Funchess Crow... I Want It All, and I Want It Now!

For a fan that has taken great pride in my layman's ability to evaluate talent from afar (especially my crown jewel - predicting Cam and Luke months before they happened), I have to admit...  i think it's safe to now say, I was wrong about Funchess.  I have been an imbecile.  I'm an idiot.  I was wrong, wrong, wrong.  He has seemed to turn the corner and I'm here to eat my crow.  Serve it up, please.

All Funchess needed to do was realize he was 6'4 225 lbs. He is finally playing to his size. That one catch on 3rd down where he boxed out the CB and snagged a ball thrown behind him was a man's play. Can you believe he is STILL ONLY 23?!?! He's younger than KB. He's not even close to his ceiling yet. Hopefully he keeps it up.

He hasn't been lighting the world on fire but has definitely been improving and has had a solid season so far. I think if we didn't have an offense that spreads the ball around so much right now that he'd be doing even better. Does seem like KB and Funch are now the 1a and 1b receivers instead of 1 and 2.

4 touchdowns in 2 weeks isn’t lightning the world on fire?

3. And no not necessarily. His yards per reception leaves a lot to be desired and hasn't topped 70 yet. He's had some great clutch catches for first downs and TDs for sure and is definitely improving in consistency but no he hasn't been lighting the world on fire.

Well to be fair there wasn’t much evidence he would turn it on like this, so many of us were down on him. Anybody can pick some young guys and say they’re going to break out and decent chance they’ll hit at some point. But kudos to Funchess for being that one that actually pans out so far. He really has turned it on these past two games. He’s been playing with serious determination. Hope he keeps it up. If so I’ll prepare a crow smorgasbord.

He had a very promising end to his rookie year and last year Cam never ever looked his way despite being open so I wouldn't say that this is all that surprising.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
