Man Funchess Stats are way out there

That’s funny, but I will say I’ll eat my crow. 

I was pretty vocal and not happy with what he showed the first year or so. I’m happy to see what he is turning into. 

His first two years stats looked like this...

2015-2016

56 Rec 782 Yards 7 TDs 

2017

31 Rec 473 Yards 5 TDs

On a serious note with Funch, he is not playing any differently than he has his whole career, he's just getting more time on the field and he's being put in position to be the 1st or 2nd read more often. Funch is a good WR and has been since he got here. 

I know it seems like I'm needlessly defending the guy, but I get tired of the "he's finally playing really well for us" talk. No, he's playing the same he has since he got here (although he's obviously gotten better since he was drafted, but you get what I'm saying). He's never had an issue with dropping balls, he's never had an issue with running bad routes. He's never had an issue getting open pretty consistently. The areas he "struggles" are where every receiver struggles. Having his hands or arms hit while trying to reel in a pass. And even in those situations, he's winning some. Funch is a solid #1 option for us and I'm glad some of the people here are starting to come around on the guy.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
