Can someone explain the Huddle's obsession with this kid? What has he done since he's been in the league?

Played in terrible offenses with quarterbacks who can’t throw accurately over 15 yards and gotten injured just about every year.

i think that sums it up

Youth (only 24), production and fit (compliments Funchess on the outside).  There is injury risk and the price tag would hurt though (mainly due to comp picks).

look at the QBs he has played with

The guy is immensely talented and has matured at lot since entering the league

I would be beyond thrilled if we got him, he and Cam would put up numbers.

I am not so sure about Sammy and Cam putting up numbers.  Since Cam entered the league, he has thrived with fast wide receivers.  15-1 came with Ted Ginn, Philly, Funch, and Cotchery.  Olsen was the stud in reception yards.  Sammy ran a 4.48 at the combine, and has had multiple injuries in first 4 years, which leads me to believe his speed has decreased.  I am just skeptical at this point about the obsession with Big slow instead of short fast.  My call is Mike Wallace for a bargain, and let Funchess have 1 more year to prove it.  Good depth and field stretching guys will improve run game and give Funch better opportunities.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
