Benjamin getting praise on cbssports

Recommended Posts

In the Panthers' preseason game vs. the Chiefs, Benjamin was routinely blowing past defensive backs and getting open deep. Newton targeted him on one such deep pass but overthrew him -- proof positive that their rhythm is a work in progress. He body-caught another target for a 24-yard gain that eventually led to a Panthers touchdown, but again he got open. It's his size-speed combination that had the Panthers drooling during the draft process and Benjamin has put it on display in the preseason.

I haven't played FF since 06', but I can't imagine how a top 5 FF player(I think) in Cam could last until the 7th or 8th rounds this year.  As far as Benjamin, I have a feeling he will surprise everyone in the football world, outside of the Huddle.

 

Basically, a good RB is hard to find these days, so their value is higher than that of other positions. there are 2-3 RBs that can get you 20 pts a game, but there are 5-10 QBs that can do it.

Which is a great example of why FF sucks.  The system is terribly antiquated.  In reality, that situation is flip flopped.  An elite QB is far more valuable than an elite RB.

Kelvin ran a 4.53 in the combine, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bad day.. KB has blazing speed.

I think his first 20 yard split isn't that fast but I think his stride and top gear are deceptively fast, and that is what seems to set him apart on go routes.

I don't have any proof outside of him blowing past defenders though.

Blowing past defenders that can't catch you has to count for something. :)
