Kelvin Benjamin sad after ATL Postgame

[ed bell]

I'll bet Ricky Prohl has a good idea about what is going on with KB and I'd imagine they'll work on it.

They are gonna work on it no doubt. Just doesnt mean it WILL get resolved. KB might always have drop issues. Then again he might fix it and be a stud possession WR. 

 

No one knows.

Maybe he does have iffy hands.

Listen up, KB wasn't brought in to replace Steve Smith, caz that's really unlikely to happen.

KB is here to replace LaFell.  Kid is a solid blocker, decent speed, suspect hands and rediculous size.

Big difference between the two: KB wins jump balls, moves chains and scores touchdowns.  LaFell did none of that, and routinely dropped easy passes.

I'd love it if KB fully rounded out his game as he'd tear the league apart.  I'm accepting of his game as it stands so long as the FO continues to develop our offensive presence.

[GRWatcher]

Maybe if he learned how to get better separation between himself & the defender he'd feel more comfortable & confident & loose when the ball comes to him so he will drop it less. Just a thought.

[Icege]

I like how slobs with no experience in what they're debating dismiss the input of those experienced in the topic at hand.

[Toundra]

His drops rate is clearly concerning, he will have to work a lot during the off season.

Don't get me wrong Kelvin is still a wonderful Wr, so close to become a megatron 2.0

If You're Not A Believer Then GET GONE! Did you not watch the National Championship Game??? Not only will @KBREDZONE show up this weekend, he may just make a CLUTCH Catch/Touchdown.

The Real #PantherNation knows what's up, So #KeepPounding !!!

The hard catches require complete concentration on catching the ball. The easy catches are different because it is easy for your mind to go to the next phase--getting hit, running after the catch. There are also people who catch the ball better over the right shoulder than the left, above their heads better than around their knees. We practiced catching passes while getting hit with dummies. I was not good over my left shoulder, so I ran about 10 routes a practice from the offensive right side. I was also slow to bring the ball in when at my knees, so they made me practice that with the jugs machine every day.. Since KB routinely makes the tough catches, it is pretty safe to assume it is a concentration issue instead of hands. However, I will defer to the experts on here. They know enough to dismiss people who spent years working on hands.

it is absolutely a concentration issue.

[BIGH2001]

It's hard for me to imagine its not a focus/concentration issue for a guy who is an NFL receiver who makes difficult NFL catches but drops easy ones.

[pantherclaw]

There is no debate.

[Silent Majority]

The mantra of Panthers fans..."Those who can't, sit around like bunch of whiney bitches and complain". Let's give the Kid a chance to work on his craft.

[Jangler]

I don't know...

To me it kind of looked like he was mulling over what to eat for dinner... a nice prime rib or lobster.

 

[dugbug]

Unless you personally have preformed numerous tests on KB than you are merely speculating / hoping.

I do not have the answers. I do not know if it is concentration or mediocre hands. All I know is drops have always been a problem for him.

So you and other posters saying IT IS due to concentration is baloney. You dont know what the problem is.

He has lower drop % than s smith his rookie year. Guy is legit. Let him grow.

[EightyNine]

All we kept hearing during the preseason was that KB was catching everything.  At the start of the season, it looked like he was backing that up.  It seemed like once he started to drop some, it started to snow ball.  That to me seems like its a mental thing.  It might be a matter of over thinking it.  The drops have probably been in the back of his mind, and he's letting the pressure get to him.  Confidence is so huge in sports.
