Devin Funchess

What is the deal here?  The hype Blewup this training camp how he may and some said did pass KB as #1

He has been a Ghost.  

Yesterday though i was baffled.  He was in at the start of the game and thought for a moment we may see the hype.  On the 2nd play of the 2nd drive he blew past his man like Julio abusing our dbs.  The falcons db grabbed ahold of him for dear life to prevent the td but drew the flag for PI (sadly we got a flag to causing it to offset).  At the end of the play I saw him get pulĺed off the field and rarely saw the field again until the end (mainly saw KB, Philly, and Ginn)

Towards the end after Cam went out.  Anderson came in and Funchess as well. Funchess again toasted his man and Anderson hit twice for 53 yards.  Afterwards once again you saw him get pulled out and saw to see a majority of the other trio

 

Is this kid in shulas dog house or something?

I'm not 100% but I think someone said he got a little banged up during the game.

Fwiw, lots of sacks and some bad passes have made it seem that most of our receivers are missing this year.

Cam hasn't been right since his ankle got nicked against Minnesota, so IMO, it goes back to that.  On the other side, Shula is doing NOTHING to maximize our roster, I'm tired of seeing Funch and KB on routes 30 yards down the field when slants and curls with guys that size against average to below average DB's is almost guaranteed yardage.  So basically, it's a combination of poor QB play and piss poor play design.

Yup bad OTs and a OC who is coasting on who his daddy is back in the day isn't going to be painting any pretty pictures too often..

The offsetting penalty was actually on Funchess for illegal motion.
Last week he dropped a critical 3rd down.
Funchess has potential but is inconsistent.
I have a Funchess Jersey but he has not lived up to the hype out of training camp, at least not yet.

He hasn't been right since Denver. But I agree.

Have we considered that he only looked good in camp because he was being covered by our CBs?

This! 100x this!

Funchess is a bust. We should've traded him. He's just another project. Blah blah blah. Trash trash trash. Pile on, pile on, pile on.

Far be it for anyone to have their own constructive thought. Let's just dog pile on people because that's what ignorant people do.

 

Now, Funchess hasn't be good but he hasn't be bad. When he's on the field you know it because he gets looks, but that's when he's on the field. The coaching staff still trots Ginn out there more often than not so they keep the speed dynamic. Then they play Philly in the slot because he has the speed and quickness to play the slot the way they want him to. They are in no rush to put him on there for more snaps. Why? Tough to say but he has plenty of room for improvement but he's on the right track. Not everyone can come in and be a beast on day 1. I wish they would so the typical lynch mob butt hurt fans could find something more interesting to do with their time.

No one is playing good right now. Well except for Kuechly and TD.

Funchess had two big pass interference calls go his way, unfortunately one was cancelled out. He actually had a decent game yesterday. Showed a spark

You beat me to it!! I was thinking the exact same thing.

Honestly, I think a case could be made in both ways.  He had 111 Passer rating vs SF, 350 yards, 4 tds and 1 int and against Minn he was like 7-7 with a TD against minn before the injury then absolutely fell apart.  I think it was Voth that pointed out this play, and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.  He doesn't look right running now and his footwork is worse than usual which both of those could be attributed to an ankle injury.  His concussion could be a blessing in disguise because of the kind of competitive streak he has, it could FORCE cam to sit out and get really healthy.
