Funchess on playing time.....

[Snake]

Remember when people said how young he is. Remember how they said we had a long time to develop.

 

Funchess: I need to rest my back.

I think that speaks to the leadership and coaching on this team.

I disagree. 

I'd give The Donald a slight edge actually.  I've actually seen The Donald make plays with the ball in his hand.  On more than one occasion.   Funch is a TE playing WR.  One that is extremely inconsistent with his size. 

I’d still give the nod to Funchess. He still has some noob excuse in him age wise where LaFell is clearly defined as an average target. 

Funchess is definitely more up and down though.

Lafell 2.0

And truthfully a lot of guys end up being more like LaFell/Funchess than truly elite.   LaFell & Funchess are certainly not the worst WR's this team has drafted over the last 25 years.  And a lot of guys like that can stick around in the league for years as borderline WR2 and below type threats.

Hopefully, though, we have finally found a combo in Moore/Samuel that can stick for a while, and along with Wright and CMC provide an elite receiving corp.  

God knows after 25 years we are due for it...

People are saying Lafell 2.0, but I don't remember Lafell running lazy routes and not paying attention to what he is doing as the ball sails by him. Funch just has no awareness and sucks

He’s definitely not awful. Just not #1 and sometimes not even #2 material.

I've never seen a guy run as lazy of routes as he did this past Sunday. If he's truly that limited, he shouldn't be out there.

ugh the huddle... Funcuess is what he has always been, an OK football player, he's never laid claim to being more. You can blame him for not getting better....

However if you realize he's never really been coached as a reciever, or played with a throwing QB.... Maybe appreciate he takes a demotion like a pro, and says the right things, rare for a receiver until you realize he never really was one. He's a tight end that couldn't gain weight.

Yeah, no one attempted to coach Funchess in Carolina. Ever. Not once. That non-throwing QB has thrown for 3000+ yards every season. Cam and Peyton Manning are the only two QBs who've ever done that in each of their first eight NFL seasons.

Go home Devin, you're drunk.

Very true that probably explains why he can't catch and has 0 YAC ability.

And now we're saying it about DJ Moore who is 21.

More has shown more flashes of a number one receiver while not getting playing time the first half of the year than Funchess has shown in four seasons.
