The elephant in the room. Why is Torrey Smith still starting?

[Yaboychris28]

He sucks. Curtis Samuel, Moore, Byrd could have their snaps raised if his bum ass gets cut. Only one can dream.. RR smh

[Smithers]

I defended him early...but he sucks.

 He can’t catch.  Can’t run routes.  Can’t block.  He is awful and should be inactive on game days.

 

[Mvp2014]

Shouldn’t he be our legit deep threat?  The only thing he ever excelled at?

[JARROD]

Well all of our receivers suck,..

Norv has to do the Paper Scissors Rock with the sideline to decide which tweedle dee to pass to since all they do is run bad routes and drop passes to the chest,..

Cause Ron Rivera is a moron

Andy Reid has one of the better coaching records (and reputations) in the NFL.

The Eagles still didn't win a Super Bowl until they moved on from him.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but Rivera comes from that Andy Reid coaching tree.

Valid.

I agree about Smith thus far.  Not sure about Funchess though, we need that big receiver in different situations.   It was all about having big receivers a couple of years ago because Cam has a tendency throw high.   Funchess didn't have a bad day today, I just don't think he is a #1 receiver but he is definitely one of our top 3.   

Let's just hope everyone stays healthy and we can continue to argue about this.  We have more potential at wide out than we have had in many years.

We should be starting Samuel and Moore with Funchess coming off the bench and J.Wright in the slot. 

 

This!

Funchess size and height is no longer an excuse for him to start. He doesn't play to his size. The 2 best WR's on this team is Samuel and Moore. Start them and you will see a more explosive offense guaranteed.

Funchess doesn't play big. He is big for nothing. Moore and Samuel play like they are 6'4 230 pounds. Funchess plays like he is 5'11 180.

Honestly he doesn't have it in him. This is his contract year, and he is playing like just another WR.

Ill never wish a player to suffer injury but if Torrey gets hurt I wouldn’t be sad....

Take a message to Rivera:

You want to win? You need to stop being Riverboat Ron only when you're desperate and the stakes are exceedingly high. Take a chance at the start of the game. Play some of your uber talented kids who have shown you flashes to begin the game. Play from ahead and stay there. Don't suck.

He's definitely not doing what we signed him to do.

Couldn't really justify his salary for what he's given us so far either.

Could you justify any nfl salary for what he has done? 

[Zithers]

I don't know where people get off on saying DJ is so good. His main issue coming out of college was failing against press coverage which is why we don't use him on anything outside of screens and end arounds. They know he can't do anything yet. Wish we would drafted Ridley instead but oh well. Moore will hopefully turn into something next year once he's gotten used to all three WR spots.

Samuel I imagine will get increased playtime as he does more in practice now that he's back from his heart issue. Him, Funchess, and Wright would make a solid trio. With Moore or Byrd subbing in as needed.
