No I said someone, not a nobody.

Dude had sCam Newton throwing the ball. Maybe he isn't a nobody but had a clown at QB which limited him.

Maybe, and he could also just suck.

Do you consider the number 2 WR position solved with that signing?

I don’t

Funchess fits a particular role--he'll beat press and move the chains in specific situations. I don't think that role rises to the classification as WR2, but it's something the team sorely needed.

The team sorely needs a WR2, and that's it. Either Funchess is that guy or it was a bad signing.

Yep. I hope he pans out to be that, but right now I'm skeptical. I don't think he's the type of talent that makes you feel "ok, now we're set there, so the focus can be elsewhere in the draft." I think they still need to look at drafting a WR.

To be honest, this team needs a WR2/3/4 (Inman would be fine as WR4, but he’s not signed and Cain could be any one of those but that’s certainly far from proven).

So if Funchess fills any of those roles admirably AND the Colts manage to fill WR2/3 admirably (say, Cain and a rookie draft pick) then I’ll call Funchess a good signing at WR4, albeit a highly overpaid one (which, with the cap space we have, who cares?)

That said, if Funchess comes in and is expected to be WR2 and nothing else is done to address the position then my initial reaction to the signing will be correct and he’ll be the next Ryan Grant/Andre Johnson/Hakeem Nicks/DHB/Donnie Avery.

You’re talking ambiguous concepts and I’m talking tactics.

I disagree we need WR2. We need playmakers on offense, doesn't matter where they line up. Nobody here has the slightest idea of how Funchess will pan out. The folks that know the absolute most signed him for some 13 million. For the first time in eons I'm watching leadership that actually has an idea of how they want to build a team and are following it. They seem, so far, to be able to identify players that fit this scheme and sign them. The proof is what they put on the field. The administration of this team has earned my trust.
