Realistic Expectations For Devin Funchess This Season

[Mr. Scot]

Realistic expectations?

In this forum?

700 yds. 50 rec. 5 tds

Well Getts thought what would be available 16 picks later was worth our 3rd and 6th round picks.

That's a lot of value.

So I expect this guy to produce, and do it early.

This isn't Marty Hurney Everett Brown stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope.

fug the Saints Bucs and Falcons.

That's all I got.

[Rags]

500-600 yards, half a dozen TDs.

[CarolinaNCSU]

500 yards, 4-5 TDs.

 

KB will get 900-1000 again

Olsen will get 750-800

Ginn will get 300-400

Philly gets 300-400

Dickson gets 200-300

Randoms get 200-300 yards

 

That would put Cam around 3,500 or so I think

[JARROD]

I think he gets 500-600 yards and 4 touchdowns.

I may be being a little hard on him since I was strongly against taking him at 57 before the draft so you can understand how I feel trading our 3rd for him, but I'm optimistic. If he can put that up I'd be ecstatic. May be a little unreasonable for a 2nd round rookie WR (last year's insanely good WR class has expectations for rookie wideouts higher) but if he goes under 600ish and 5 TDs, I'd be extremely disappointed. 

 

Gettleman used words like "upside" and "potential" with him. Mike Mayock used phrases like "better pro than college player". Based on what I'm reading he has superior movement skills to Kelvin. That's fluid running, change of direction, and leaping. He's slightly less gifted in terms of size. 

 

I don't think we can expect an insane rookie season for him simply because we gave up so much to get him. Gettleman wanted him more than a 3rd and 6th round pick based on the way the draft was going. That is really all it comes down to.

I don't know man.  Maybe you should lower your expectations a bit.  I just think there's other factors to consider.  First, we're a run first, pound the rock, ToP offense.  Second, if he does turn out being our #2, he will still have to share touches with two 1,000 yard guys.  You know KB and Olsen will get the lion's share, due to Olsen being Olsen, and KB being our clear #1.  Then you start sprinkling in Dickson in 2 TE sets, or our 3rd WR.  If we have that amout of viable targets, I can see the ball being spread around quite a bit, not unlike our 2013 season, when we had like 4 guys hovering around 600-700 yards each(though I'd hope it would be a bit more this season).  That's not even considering RB's getting passes either.  I think D-Will had nearly 400 yards receiving that year.

800 yards....

No...

1500 yards

No...

TEN THOUSAND YARDS

Haha, looking back at the realistic expectations for Benji thread I said "At least two game winning touchdown catches." I don't think he had that, but he certainly exceeded most all of our expectations. 

 

As far as Funchess, I say 50 catches, 800 yards, 6 TDs. More than his own production though, I think having him opens up the rest of the passing game and gets Cam back to Chud era yardage, ie over 4,000.

OROY (and Shaq will be DROY)

I think he does better than Armanti Edwards and Dwayne Jarrett combined.
