Let's talk Kelvin Benjamin

[firefox1234]

I'll be concerned his 2nd and definitely his 3rd yr if he doesn't improve, for now let the guy get some work in before castrating him for gods sake!

You guys can call him a rookie all you want, but our FO went into the season knowing he would be the #1 WR. I'm going to hold him accountable to #1 WR standards, because that's his job. 

 

That's on the FO...not on KB...

Actually I disagree.  And the numbers disagree.

 

Mike Evans does drop those passes.

 

Philly Brown dropped a touchdown pass tonight and got hurt. Benjamin doesnt get hurt.

 

Martavius, Sammy and plenty of others do drop passes, and most of whose mentioned all have 45-59% catch rates from targets.

 

Odell Beckham caught 70% of his passes, however no one mentions that he was hurt his first 4 games, and played 12 games just like college, didnt have enough games to see if he hit a rookie wall or not.

 

None of these receivers had the success out of the gate, from game 1 of the season and played every single offensive snap like Kelvin has.

 

 

Not being a homer, I see the drops like everyone else does, and Im waiting for him to get through the yips case he has at the moment.  Still hes bounced back with 4 catches out of 7 targets in this game, and just needs a big catch to get his head back together.

 

It is absolutely ok to criticize, but I disagree with saying Benjamin has it worst than anyone else.

Anyone know Phillys diagnosis?

[RJK]

I'm saying he should body catch more...that first drop in ATL for instance. Just catch that ball in the gut and don't worry about trying to score

[top dawg]

Sign Larry Fitzgerald in the offseason and THEN do this^

 

I wouldn't mind Fitz, but I'd rather have Maclin.

I think that when it comes to Benjamin, all we can do is hope.

 

We better get another receiver with potential to break a game wide open.

It's not just a rookie wall: KB was never the primary WR in college either.

Shaw and Greene got most of the looks while Kelvin was there to take advantage of match ups.

We still need another receiver, guys.

Cotchery has one touchdown on the season, and he's going to be 33 years old next season, and Brown is a UDFA.

 

The other 2 WR's we signed in the offseason didn't even finish the season in a Panthers uniform, one didn't make it out of preseason. I think looking back, Gettleman may regret not doing a little more for the receiving group in the offseason. We can't make that mistake again this year.

 

KB has done well enough with the situation has was thrown into.

[electro's horse]

Rookie wall imho

This!

KB only had one year of college production, the kid is literally still tryna find his feet....

[MadHatter]

KB had these same issues in college...and is having them now.

However, give him the offseason to be worked with. Sometimes these issues can be fixed and sometimes they can't.

Give him some time to see.

He had a key block on Fozzy's touchdown that helped the Panthers gain the lead.

That son of a bitch.

 

Bell's was way better!

[4Corners]

He's been playing like sh1t the last few weeks. WR still needs to be a top priority right up there with LT
