I like Funchess, but I still see him as more of an Alvin Harper than a Michael Irvin.  the effort to make him a number one by trading Benjamin didn't really bear enough fruit to call it successful.

Disagree.

Interesting thing about it was that Funchess targets per game actually didn't change much after KB left.  In fact, it went down slightly.  Of course, injury and an improved run game had something to do with that, but I agree it didn't amount to much.

C.A.P. 

Spend Spend Spend

Ignoring the cap and its implications have ruined more teams than anything else

DG haters can’t stand the term “value”

between that and the “muh guy” crowd wanting to hold on to their favorite player that is past his prime.    Successful business people all.....I think not

Every receiver with feet attached to their legs and hands that catch should be in the discussion.

A complete WR overhaul is needed badly.

He did, but it's fair to say that Brees throws a more catchable pass than Newton.  Brett Favre's passes weren't exactly easy to catch either (he broke at least one receiver's fingers).

Not every receiver is gonna work well with a fireball throwing quarterback.  We have to look for receivers with tough enough hands to handle what Newton gives them.

 

Nonsense, they just need new gloves.

I wouldn't mind him but I like Donte Moncrief better. With a healthy Qb, Donte catches 60-62% of passes thrown to him compared to 58% with Mike Wallace. In comparison, Antonio Brown catches 68% passes thrown his way, Julio Jones catches 64-67% passes thrown his way when healthy.

 

Of course, it depends on the routes they have you run too. Ted Ginn caught 75.7% of passes thrown his way this season, a career high.

Actually 66%

Cam’s almost 30 and we’re still talking about how he needs weapons..

Funchess isn't a number one. We will make a mistake if we expect him to be

I'm not convinced of that. 

Whatever receiver we get has to be at least a strong compliment receiver  (#2). 

Funchess can ball, but he needs help.

You must not heard the Landry is looking to break the bank?

Even his agent said he is not taking a discount to stay in Miami. Landry will get 14 mil a year. Not even a player on our radar imo.

You must not have read my second sentence.

Brees puts it in the basket.  Cam makes you work for it and puts heat behind it.  Brees sees the WR getting open before he is, and Cam needs more time, which requires more mustard, hurting his accuracy and the accuracy.  Ginn did not suddenly develop hands .  Moncrief is a nice player, but he disappeared when Luck got hurt.  Same dynamic?  I dunno.

 

I guess you missed Brees throwing behind Michael Thomas on that key third down.

You don’t need to throw as hard when your receivers are running wide open all the time.

You guys make things so sophisticated.

 

Sign a burner for cheap like Wallace/Pryor and sign a guy with reliable hands for cheap like Crabtree.

It's really that simple. Cam has already made the Superbowl without a #1 WR. All he need is guys who can play their position and be reliable.

Pryor/Crabtree/Funchess/Samuel/Bryd is more than enough talent at WR. The problem last year was we had practice squad type WR's who were forced to start because of injury. I guarantee if we had a Pryor or Crabtree in the playoffs, we are still playing.

 

Just get Cam's some WR's who can play their role and be reliable.

I live in Redskins country and Pryor sucks.  He couldn't catch passes from Cousins and shied away from hits.  I'll pass on him

That's because the Redskins used him like a possession WR. Pryor is a deep threat, use him as such.

*You look like Lil Durk btw.
