Kelvin Benjamin continues drops in Practice

If he didn't have drops he would be Calvin Johnson.

He is dropping some he should catch but making some he has no business catching. Right now just taken the good with the bad.

The thing you should consider is he has amazing abilities that are not coachable. If his hands become more consistent you have an all-pro WR

If not we will have to "settle" for these 1,000 yard 9 TD seasons ;)

 

Calvin Johnson has made some pretty bad wide open drops this year especially early in the season.(I haven't watched him lately though). I can just imagine the threads that would be created about him if he were on the panthers.

KB has strong supporters right now but I get the feeling as soon as he drops a crucial first down or touchdown pass in the playoffs that love will quickly evaporate.

The opposite could also happen he catches some big plays and all this nasty venom hateful fans are spewing disappears. All of a sudden "what could we have done without him, OROY for sure!".

Run the wrong routes = possible int

Not finish his routes = possible int

Stupid penalties = costing a possible 1st down

Missed assignments/blocks = sacks, fumbles, ints, not extending plays

Point is all phases of a WR's game are crucial to the success of the team, not just dropped passes.

From the rest of the rookie WR class (beckam, Evans, Watkins, etc), I haven't heard much about their performance in a negative aspect so I'm assuming their performing well in other phases of the game. I also know Kelvin leads the entire NFL in dropped passes this year.

 

All those things change at each level of play, so I'm willing to give a rookie the benefit of the doubt on them. Inexperience with the system or the NFL I can excuse. Catching the frigging ball is the same at each level.

i don't like the dropped passes anymore then anyone but dude has still had a great year and is a rookie, so stfu

 

Hahaha

 

I already admitted he had a great year and I'm not taking anything away from it. 

 

He needs to stop dropping the damn ball though. All those things I listed above KB is guilty of and I forgave him for because he is a rookie. Drops have nothing to do with being a rookie.
