The loudly negative social media reaction to an admittedly underwhelming Devin Funchess signing has been a little surprising to me.
From fans to beat writers, the signing has been getting drummed on Twitter over the last day-plus since it was announced. And it's hard for me to understand why.
There are certainly some red flags about his performance, including his slowness and inconsistency. But it seems like a lot of the criticisms of the move are coming from a place of expecting Funchess to be an immediate solution to the Packers' wide receiver problems.
Here's the thing--there wasn't a single guy available in free agency who was going to be someone who could be the immediate solution to the Packers' wide receiver needs.
