Restart: WR Kelvin Benjamin's Sophomore Season Was A Dud - Why He'll Be Back As A WR1 This Year

[MV%doe]

Im still a huge KB believer. He's still going to be a true #1, watch the doubters forget all their crazy "trade him for 5th derp derp, hes trash herp derp, cut his lazy ass derp". I'll be able to spam my favorite KB pic when this starts happening too!!

- pied someone who said Bersin should return punts instead of Ginn

Yep. Golden Boy (AKA the GOAT) should be returning punts instead of Ginn. That's why I pied it. I can't wait for the Panthers to have more of this on the field!

I love doing it as a hobby.

You have some major skill.

If it's a hobby, I would pitch it for freelance if you are worried it would become restricting.

I'd love to see him learn how to play pissed off. If he used aggression on every play he would burn the league down and no db would want to cover him.

 

great post! Great insight into last season. I can't wait to see what happens this year. I think for a variety of reasons this team wasn't ready for the success of 2015 and we've learned a lot of hard lessons and overcome injuries. I think with the infusion of old friends and more talent in the draft, this team will become unleashed again.

I really want to think you're joking but I'm not sure...?

Looks like someone may have gotten an idea from reading the debate between me and @top dawg.

good stuff!

This was so well done I actually printed a hard copy and read it.

Nice write up. Much better than the typical read on here

Yep. I think that's what inspired me to write this, but I never really got the time to do that until this weekend really.

I won't quote it because it takes up too much space.

This is a positive for us.  The sky is falling and our WR are the worst in the NFL gets old.

This all makes sense and our front office is keenly aware of it.

Outstanding write up and look forward to reading more.

I wouldn't say it was a dud season being 67 yards and 2 TDs shy of his rookie year.

IF his slump area hadn't been so bad he could have had a fantastic year.

Even with our issues we were six 3 point or less games away from being 12-4 or 11-5 or at worst 10-6. We have a lot to be excited about for this season.

Good write up.

I agree that he will have a better 2017 than 2016 and think health - and better line play - will contribute to that being the case.

I still think he is miscast as our #1 receiver - with a return to form he could be a very strong #2.  I think you need more speed, separation, and consistency out of a true #1.  Even in 2014 Kelvin was a very inefficient (yet very productive) player.

Adding a WR like Corey Davis in the first round would make Benjamin a better receiver.

Even with a healthy KB, WR is the worst position group on this roster.
