What happened to Funchess?

[Cyberjag]

Wasn't he supposed to be a break-out player this year?  He was shut out last night, and has five catches on the season.  Is this just our QBs not looking his way, or is he unable to get separation, or what?

He plays like 5% of the offensive snaps. 

[Chaos]

Was wondering the same thing last night, was calling him Devin Copperfield for his amazing disappearing act.

My question isn't what happened to Funchess, but rather what did he ever do to make the Huddle think he was going to be so great? We had posters trying to argue he was as good or better than A.J. Green during the preseason.

I blame the media...

Our QB's only look for Olsen and Benjamin..I don't know what you want Funchess to do when they don't even look at him

The dude was wide open on multiple ossacions last night.  He toasted his man in atlanta everytime he was out there.

 

The Anderson run fumble.  Funchess ran a quick slant and was wide open at the stick stop stood there.  Stared at Anderson trying to get his attention, then Anderson took off running his way.  Blows my mind.  After the 1st quarter Tampa knew we were only targetting KB and Olsen.  The int to KB, there were 3 guys around him because they knew who it was going to.  The endzone pass to olsen, the were 2 guys around him because they knew who it was gojng to.

He makes Keary Colbert look like Jerry Rice.  It remains to be seen how his career turns out but at this point I would rather have Tobias Palmer that tried out for our team over the summer.

I noticed him open a few times, but DA never looked his way.

You have nice things but bad football opinions.

Hard to make an impact when the QB's refuse to look your way.

Kerry Colbert was targeted, and dropped everything whenever he couod get open.

Funch has got open, but apparently wearing a transparent uniform where the QBs cant see

[Zaximus]

Because Cam is locked into KB since he came back and DA basically followed suite.

He was definitely worth 3 draft picks.

I wish Gettleman would start using the draft to properly stock a team. The future looks very thin.

You could have had Funchess in the late 2nd round with 1 pick. If Funchess is gone, then just pick another WR. It is not like Diggs, Coates, Conley, and Lockett were off the board.

8 to 10 picks a year, or you can watch the team decay from a lack of talent over the next 5 years.

The Panthers could have landed Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin to back up the youngsters in KB and Funchess with Ginn as a situational threat. Philly Brown and Brenton Bersin need to go and never come back. If the Panthers have a 3rd down WR with Cotchery gone, it is Bersin. That is not good, and they do not use him on 3rd downs. They seem to be forcing Brown into that 3rd down WR position, but he is not consistent enough to take that role.
