Kelvin Benjamin Still Looks Boom or Bust

[micnificent28]

Im fine with the possession threat. Seeing as we have really lacked one for year he is just what we needed.

[sharkkiller]

OK. Let's break it down by player over their first 6 games, shall we?

 

 

 

What does this tell us? Not a damn thing really, since it is 6 games into a career. But he is at least comparable in every stat. Only Julio Jones has more yards, and none have as many TDs or receptions.

I agree that he is a bit limited, but when he gets a #2 that is a real threat--I see his productivity going up.

 

We are seeing some major blitz packages because everyone of our receivers can be covered with one man.

I think Boldin is the best example to Benji. But as long as Cam and Benji stay healthy, Benji will have better stats. Boldin was stuck in Arizona's QB/online mess for years and still put up good numbers.

Boldin lead the NFL in YAC as a rookie.

Statistically, Boldin had one if the greatest starts to a WR career in NFL history. If he had missed a couple games his first 5 years....I think it might be the best and his 5 year start is still up there regardless.

Boldin IMO has more 89 to his game than anything. He lacked the explosion/speed 89 had obviously. Both have always been very physically and great YAC guys early on

Can anyone pick out something from the article (those that actually read it) and tell me specifically what you disagree with?

 

The only time he said the word "bust" was in the title and I think a lot of guys read that and freaked out.  He isn't saying anything about KB that isn't true or things we don't already know and understand.

 

I love what Benjamin does on the field, but I also understand there are a lot of things he doesn't do.  But he's a rookie, and like any rookie time will tell.  Which is precisely what this guy is implying.

 

I'm really not sure what all the hate is about after reading it, accept for the title, which I think is where many of you stopped reading.

Can we stop posting Bleacher Report here and passing it as something interesting and worthwhile?????? Or at least warn us in advance? Thanks

A rookie being inconsistent?

 

NO WAY!

Thanks. Did not know this.

 

Benji's YAC average will be limited as long as he keeps catching TDs in the endzone.

Once this big guy gets going downfield he is quicker than most might expect or his lack of speed can appear deceiving,has a better knowledge of the route tree than most analysts would like to assume and that can easily be coached up (ricky prohel)and is usually improved upon through repetition and epxerience.also,is a touchdown waiting to happen in the endzone because of his physical blessings and the mismatch he presents the corner or anyone for that matter.i read another article not too long ago, by bleacher report, following the Texans vs. Cardinals game that said Jadeveon Clowney had had a limited skill set,lol,if you ask me?"bleacher report does not know their arse from a hole in the ground"and that we have found a diamond in the rough at that number 28 spot in the first round.

I'm going to have to break this into few parts

 

 

 

 

part 1: S.T.F.U.

 

 

part 2: its all good

 

 

part 3: yall have no fugn clue what the hell youre talking about... im looking at you half assers out there.  he's still learning/growing and its not the 'ima rookie let me get adjusted to the nfl' type, he's more mature.  im talking about learning/growing with cam/prohle and god forbid shula. I see the two of them playing out there and I know its only a matter of time.  let the guy get adjusted for crying out loud, i cant believe the angles people take to critique him.  i see benji snap off the line.  i do not see a long legged totem pole with knees knocking together just scrapping along the turf like a rooted pine tree.  i see a STUD with a smooth burst, nice separation moves, great hands with a beast mode frame.  

 

 

part 4: take your armchair gm nonsense outta here and learn today

[tondi]

At a minimum, if he never improves a bit from the player he is right now, KB is shaping up to be a WR who will get you 70/900/10 every season, which isn't a bust by anyones definition.  The fact he has shown the potential to possibly be even more than that is what is scaring all of the guys who were talking poo about him prior to the season.

 

In other words, he has already proven he isn't a bust so what the fug is this guy talking about?

[PandaPancake]

I need to break out game rewind and start giving kinematics lessons

[thefuzz]

We needed someone to score touchdowns, not wow us with one handed grabs in traffic at the 46 yard line.

 

 

KB is what Cam needs at this time.

[Semaj]

Bleacher report. Nuff said. Whatever.
