He reminded us that he's still just a rookie. He had a horrible performance. A couple drops he should've had, some bad routes and the fumble that gave up a TD. Hope he can improve from this game by watching the tape but we can't ignore that he was pretty horrible today.

He had a terrible, terrible day.  But it wasn't completely terrible.   A lot of his bad plays were really close to being good plays.  In the fumble play, he made a great catch right before losing the ball.  In one of his drops, he made a great catch, but the defender ripped it away from him.  In the failed TD catch where he couldn't find the ball, he was still in a great position to make a play.  He still needs a lot of work, but he shouldn't be too bummed out about it.

Look, he IS a rookie but goddammit was he horrible today. There's no excuse for his performance. He should have been benched. If your head isn't in the game, then don't play. Benjamin let our offense down when we needed him the most.

 

He shouldn't have been benched and you're blowing it way out of proportion.  He had a bad game it happens.

Patience is a virtue.. he's a rookie and you should expect him to have a few stinkers his first two seasons. Once he hits his stride, he's going to be unstoppable, but not if we bench him every time he has a bad game, as it'll ruin his confidence.

 

Give him some time to develop. It'll pay huge dividends in the long run.

    • Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.
    • I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.
    • When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
