Funch just being Funch

Devin Funchess has put together an inconsistent career thus far and went through most of the Colts‘ offseason program without working with Andrew Luck, who was sidelined with a strained calf. But Frank Reich said (via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan) he is “very encouraged” by Funchess’ route-running, for a player his size, and his overall progress in his system. Reich lobbied early for Funchess in March, and the former Panthers target will almost certainly play a big role for the Colts this season.

 

So, I'm about to drop some money in Vegas, taking the under on the number of wins the Colts rack up this year.

If Vegas had a line on Funchess drops this season, the over/under would probably be "all of them".

I wanted so bad for Funchess to be the guy..... but you do t get what you want by wanting it, you get it by working for it.... Funfun didn’t work for it........ hope his $13M & vet min for his remainder keeps him straight....

I feel bad for FunFun. I will never forget that contested catch in the endzone against GB in 2015.  I don't know why he fell apart last year.  I don't think he'll produce the drama KB did.  I wonder if we cut that one a bit too soon....he was just sooo bad last year.

He's *never* been a $13 million WR.  Regardless of how you see him WR1/WR2 . . . he's not $13 million.  That's the problem.  Someone paid him that, so best of "Luck" to him and them, but I'll take Jarius Wright and Chris Hogan all day long.

I don't feel a bit bad for Funchess. The man is going to be set for life after this season. Virtually anyone else as bad at their job as he is would be living in their mom's basement.

He certainly wasn't worth 13 million last year.  Wright,Hogan,Moore,Samuel were all better than funfun last year.  I doubt funfun will be worth 13million this year....

I said during the season last year that I wouldn't have him back even for veteran minimum. "Losing" Funchess was addition by subtraction. The guy was just far too unreliable.

He never had the speed to be a #1. He never had ability to get vertical and very poor tackle breaking ability. 

He was pretty decent at catching in traffic and getting some yards when he actually caught the ball at a good angle.

Funch had his moments for sure. I had faith in the guy but he just never seemed to improve his game to where we needed it as the #1 WR. Best of luck to him (no pun intended). It's time for Curtis and Moore to shine.

He's a fuging diva bum. No one should feel sorry for him.
