I haven't soured on Bene but it almost feels like the coaches/management have. They draft three corner and despite being medically cleared he is no longer a starter despite the fact Rivera almost always favors vets over rookies, it just seems strange. 

I wouldn't say that the coaches soured on him in the slightest. I cautioned someone weeks ago not to presume that Bene was a lock to play on the outside. His natural position in college was in the slot. He may yet play on the outside, but I don't think that it's a negative reflection on him just because the coaches seem to see his strength in the nickel. 

As far as corners being drafted, that had more to do with replacing what we had lost, and establishing some home grown solidity at the position. Even if Sanchez was taken to play in the slot, in Gettleman's eyes, he was the best player available. Even more, competition doesn't hurt anyone, and no one should take their position on the totem pole for granted (not even Bene Benwikere). This is how we do it.

Par for the course, here.

You seem to be a forgetful historian.

Please find your own information instead of just calling BS. Here are a few quotes since you forgot them or can not find the information. Some I have recorded. There are many more you can find on the subject. Also, you need more substance behind your posts.

 

Quote

"When they can trust that you know what you’re doing, they are going to give you more chances."  - Ron Rivera

 

Quote

“The big thing that has to happen is [Ealy] has to be consistent, and he hasn’t been consistent yet. When he gets consistent, you’ll know he’s arrived. It’s two good ones, one bad one. Or two bad ones, two good ones. It’s got to be consistent,” Rivera said.

 

Quote

Despite that strong finish, Rivera had said Ealy was too inconsistent -- particularly against the run -- to be the every-down end he was looking for to replace Greg Hardy.

 

Quote

"I told [Benwikere], 'Well, you’re looking pretty rusty,'" Rivera said. "He knows, and he’s just going to keep working, hopefully work himself back into it."

 

Quote

"We’ve just got to get the young guys acclimated to the standard that we’ve set around here and get the trust part down." - Ron Rivera

He's either hurney or related to hurney. Only explanation for hating Gettleman so much

Rivera has always had trust issues with Bene. Same with Ealy and Klein. Gettleman pushes Rivera to play them, but if Rivera can not trust them then their snaps go down. Happens every year for these three.

Huh?...so Luke, TD and now Shaq have nothing to do with Klein sitting the bench? Unless someone gets hurt he simply isn't good enough but to be backup

Bene's injury?

Now Ealy, Ealy has some issues that pop up.   He has put himself on the sidelines often with his poor decisions

Shall we put these in context?

“The big thing that has to happen is [Ealy] has to be consistent, and he hasn’t been consistent yet. When he gets consistent, you’ll know he’s arrived. It’s two good ones, one bad one. Or two bad ones, two good ones. It’s got to be consistent,” Rivera said. - August 6, 2015, Rivera praises consistent practice

So here we're looking at a quote from last training camp before Kony's season and breakout Super Bowl performance.

Not a good start, but it gets worse.

Despite that strong finish, Rivera had said Ealy was too inconsistent -- particularly against the run -- to be the every-down end he was looking for to replace Greg Hardy. - August 30, 2015, Kony Ealy has earned starting job

This one is not only from last year, but it's actually talking about the previous year.  From the same article:
 

Quote

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera stated that one of his goals entering training camp was to find an every-down defensive end to play opposite Charles Johnson.

Mission accomplished.

Rivera said on Sunday that Kony Ealy has proven worthy of being the every-down starter on the right side barring a major collapse in Thursday night’s preseason finale at Pittsburgh.

And he doesn’t anticipate that.

“He has taken the bull by the horns,’’ Rivera said of Ealy.

Heh :)

Moving on...

"I told [Benwikere], 'Well, you’re looking pretty rusty,'" Rivera said. "He knows, and he’s just going to keep working, hopefully work himself back into it."  - August 3, 2016, Benwikere returns to practice

Oh look, finally a quote from this year, but it's about his first practice back from injury and does nothing to show that Rivera has, or has long held, trust issues. The article also says this:

Quote

Rivera said the plan going forward is to work Benwikere at both left and right cornerback. And of course, he has experience at nickel.

"We’re going to work him at both. We have find out where his home is," Rivera said. "Bene is a versatile guy, he plays the slot as well for us in the nickel situation. We’ll work him and see how things unfold. At the end of the day, we’re going to play the best guys out there."

Basically, they're looking for his best fit as a starter.  Trust issue?  Yeah, sure.

Oh, but it hasn't gotten really fun yet.

First, there's this...

"We’ve just got to get the young guys acclimated to the standard that we’ve set around here and get the trust part down." - Ron Rivera

That's the most recent quote, coming August 11th, only Ron Rivera didn't say it.  Cam Newton did.  You can can see it in context here: Recap: Ravens 22, Panthers 19

Likewise, this first quote...

"When they can trust that you know what you’re doing, they are going to give you more chances."

Also not Ron Rivera.  It's from Scott Simonson, talking about himself.  See it here: Simonson making a strong push for a roster spot

See, we historians tend to like things in context, and preferably attributed to the people who actually said them.

So once again, you're shown to be a phony with no credibility.

He's not around the team at all.

Zod outed him as a phony.  He's just a guy sitting at his computer in Winston-Salem.

And apparently, he can't even get his quotes right.

Don't waste your time on him. You know your stuff that's all that matters.
