Funchess the next Moose?

Dwayne Jarrett played for USC. Not Michigan

 

Exactly. You beat me to it!

We need a golf forum!

But I'm a Rickie fan, glad to see him finally win a big one! Hell of a tee shot on 17 on what ended up being the final playoff hole

He meant Jarrett 'the bust', not Jarrett the 'Michigan guy'.

Neither. Doesn't remind me of either.

I dont know, from the footage I've seen feom this guy in pads, he looks like he could dominate..just sromp all over DBs.

I dont recall Moose doing much of that...Moose was a great complimentary possession receiver, but never a dominant DB crusher that had the chance to be our #1 receiver.

There's definitely a difference between the two. If Funchess becomes a film room junkee and a weight room warrior, he very well could beat out KB for #1 and the sky is the limit.

 

Moose was pretty damn good after the catch, he's also more physical, Funchess has the reputation for being soft and not using his size to his advantage

Funchess ran a 4.4 at his pro day. He is not slow. He's faster than Kelvin

 

IDK about that, Funchess seems to be more agile and accelerate faster but I never saw him beat anyone deep on the outside, When Benjamin was at FSU he constantly out ran DB's on the outside, he single handily torched the number 1 pass D in the country.

 

And pro days are timed by hand not laser, I think Benjamin has more straight line speed than him.

Man i hope this guy lives up to the crazy hype thrown at him, this website shows no mercy when you dont meet expectations.

yeah me too,  I keep hearing he might be better than Benjamin and I just don't see it. Benjamin has barely tapped into his potential and he had 1000+ yards and 9 TD. And Benjamin dominated in college after a slow start

Exactly, and while i think Funchess will be good i think he is kinda being overhyped so far off potential. We saw a lot more from Benjamin in college and people were on the fence when we drafted him but funchess has got crazy hype. Hope we do see it but i just want to see him play first.

How in the world can you look at DF and have those names come to mind?

In 20+ years of watching this team I don't know that I've seen a receiver with this particular set of attributes and skills.

Jeffers? Rocket? None of them have both size and speed. Funch has natural athletic ability that we just haven't seen in concert with his kind of size. Moose was a physical guy more akin to KB.

If this dude can put it all together he can be special.

LaFell reminded me a heck of a lot of Moose.

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't see the Moose comparison at all, but I wouldn't be mad about Moose type production from Funchess. 

[rayzor]

it's just an incredibly lazy attempt to lump the guy into some category and an even lazier couple of people to compare him to.

[LinvilleGorge]

LaFell reminded me a heck of a lot of Moose.

 

I wish.  If he did, he'd still be here and he'd be starting opposite KB.  Moose was much, MUCH better than LaFell ever was.

 

Moose had a 1400 yard season for us.  LaFell could never do that.
