If KB acts like a child and our newly acquired speedsters get shut down because they lack size y'all will piss and moan for cutting Funchess.

Let's see the guy get a real chance first.

This forum is ridiculous 

 

First the KB overreactinions and now this?! Boston sucked given the chance to start. Funch had limited snap last year and still did most of them. God damn, this forum is unbearable at times

I think Funchess will be given the opportunity to prove himself, he was behind Philly Brown and Ted Ginn in snaps. If he does not perform in an increased role he will be gone. Tre Boston was given the opportunity to be the starter at S and he failed. Kony Ealy had a big SB pefromance and Jared Allen retired, Kony did not step up so he was traded. KB and Funchess are on notice but they should not be cut or traded this year

The fact he coudnt beat Brown and Ginn speaks volume, he is overvalued by Huddlers 

The hate on KB is unnecessary  for a guy who actually produces

Wtf

So I know that the Huddle is typically a place where people overreact.... but this lacks a lot of common sense. KB and Funch underachieved because the league wanted to humble the MVP last year. OH yea and o-line sucked too. The jury is still out on Funch but being the 3rd / 4th option means you're not gonna get a lot of looks.

Is there anything we can hang our hat on with Funchess other than his age?

I'd feel differently if he showed signs of improvement. He didn't. It was the opposite. He was awful last year. Truly one of the worst WRs in the league. This after an offseason when he was getting tons of praise for his development and was being talked up as a potential challenger to KB's #1 role. Then the season got here and... yikes. Just awful.

I just want to hear someone make an argument for Funchess that doesn't hinge on his age.

I'm not saying cut the guy right now, that would be crazy. No reason not to take him to camp. But, his job shouldn't be safe. If he's fighting for a roster spot and there's a better guy, forget the age and his former draft position. Keep the best football players.

Look at every other receiver's stats on the team, including Olsen. Everyone (including KB) was right around their typical averages. It was Funchess and Philly who fell off a cliff. Philly is gone. I don't think Funchess is safe.

Boston got 3 years, so will Funchess.

This.

Plus I bought a Funchess jersey.

Also how come no one has used "Fun Chess" to give him a nickname. Like "the Bishop."

Never mind.

Nope, the real # 1 is Greg Olsen but if we are talkng about WR strictly then it will got too Curtis or Ross

Benjamin is just little bit overwieght but  he will perfectly fine for camp.  

2015 season:

CAM:     3,837 yds   35 TDs

J-Stew:     989 yds     6 TDs

Olsen:     1104 yds     7 TDs

Ginn:        739 yds    10 TDs

Funch:      473 yds      5 TDs

Brown:      447 yds      4 TDs

KB (2014):  1,008 yds 9 TDs

 

2016 season: 

CAM:     3,509 yds   35 TDs

J-Stew:     824 yds     9 TDs

Olsen:     1073 yds     3 TDs

Ginn:        752 yds      4 TDs

Funch:      371 yds      4TDs

Brown:      276 yds      1 TDs

KB:            941 yds      7 TDs

 

If something happens to KB I believe Fred Ross will win the #1 spot and Curtis Samuel will be #2. 

Funches is good depth player but he hasn't lived up to his potential due to his limited skill set (even though DG claimed he could play all X,Y & Z.  

 

Numbers don't lie

Hell no. Too early. It's often said WRs need three years to get it. This year is make or break though.

Funchess is a bum!
