why you should be excited about kelvin Benjamin


Recommended Posts

I agree that you can't coach height, but you have to coach the guy who has it.

 

Benjamin needs 3 things to be a star, in my opinion:

 

1. A good QB

2. A good work ethic

3. A good coach.

 

2 of the pieces are already here.

Please elaborate on what you are basing this question regarding his work ethic on.

Honestly, I don't really have one specific.  I root for my alma mater G-W but they are far from the big stage, at least in football.

 

I never have liked FSU, dating back to Bowden hiding behind a bible and pulpit playing the stupid 'aw shucks, dadgum' act for years while his players ran wild.

 

yea even as a Christian, that would piss me off. idk man... just dont think its right to judge a player simply by by the school he attended. ive heard of no character issues concerning Benjamin so he's cool in my book. dont know why you refer to Gettleman the way you do, but i think its alittle over the top... just saying.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
