If Funchess isn't good, then neither is Benjamin.

Indefensible position.

In 22 NFL games, Funchess has 38 catches for 585 yards and 7 TD. He's averaging less than 2 catches and 26 yards per game.

In the same number of career games, KB has 102 catches for 1402 and 13 TDs. That's almost 5 catches for over 63 yards per game.

The difference isn't all bout targets either. Funchess only converts about 46% of his targets into completions. That percentage is 52% for KB.

KB is just much better at football than Funchess.

I could care less.

Benji got most of those stats at garbage time. When the game is on the line, he drops passes just like Funchess does. The difference here is that Funchess at least makes clutch plays. Benjamin, on the other hand, kills momentum.

Good god. 

Yes, KB drops too many easy passes. He needs to improve on that. Funchess has the same flaws with a third of the production and none of the highlight reel catches.

Let me just put it like this, every team in the league would have KB on their roster. Every single one. The same is absolutely not true of Funchess. He plays in one of the thinner WR corps in the league and has done hardly anything. We're not far from discussing the potential of him being that B word.

LOL what are you even looking at when you watch these games?

1. It's "couldn't" care less

2. All Benji does is make big time plays. So far this year we've seen Devin stumble along the sidelines and fail to get 2 feet in, slip out of breaks, try for the one handed catch when he needed two, dropped a gimmie on 3rd down on Sunday and so far has failed to earn the trust of the QB's. 

There's a reason why Newton AND Anderson look KB's way when they need a big play and not Devin's. Only reason why Devin was even in for that TD catch Sunday was because KB sat the play out after being blindsided

It's interesting that it seems like everyone in the NFL outside of us thinks Funchess sucks-- bad.

It is interesting, he just has to continue to work. I see the talent

He is in his second year.. rarely are there ever wr's who turn into stars in their second year.. I mean look at dez bryant it took him 3 seasons before he had a breakout year.

If it wasn't for all of the preseason hyping, most on this forum would've already accepted that Funchess isn't a very good NFL WR. I think most honestly do, they're just living in denial.

It seemed like towards the end of the game Funchess was coming up pretty clutch to me. One of the "drops" was when Cam threw to him in double coverage

He has his moments, they're just few and far between.

Y'all be honest now, what would you be thinking and saying about Funchess if Igo didn't spend half the off season and preseason telling you all about how great this guy was gonna be?

He's just not that good. He's still young and hopefully he'll improve and get more consistent, but he basically looks like Kony Ealy the WR IMO. Gentleman has been pulling some Hurneys in the 2nd round after nabbing Short.

I dunno, I honestly think he looks like he is on the brink of breaking out. When he gets in a rhythm he can do some damage. I mean take into account the pass interference yards against NO and he had nearly 100 yards impact on the game. They obviously couldn't cover him towards the end

While funchess does have some pretty bad drops.. he still did get 2 touchdowns and converted a 2 pt play.. which is to say is a hell a lot better than what ealy has ever done this season.. so that comparison is not a good one.

I meant in terms of consistency, or rather lack there of. 

Ealy did have a dominant Super Bowl performance which trumps anything Funchess has ever done.
