LOL, it's not anywhere near as bad as that.

They're not going to cut Funchess, nor should they.

Jets, Bills, Browns, Texans, Ravens, Chargers, 49ers, Cardinals, Bears, Vikings, Redskins are all worse IMO

I'm going out on a limb and say Byrd does not make the cut.  Nothing against the kid but he just hasn't stood out when the competition level increased.  He's even getting beaten out on special teams by Clay so his hype train is running out of steam.

Perfect player for Hurney to cut to send the message that this is his team now.

Nope, that would be DA. Funchess is still and up and coming player and he actually did make a couple of plays when they finally threw him the ball.

All i can say for the wrs group is that it is tragic when your starting qb is out so develope no rapport and the back up plays like some quy that sits in the stands.Even if you do your job and get open qb is not vapable of throwi g a catchable ball nor seeing and choosing you when you do get open...i feel like our qbs do not read who is open but who they like overall to throw to..

If you cut him though you don't have any speed. We will have no one to take the top off the D.

Samuel is still here.

They have Curtis Samuel and CMC. Both of them have speed and CMC can run routes as good or better than any WR on the team. They could also keep a guy like Frasier or Clay, who both have speed.

But don't you want two guys? One to stretch the d and open space underneath (Byrd), and one like Samuel who, if he has some space, can take a short pass and turn it into a touchdown.

So what does everyone make of Funchess playing later into the game last night? 

Definitely a message sent to him from the coaching staff? 

well deserved. Samuel is in, Funch is moving down the list.

Sure that would be nice but Byrd is not the only guy with speed in the group.  Samuel is pretty darned fast and Clay is looking pretty good also.  I just would not pencil in Byrd as a lock to make the team.  Right now all he has is speed which isn't helping him win his matchups with better competition.
