Funchess isn’t quick enough to beat the better corners because of his size and needs to use his size. It’s not often a 6’4” 225 dude is going to out quick a smaller corner so it’s a must for him to use his size. 

Randy Moss was capable of catching the ball over his shoulder, Funchess rarely has shown the ability to do such. So many of you don’t realize that Funchess is very limited with the routes he can run because he needs to be able to see the ball into his hands from QB’s hand. So streaks and corner routes you can essentially eliminate right away. Post and slants are his better ones because he’s able to see the ball into his hands. 

In the clip above he allows Rhodes to make a play on that ball because he starts to drift which he often does too. 

Funchess really hasn’t progressed as much as some here think he has. Of course his stats have improved but he’s constantly doing it with the same routes and he hasn’t expanded his game which is the issue.

The diversity of the WR group now will allow Funch to get more out of his limited route tree but I agree completely. If you're not going body defenders you need two of three: speed, agility, catching ability. He's agile but average to below average in the other categories.

That dude is not a fan if Funchess lol, he has him ranked as one of the worst starting receivers in the league

That's a hard argument to make. He shows why he isn't high on Funchess and tbh he is right. Funchess can change but so far his tape shows he isn't a #1 receiver especially in fantasy (which is what his rankings are for)

He was drafted to be #2--he needs to become a #2 before being considered for a #1.  He scares nobody.  LBs can cover Funchess

I hope that wasn't supposed to be a slant route.  There were 2 other receivers jamming that area if it was.
