Really Good Write-up on Funchess and What He Brings


Recommended Posts

I'm glad he also says the Funchess to KB comparison is a lazy one. However, They both will have those open frustrating drops.

-At 12:03 Funchess whiffs on a ball you'd love to see him come down with.

-He makes up for it at 16:33 with a redzone TD

Funchess shows flashes of being a big physical WR...

-Funchess gets physical to try and create separation- 4:56 & 11:00

So many media draft analysts just piggyback off one another. I've seen "slow and big", "lacks short area quickness", "doesn't get separation", but when you watch his games from the past couple seasons, they prove these things wrong. He'll adjust mid air to balls thrown behind him, he'll come across the middle, he wins deep, he does so many things that I think will translate to the NFL.

If Funchess decides he wants to be a beast at the NFL level he has all the tools and athletic ability to do so. I'm very excited and really hope Ricky and company can get the very most out of him.

What I don't like about him, is he doesn't have that killer instinct when attacking the ball in the air like someone his size should. Kelvin has it, Jeffery has it, Megatron and Dez have it... All the elite and even 2nd tier big wideouts have that aspect of their game. Really hope Funch can develop it.

At 2:05 he goes up and gets it while reaching back.

And for that killer instinct... He blindsides the guy at 1:12... But 99% of the time his blocking is brutal

Watch the hips how smooth he breaks and change direction how low he gets when making a move and the slight use of his hands... Also notice the speed he gets on one guy when they play off coverage. Then the moves he already have to beat press coverage......This guy can be a number 1 wr... The next idiot talking head calling him a TE needs to be smacked...

    • Will he keep this up? Who knows. He's had a few decent and one good game. If he keeps trending in this direction I think we go with a veteran and late round development QB if one falls we really like. If he reverts back to early season play, I wouldn't mind earlier investment in a QB because he has had a lot of time to show consistency.
    • Sounds a lot like the clusterfug we had last year with Reich. Poor leadership loses the team. Poor leadership will cost you your job.
    • According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.
