Devin Funchess or Dez Bryant?

Funchess looks like he has regressed this year. I honestly believe if we replaced Funchess with Dez he would upgrade our offense. The drops Funchess has had this year is unacceptable. I think Dez would be more reliable even though he is older and doesn't have any upside. I honestly think we should consider bringing him in. Cam knows him and vouched for us to sign him when he was released. If nothing else he brings emotion to the offense which we lack at the WR position.


Am I crazy, or are you guys buying what im selling?

Cam and Dez would be terrible together for a lot of reasons.  One of which is Dez can't separate (not even as well as Funchess).  Two is because those personalities would be a ticking time bomb.

Cam is an alpha.  Dez acts like he's an alpha.  The second Dez says something, it won't be pretty.  And I'd rather not mess up the team chemistry because that is one thing we have going for us: everyone loves each other and there is never any beef.  Rivera has created the perfect locker-room.

I don't agree.  He is getting about what we want him to get.  He dropped the first pass, and after that played pretty well.  Funchess has 14 receptions on a team that is in the bottom 10 as far as pass attempts, and throws more to the running back than any other team.  And he has a total of 1 dropped pass.

 Its the other receivers that aren't doing much, either because of the offense  or their lack of production or some combination thereof.  

 

He is not a deep threat nor a superstar, but he does what he is supposed to do.  I am not sure what else we expect of him.

Dez has been a shorter version of KB for a few seasons now. Dez plays a little bigger but his hands are worse. It's crazy how some people can't see this and want to live in the past with Dez.

Also, Dez has been waiting for a certain financial contract that we or any good team won't give him. His ego has cost him a contract and teams have opted for the cheaper rookie route than to bother with Dez

      Honest Conversation about Tulsky

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Sometimes it's nice to get an outside perspective on things we are emotionally invested in. NYT/Athletic did a midway breakdown of every teams' biggest offseason acquisitions. Here's our part: Notable additions: Nikolaj Ehlers ($8.5 million x six years), K’Andre Miller (acquired in exchange for a conditional 2026 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick and Scott Morrow) Early return: It took the Hurricanes some time to find Ehlers’ ideal lineup fit. He began the season on a line with Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, but that combination didn’t really click, with their marquee signing registering just four points in his first 11 games. Since then, though, Ehlers has settled in and found his groove. The dynamic, speedy Danish winger has scored 27 points in his last 31 games. He initially built chemistry with Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake, but with Jarvis’ injury, he’s been bumped back up to the top line with Aho and Andrei Svechnikov, with this new-look trio clicking impressively. Ehlers’ game-breaking puck-carrying ability has added an exciting new dimension to Carolina’s rush attack. He’s been a consistently dangerous play-driver (Carolina’s controlled 60 percent of scoring chances during his five-on-five shifts) and I’d argue his point production has actually undersold his impact on Carolina’s offense. Ehlers has collected a point on just 52 percent of the five-on-five goals he’s been on the ice for — he’s been snakebitten and has deserved to pick up a few more assists. I’m also still a fan of Carolina’s expensive bet on Miller. Yes, he’s made occasional mistakes and has been narrowly outscored during his five-on-five minutes despite his strong underlying metrics, but context is important. Miller was supposed to lead Carolina’s second pair, but Jaccob Slavin’s injuries (he’s only played five games this season) have forced him to take on a larger top-pair role. That’s meant eating a career-high 22:35 per game and handling some of the toughest matchups of all NHL defensemen. Miller has held his own in this daunting role, and I’d expect his performance to level up once Slavin’s return allows him to settle into the second-pair slot he was actually acquired to fill.

      Cam better be wandering up and down the sidelines as an honorary hype man/coach through the entire game Give Cam the halftime show (Cam IS the halftime show) Don't just roll him out with the drum and have that be it
