Garrett > Funchess?

I've watched Garrett's highlights for last season and the game against Oklahoma. Am I crazy, or does he look like a better long term prospect than Funchess? Funchess is a great guy and made progress last year, but I don't know if he's a legit number two. 

I see good hands, good speed, burner catches, sideline catches, catches in traffic. Just don't know about the route running...need to look a little deeper. 

Am I crazy?

For using highlight videos, as a basis for determining whether or not a rookie WR, is a better prospect than someone who's already on the team?  Naaahhhh

Funchess looks more athletic to me. He also appears to have more dawg in him. But of course that doesn't mean that he will ultimately be the better receiver.  If Garrett wants to be better,  he is going to have to put in the time and effort with the coaches,  playbook,  and show it on the field. For now, he is a limited route runner just trying to prove that he belongs in the pros.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
