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? 

 

I personally think he will have a better rookie season than Funch did. The key with him though is his health

Finally someone can get on board with this hot take.

Vindication.

I love Garrett's story.  Then again, I love a good story!  Funchess struggled, but got better and better as the season and post season happened.  Will Garrett come out and steal Devin's spot?  Doubtful.  Funchess is a pro at this point, and he's got some real experience.  Garrett has a lot of wonderful intangibles, but it isn't even rookie camp.

Let's at least see Garrett in the preseason.  If he comes out and dominates the preseason, then we could be having a different discussion.

Are you using a college highlight to show me why Funchess is a better pro? 

   As opposed to what you did in the OP to proclaim Garrett is a better player than Funchess. Hypocrisy much?

Maybe we should let Garrett make it through at least one actual NFL practice.

Historically, when huddlers have placed such lofty expectations on players, it rarely actually works out that way. In fact, you may have just cursed the dude before he ever even plays a down. Great job.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
