I absolutely loved drafting 13, and most of us have given him a grace period for suffering that really awful injury, but if we're being completely honest, there have been numerous signs that his work ethic is just not there.  That includes the times he gave up on routes.  

At this point he has no excuse to not be within his playing weight and trying to get better if he really wants to thrive in this league.  He's lucky he can rely on his size but he needs to put in that work.

This. Thus far, it seems like KB has been getting by almost solely on raw talent. The guy can be great if he wants to be.

Honestly, this was part of his knock coming out of college.

 

I love KB, I'm fine with the production from him so far...minus the 1 lost season...especially considering where we got him, and how little he costs us.

However, if he really wants to play in this league for a while, he will need to learn to be a pro....something that he doesn't seem to be understanding right now.

I almost wonder if he and Cam have "too good" of a relationship right now?

So we have already picked up Kelvin's fifth year option. 

If I gaze into my crystal ball this is what I see happening. This upcoming season (year four) for Kelvin, will be a somewhat of a disappointment, same for Funchess. However, our offense will benefit from the varied and viable options we have provided Cam. 

Panthers win Superbowl beating the Patriots and Olsen retires. 

Panthers draft a tight end with pick 32. 

Kelvin will swear in the offseason that he's taking things seriously as they will need him to be a leader with Olsen retiring., hint: he will because that oh so coveted second contract is looming and Kelvin is no spring chicken (already 26). 

Year 5 comes. Kelvin has worked himself into shape and looks amazing. Basically everything we've always wanted from him. However, Funchess has a great season as well, remember Funchess is only (22) right now. He probably came out a year too early and it historically takes WRs a couple years to hit their stride. 

Big time decision will come down to Gettleman and co. and I ultimately think we move on from Benjamin where he goes on to sign with the Los Angeles Rams.
