according to ryan riddle.... He has his reasons and a host of other crap to read If you ready the article.

 

From film studies, its clear Benjamin is capable of some impressive plays, but when you put his entire body of work together, several limitations are also presented. In all, I’d say the 6’5”, 235-pound rookie wideout is a one-dimensional weapon who landed in the right place to maximize his early production.

Don’t get me wrong, Benjamin is certainly valuable and has done a nice job in his first five games as a pro. But his skillset as a wide receiver is still limited.

 

 

 

 

Benjamin still has value as a quality weapon in this league and should be able to improve some things about his game. But for those of you expecting him to be the next Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant or Julio Jones, think again.

riddle me this.... how is this dude a "featured reporter".

 

just when I thought bleacher report was getting better?

so now instead of "bust" he is "limited"?

 

What an idiot.

Hey buddy we know you've only played in six NFL games but we're going to have to cut you loose.

[Rise of The Hive]

Because some idiot said it.

Ok kids repeat after me, 'I will not go to Bleacher Report. Igo is the only legitimate news source'

Except, you know, stats and all.

 

KB so far: 416 yards 4 tds

KB projected over 16 games: 1109 yards 11 tds

 

Megatron's rookie season: 756 yards 4 tds

Bryant's rookie season: 561 yards 6 tds

Jones' rookie season: 924 yards 4 tds

 

KB has ALREADY equaled two of their TD totals six games into the season. He is on pace to shatter Bryant's yardage mark and beat the other two by a healthy margin.  Even if KB doesn't maintain the level he's been playing at, he'll still easily surpass every stat I listed except possibly Jones' yards if KB takes a steep decline.  Is he Megatron?  Probably not.  Is he on the level of Dez and Julio?  I'd say so, with room to exceed them.

 

edit: because I forgot we've played 6, not 5 games.

pretty accomplished guy.... I don't agree with his feelings on KB tho. Fug him.

[Jimmy]

KB already has as many TDs as Smitty had all last year.

 

 

 

Yeah I mentioned Smitty dagumit

[Growl]

it's so weird though because credible NFL analysts with scouting history were raving about his performance on twitter today so now i dont know who to trust, them, or this guy with an account on bleacherreport

[WhoAmI?]

I guarantee you that if Kelvin went to any other team than the Panthers, they would be claiming him the next elite WR. What is it with the Panthers and the media. Can we have anything? It seems like everybody good we have are either overrated or will be a bust in the next 2 years according to the media. He has only played freakin 6 games, what is with these people?

[philp]

They're mad Sammy isn't the number one rookery wideout.

[CRA]

Kelvin needs to show some sort of YAC IMO ability before anyone is gonna jump on the potential elite bandwagon

Maybe it is the offense though. I mean the YAC for everyone from 89 to Olsen has been odd under Shula
