Kelvin Benjamin Still Looks Boom or Bust

[PandaPancake]

I've got a feeling the only reason his resume is soo long,is because they pay him to leave,

That would be awesome. Instead I get that whole, "You're too valuable to be packing explosives." Or, "You shouldn't be using vacuum trucks to launch projectiles"

If there is something I can't do I find out quickly

Marques Colston was the last NFL rookie WR to have a 1000 yard season in 2006.

Might want to start dropping the "bust" possibility too. 6 games in, 400 yards, 4 TD and 21 First downs. He has effectively assumed the #1WR role.

Hate to agree with BR garbage, but Benji is not Megatron 2.0.

That said he is a GREAT player and a perfect fit for the offense. I think most of us have been very pleased with his production so far and think he has potential to be an elite possession type receiver. Once he gets his routes down pat and works out the easy-catch drops he seems to have from time to time, lookout. He will be a TD and first down machine.

Those expecting big YAC or for Benji to blow up 40 plus yard TDs on a regular basis are going to be disappointed. That is not the player we drafted folks.

Agreed, KB obviously sucks, I'm glad the other teams were smart enough to not draft him and leave us with his limited 1000 yard multiple td rookie season.  If only he could produce like Tavon Austin, Justin Blackmon, Deandre Hopkins, or AJ Jenkins.  Seriously, most impressive rookie offensive player, how could anyone think he's not impressive, geeze.

[DaveThePanther2008]

So what.  He played college football.  That makes him an expert?  

 

The projected numbers show that he will surpass all the other ELITE WRs he mentioned.  That would warrant a big

 

STFU.

This coming from the same website that regularly posts articles such as top ten rookie quarterbacks to make little girl's ginies tickle

KB still has a lot to learn but is young and has plenty of time to improve his game. Even if he is a one trick pony his one trick is pretty nice. I wouldn't mind us drafting another top WR this upcoming draft, if we can get double teams away from KB imagine what he can do. Unless Hill or Bersin can be a good #2 WR we need someone to get the attention away from KB this offseason.

The number of idiots in the US media really exceed my tolerance.

[firstdayfan]

I actually get what he's saying. I love KB and think he has been amazing but this guy has a point. You know what separates Benji from the big dogs right now? Explosion. He is just not athleticly gifted to be able to make those kind of plays.

He's big, knows how to use his body, and he's a long strider who can go up and get the ball. But essentially that's all he's shown to this point, which is exactly what this guy is saying.

This sounds like a butthurt article

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

So are we applying the "he's not perfect, therefore bust" school of thought here? I'm just guessing that's the gist of the write up because you can't pay me to read a BR article.

[MeatSoda]

i will never understand why we are so eager to come up with a definitive answer on who & how successful a player will be for his entire career. People (with half a brain) are still trying to figure out where Cam's gonna go & where his ceiling is. 

 

I guess people want to be able to say I told you so when somebody arrives at their expectations? So fugging what?

[teeray]

Is he perfect?  No.  But I am not sure what more you could ask for out of a rookie WR.

 

He has been great, and will only get better
