Keep in mind Jerry rice and TO started playing at age 23. Funchess is on pace to beat both of them in age 23 season stats 

Funchess (age 23) : 57 receptions, 762 receiving yards, 13.4 yards per reception, 7 receiving touchdowns

Rice (age 23) : 49 receptions, 927 receiving yards, 18.9 yards per reception, 3 receiving touchdowns

Owens (age 23) : 35 receptions, 520 receiving yards, 14.9 yards per receptons, 4 receiving touchdowns

KB has better jump ball skills

Outside of that Funchess is better than KB everywhere else

Hell, KB might be the best jump ball receiver in the league... which it's a damn shame we didn't utilize that nearly as much as we should have.  But yeah, that's about the only thing he's got over Funch at this point and Funch is the same age as KB was as a rookie.

Ive felt this potential in him the entire time. Knew he just needed opportunities. 

 

Thank you intuition you serve me well

A few of us defended him when the pitchforks were out saying his was young. Other than intuition you could look at his route running and his fluid movement/YAC potential and big frame to fill out(or trim up) and pretty good hands.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
