What happened to Funchess?

I remember last night that Funchess was in the slot and beat his man by 5 yards on a crossing route but DA decides to target Greg that is being blanketed by a S. Funchess would have been running for miles. I hope he does not get frustrated and check out but I feel the team is stunting his growth. I feel like he and Shaq Thompson are in the same boat, I see them make a big play then they are subbed out for the rest of the series.

disagree about Shaq.  At least through games 1 - 4 his snaps were increasing every game.  Haven't looked at last night's snap counts yet...

Funchess is not even getting looks. It's either olsen or KB on every throw. Plus Ginn being the other starting receiver doesn't help. So he is only getting so many snaps since we only like 3 receiver sets anyway and forcing the run game. I have said for the longest this is a passing team that wants to force the run and it's turned  into a poo storm. That's all coaching.

Actually, not true in some of the earlier games, he had tons of snaps but very few targets.

I'm concerned that we're not spreading the ball around.  Don't seem to be throwing much to Funch or Brown, and not much to Ginn in the past 2 weeks either.  I'll try to post updated receiving targets & receptions tables later today if I can find a bit of time / energy

I was definitely exaggerating but yes, I agree.

Nothing has happened to Funch, he's been open in multiple games and on multiple possessions. Who is Cam and DA throwing or should I say forcing the ball to consistently? KB and Olsen. Either the QB are locking onto a few guys or the coaches are not calling plays designed for the other WR.

For Shaq it simply has to do with the offensive personnel on the field. We can't play 3 LB's against 3 and 4 WR offensive sets. The only way to keep Shaq on the field in that scenario is to sub out TD which might actually be a conversation worth having as it looks like father time is finally starting to catch up with him.

I love Shaq, but anyone with sense saw this coming when the Panthers picked him.

I'm thinking this is it for TD(this season).  Will be a very sad day, but necessary.  I honestly don't think Shaq will miss a beat when he steps in though.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
