As far as Funchess goes...

My obligatory post reminding everyone he is only 23 yrs old.

He is 1 yr older than KB when he was drafted. Think about it for a second.

Kelvin was 23 when drafted, so Funchess in his third year with the team is the same age as Kelvin in his first. Thus, Funchess should have plenty of time to improve his technique and physicality as he is still growing into his frame, the problem is his contract is up soon.

BS. All he needs is for Cam to throw it to him more.

Quit gunning for me today. You took my (unclear?) reply 180 degrees opposite from how I meant it. I'm agreeing with you. What I tried, and apparently miserably failed, to convey was that any perceived or real prior inconsistency or underperformance doesn't mean a young guy like him is automatically a bust. However, now that you've got me thinking about it, I hope he's phenomenally better this year, especially with 88 out. Hell, I hope the entire team perfoms at an all pro level...even the waterboy.

Good find. However, the way I see it is we are either keeping Funchess or KB. With KB's 5th year option their contracts should come up at the same time. Assuming Funchess is progressing, we should be able to sign him to a reasonable deal and let KB walk who would cost a lot more. If Funchess still hasn't shown anything, we keep KB and let Funchess go. Everyone that says we don't need both of them will probably get their wish in 2 years.

Think the bills D was too preoccupied with mcaffery? Or just not that interested in funchess?

Some autistic on Reddit went over every one of his snaps last year on all 22 that were pass plays. 

He runs good crisp routes but the alarming thing is he's uncovered at least half the time. 

I think defenses just understand cam won't throw to him.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
