So does everybody really think Funchess won't amount to anything much more than what we've already seen? 

I honestly don't know how I feel about him....I tend to be optimistic and remind myself how young he is, but it seems the general consensus on the forum is he sucks, haha

I still believe him. He did take a step back in his development after coming on strong in the latter part of the 2015 season for example his game against the Packers. Also, we heard good things about him in training camp. My issue is that if he preformed well in training camp why did they have him behind Philly Brown and Ginn in regards to snaps. I think with an increased role we will see better production.

I tend to agree.  If he doesn't progress in about every aspect this season, I'll probably start to change my tone though because he should have ample opportunities this year with Ginn and Philly gone.

I think it's a make or break year for him. If he doesn't improve then they will probably look for his replacement come next year.

The bold. I don't see what the negative comments about this kid is about. Wasn't he like the 4th or 5th option, including Olsen? Hope he gets more opportunity this year to shine and display his talents.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
