Devin Funchess scouting report
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/4/17/8398675/2015-nfl-draft-devin-funchess-breakdown
I agree with most of his takes on Funchess but he doesn't know about his injury that he sustained against Notre Dame.
ED BISB: yeah, maybe not so much with the jackass title.
EDIT: It was meant to poke fun at most of the poster's apparent disdain for Funchess most of the season hence my post title. Obviously, that joke didn't work. I'm a big fan of Funchess and think he can succeed in the NFL.
If it were on me, we'd hire a guy to catch passes named Luigi. Then, we could be satisfied that we had, at one point in time, BOTH super mario brothers.
What a shitty title
Why Dude?
an internet in a parallel universe/dimension. I have no idea where he finds this stuff....!
Why did I just do this?
And a thread by my favorite poster! (/s)
Where do I rank?
In my top 400
Shitty post, shitty poster.
Yeah, let's continue to shit on a player who played injured on a crap team, with dumb coaches.
NFL.com profile on Funchess here (LINK), for comparison
Their Bottom Line is what I tend to see when I think of Funchess and his NFL prospects:
Has mismatch-caliber size, but lack of vertical talent and below-average hands might negate the size to an extent. Funchess was used outside and inside at Michigan and had success from the slot. He has the feel of a hybrid player who can be a big guy at wide receiver or a mismatch nightmare as a move tight end with more weight on his rangy frame.
Thought the rough comparison to Gavin Escobar was interesting too.
People forget that Funchess was the top target on a team with basically no other credible receiving threats and an oft-struggling run game. On an NFL team he'll be option 3 or 4 in the passing game, most likely. If he finds the right fit I could see him blowing up since he gets to go against smaller/slower guys reguarly, rather than drawing double teams and #1 corners.
No doubt explains why he did not "like" to block at all.
Normally this makes him perfect for the Lions but even they aren't talking about a WR in the first round. Hell, now I'm worried this is one of their patented "smoke screens".
people in the NFL, unless he's blocking D-lineman (or a quarterback). funchess will be on the slow end of things in the big leagues.
"for all of the poster's piling on Devin all year long. Sorry if it's a shitty title. I'm a big fan of Funchess and it was meant to be fun natured given the fact that he is lighting rod for poster's reaction (mostly in disdain)."
Sample size low but fair report. Actually did Funches a +1 by sh*tting mostly on Gardner, which was probably a little unfair.

You succckkk. You succcckk. You succckkk. You succckk. You suck!
Is that you?
It would be hard for me to trust Funchess as a quaterback if he can't fix his drop problems. His hurt ankle didn't affect his hands at all. I think he's a great kid, and he will be a solid player in the NFL if he gets better at catching,

around here a bunch of over sensitive wussies
I read once of an experiment..5 Monkeys on the ground, a ladder leading to a table with bananas, a man on the ground with a firehose.
When the 1st monkey went up the ladder the man with the firehose would soak the other 4 monkeys on the ground..this happened a few times, after that, anytime 1 of the monkeys started to go up the ladder the other 4 monkeys would grab him and fight him until he no longer tried going up the ladder knowing if he did they would be soaked..Eventually no monkey would try climbing the ladder.
Then 1 of the monkeys was substituted for another monkey..Soon the new monkey tried climbing the ladder and got beat up by the other 4 remaing monkeys but he had no clue why.
Then another monkey was substituted and the new one was beaten by all the monkeys including the other new monkey who had no clue why he was beating the newest monkey and another and another and another were substituted
Soon there were 5 new monkeys and not 1 of them would dare climb the ladder..they had no clue why but they just knew that any monkey who climbs the ladder gets beat up and that was just the why things go..Thats just how its always been done.
My point here is, I have no clue why you have been negd like you have but i am going to just go ahead and neg you anyways because that just seems to be the thing to do.
Agreed. I saw nothing wrong with the post, but negged him just to be safe.
I have no idea how to give you a plus one or whatever I always see poster referring to but Plus 1 sir. I enjoyed that story.
Once you reach 100 pts, MgoBlog send you a special pair of glasses that lets you see them.
Example one why it took me years before I joined this forum. Thanks.
I must have missed the bad thread title, but I'll neg anyway.
Last week my son is flying home from spring break and he's seated next to a very large, athletic looking African American man. He asks my son if he plays ball.
Son: "Nah, I'm too skinny and clumsy, you?"
Athlete: "I do."
Son: "Really? What school?"
Athlete: "Well I did play for Michigan, but not anymore, I'm getting ready for the NFL draft."
Son: "You're kidding, what's your name?"
Athlete" "Devin Funchess, ever heard of me?"
My son still can't stop talking about it. They chatted all the way back on the plane, seems like a nice kid. I for one am pulling for him.
Now I'm curious what the original title was...
