. And I don't get why everyone is so quick to get rid of Philly. That sumbitch is slowly becoming a pretty good WR.

takes a little while to get use to those missiles Cam throws.

And Philly figured out how to beat the dropsies between preseason and regular season.

The competition between receivers should be interesting.  I hope that our coaches allow evolution to take its course and don't come in with preconceived notions. 

YUP, counting the 2 UDFAs we'll be signing, we have  11 WRs on the roster:

Benjamin, Kelvin
Bersin, Brenton
Brown, Philly
Byrd, Damiere
Funchess, Devin
Ginn, Jr., Ted
Hamilton, Cobi
Hill, Stephen

Norwood, Kevin

Garrett, Keyarris
Stoshak, Jenson

it is of my opinion that our will was broken in SB50 when Philly was thrown out of the game. He was our only movable piece on offense and he excels at that roll.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
