Hoping Funchess reads what a crappy signing he was for us and it motivates him. He is huge, runs nice routes and will make people eat crow (they won't) with the way he is used by our staff here. I repeat, he is a great signing because this staff knows exactly what he brings to the table and knows exactly how they are going to use his skill set. It's no guarantee but it's as close as you can get.

That's the key point. Under Pagano's regime, this wouldn't have been a good signing. With Reich and Ballard on the same page, they know exactly how they are going to magnify his strengths.
