Rapsheet - Torn ACL for Kelvin Benjamin

[Mojo]

I think having Ted back, who Cam seems to have a great rhythm with, is a plus.  It's time for Corey Brown to step into his own and also I'm hoping Byrd can make an impact.  It's possible we can still do well with what we've got, but that will require everyone's game to step up a couple levels.  That includes Cam, Rivera and especially Shula.

At least we've got good depth at that position. But why did it have to be our #1 WR?!...Or anyone at all, for that matter...

Well this thread has finally driven me to start "IGNORING" some commenters here.  Can't take their poison on top of everything else.

[Bozarden]

This is horrible. Every indication from camp has been that Kelvin was about to break out BIG TIME and then some poo like this happens. I feel horrible for him and the whole team.

Hopefully our wide receiver core will step up as a group to fill his place and we wont miss a beat en route to our 3rd straight division title...

Have faith in Ricky Proehl and Gettleman.

so we lose our best receiver (by far) and we're better for it?

nope, just not as bad as we thought last year was gonna be. 

Funchess had a G-man 1st rd grade! We will be fine, just not as well off as we hoped

[MadHatter]

????

 

a WR group with Funchess, philly (2nd year), Ginn, Bersin (another year better), Cotchery, and Olsen is better than last year. 

Philly a year older and Ginn back makes it better.  I need to wait on Funchess.  But, I think he may have a better skill set than KB.

 I would def like to have KB out there.....but I still think we are better than last year.

We're screwed

Further evaluation revealed the worst. WR Kelvin Benjamin out for year with torn ACL: http://panth.rs/tLJWli

Benjamin has been the best player at camp in my eyes. Primed for a huge year. Just awful news. http://panth.rs/tLJWli

Bottom line - regardless of how it impacts our wins and losses - I hate it for KB.  I think he was poised to light it up this year.
