Is anyone else frustrated?


The Question

Funchess was injured at the Combine and shouldn't have even run. At his pro day he ran a 4.47.

Diggs was a 5th round pick (iirc), so many GMs missed out. 

If Funchess isn't good, we'll find out this year. If it turns out that he is, you be ready to eat your crow.

The injury excuse, Was his excuse for his lack of separation? Pro days are BS, everyone times better at pro days when they using hand held timers.

Many GM need to watch more college. Diggs was ten times better at Maryland than Funchess was in Michigan. 

 

Now Cam has to suffer another year, cause Funchess isn't ready and next year is gonna turn into the year after. Gtfo

At the start of last year almost everyone had us winning 10 games or so, and making a playoff run. Then the wheels fell off. And man, are the natives restless.

 

IMO, this place very well could teeter on the verge of a total meltdown until the season actually starts. And boy howdy, if we don't win some games early in the season? This place may just go nuclear.

 

 

I mean, yeah.  We're fans.  And if the team sucks (which we do), people will be unhappy.  Sorry we're not all sunshine pumpers when it comes to our team that has NEVER had back to back winning seasons.

Dude, it's only been the FA period for 15 hours. We already signed a starting LT to a multi year contract and are currently working on trying to sign Munnerlyn and Peppers. 

I or you might not like Kalil, but it's an actual big name, big contract signing. Just because we didn't sign that one guy you happened to like doesn't mean we're throwing in the towel or don't have a plan in place or guys we're targeting. For the past 5 years people have wanted us to make a day one signing. Well we did. Now they're still bitching because it wasn't a WR with the same redundant skillset our guys already possess, or a Safety that didn't even want to play here. 

We don't have more holes than when FA started, stop being chicken little. We have 1 fewer. We signed Kalil and shepard to give us LT and ST help, but lost Ginn as our #2 WR. That's a net positive of 1 hole filled. 

Give it at least a week before you guys panic. Jesus. 

Yeah?  Well, I enjoy filling all the holes.  :)

But Diggs didn't drop because of ability, it was due to him ALWAYS being injured at Maryland and for his size not showing blazing speed. His hands and route running was some of the best in his class. 

We're kind of in a tough spot with funchess, if we bring in anyone who'll take away from his snaps then it'll be another season of not knowing what he can really do. Which is something we have to figure out before heading into is 4th season next summer.

I'm cool with our signings so far. LT needed to be addressed. I don't think GMan is done either. Is there any word on Cruz or nah? 

IF we are interested, we will probably sit back and let the market drive his asking price down

Wah wah wah

Yet, y'all knew what this thread was going to be about and still decided to participate in said thread. Nothing "levelheaded" about participating in a thread full of "dummies" and "whiners".

The thing about funchess and somewhat Benji is that both were considered somewhat projects. Both had issues coming in that said maybe draft late we drafted ahead of some decent players..This is not what Cam needed and to add Ted ginn was somewhat a help but not because of his hands...Now we had cotchery who was good but let him walk but kept Tolbert, bersin, Brown. Cam has never worked with a sure handed receivers that are good. Their is always an issue with the wr, but Cam is being compared to RW, Cousins, Carr, Winston, Luck all who have receivers that are good.  Last yr was Cams way of saying i am tired of this. GET ME SOME LEGIT HELP...so far the Wr unit is looking poor we need a good vet that demands coverage and will be able to teach the guys good things. They already know how to not catch a ball.

There were a few of us level headed ones, trying to caution y'all about getting your hopes up, as we watched y'all drool and dream of every free agent that became available, and many who were rumored to, but would never happen. . . Y'all set yourselves up for severe  disappointment, thinking we were going to suddenly spend wildly.  

lol every year, no matter who's in control...

We talked about filling needs in free agency so we go after our wants in free agency. If Pep does come home, other than a safety and TE what exactly are our needs other than depth. William's is our starting RT, and while we could use more WRs for the slot that can easily be handled in the draft or perhaps a guy like Byrd can emerge. The draft is deep with running backs.  Otherwise we are looking for depth which you don't find in the first week of free agency. What am I missing?

Maybe the coaching staff likes what they see from Keyarris Garret and Damiere Byrd?

I hope so because we do need a goid vet i believe that can mentor the young kids..I for one am glad Ginn is gone because he was iffy and what could he teach the young kids...We now can get someone young with speed and coach them up ..Ginn had reached his potential.Just need a good vet now I believe..doesn't have to be a splashy name but someone who will demand coverage until the other receivers catch on fire.
