my question to the Huddle is who is our bigger playmaker, Benji or Greg? had statistically similar seasons last year.... and what role will Funchess play as far as top playmakers go?

Greg. Benji can make more "wow" plays but greg is way more consistent and clutch.

Don't agree with Stafford Bell and Megatron being ahead of us.

Olsen - 84-1008-6 (123 targets, long of 38 yards)
Benjamin 73-1008-9 (145 targets, long of 51 yards)

IMO they both fall into basically the same possession receiver mold. Olsen is by far more consistent (and actually had a better YAC average), but Benjamin is a better big-play target.

Funchess sems a bit quicker than either one, but I don't personally see him getting the same volume of targets. He could finish with 800 yards, or 400. It depends on how we shuffle him out, how many targets (if any) he takes from KB and Olsen, and how Ginn and Brown contribute.

I think if Ginn/Brown and a distant Dixon can consistently contribute the Offense is going to be dangerous. Not so much big play deep threat dangerous but consistently potent. Panthers will have a great year if that happens.

TB could have a nice triple if Winston produced.  Charles Sims is no slouch at RB.

Benjamin is a more dangerous threat as a receiver in my opinion, but Olsen's blocking makes him one of the best all around players in the entire league and a more effective down for down player than KB.

​2.8ypc and 1 touchdown on 66 rushes... Bad line or not, that is horrible.

​He was injured last season.

I don't see any reason to rank us ahead of them.

[JohnDeezy_89]

Olsen's reliability puts him ahead on Benjamin at this point IMO.  But, once Benji gets it figured out and cuts back on the drops he will be our offense's most explosive weapon.  Kelvin's overall size and agility is just off the charts.  I can't wait to see these guys take the field this year, and I pray they make it there healthy (Pounds Wood!).

I also don't see how the trio in Dallas is either. If Murray was still in the backfield, ok... But not that trio. He even says in the article we don't know who's going to get the bulk of the carries in their backfield.

sounds like a Deaneglo Williams stat line from the past few years...
