Man Funchess Stats are way out there

That’s funny, but I will say I’ll eat my crow. 

I was pretty vocal and not happy with what he showed the first year or so. I’m happy to see what he is turning into. 

His first two years stats looked like this...

2015-2016

56 Rec 782 Yards 7 TDs 

2017

31 Rec 473 Yards 5 TDs

On a serious note with Funch, he is not playing any differently than he has his whole career, he's just getting more time on the field and he's being put in position to be the 1st or 2nd read more often. Funch is a good WR and has been since he got here. 

I know it seems like I'm needlessly defending the guy, but I get tired of the "he's finally playing really well for us" talk. No, he's playing the same he has since he got here (although he's obviously gotten better since he was drafted, but you get what I'm saying). He's never had an issue with dropping balls, he's never had an issue with running bad routes. He's never had an issue getting open pretty consistently. The areas he "struggles" are where every receiver struggles. Having his hands or arms hit while trying to reel in a pass. And even in those situations, he's winning some. Funch is a solid #1 option for us and I'm glad some of the people here are starting to come around on the guy.

    • Panthers are clearly not worried about cap space so why are we?
    • Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl
    • I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.
