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.

    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
    • He had the award until like the last 8 games. He sucked ass and flagg had 3 40 point games
