Kelvin Benjamin

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.

[IamSoClutch]

yea it was but he will learn. him in isolation on the game winning touchdown play did set up the Greg Olsen touchdown.

 

i think he was down on the fumble anyway

 

he'll be fine and learn from it

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.   

[Mother Grabber]

looked like he wasn't focused.  If he brings intensity and focus every day, he can be unstoppable.

I think the sun was bothering him since hes alot closer to it.

He still needs a lot of work, he's a rookie. But his stats and award as Rookie of the Month has shown us the potential. He CAN make those catches and keep hold of the ball. Even Olsen made a few surprising drops in the first half.

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.

[Raskle]

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.

[Growl]

I'm sure he'll get a flawless grade in Rivera's grading system though.

[mc52beast]

Let's see.. he's playing in his FIFTH game as a pro. Give the kid some time, even the great HOFers have off days.

[brandon_87]

agreed, so lets make a thread about it

[Actionman0z]

He had a close fumble on a ball that got away from him. He had one terrible drop .. Others were not great throws.. Other was a great play by defender.

[davos]

Not a good day but being able to win with him like that is good to know.  

[propagandamachine]

Nope he was perfect : Bears were triple focusing on him
