This Kelvin Benjamin weight issue is getting blown out of proportion.

The fact that he has a history of putting on weight and coming into camp a bit out of shape (even going back to college) is a little worrisome.  How is he going to react once he gets that big contract?  Is he going to become complacent and be an albatross on our salary cap?

I would not want to go through that criticism more than once, and Jerry Rice didn't last 20 yrs. by struggling to stay in shape. I think guys who stay in shape year round have longer careers and fewer injuries.

That said, I don't believe KB is 280 lbs. and he's got over two months until training camp. Let's give the guy a break.

is that actually him?

it sure is. he'll still be our #1 receiver and still put up roughly 1K and 10 TD's like he does every season. even with the new guys. 

CMC and Samuel will take TD away from him. He won't sniff 10 this year.

Also KB strikes me as a a guy that you have to motivate too much. He's not self motivated.  If he was he'd never be out of shape at the start of training camp. 

This tells me he hasn't learned how to be a professional yet.  At this point in his career you'd think he'd get it. 

I'd be looking for a trade partner already to be honest. This team functioned better without him. Add CMC and Samuel, increase Funchess role and add Shepard and CJ2. I think we'd be alright without him.

However, he is fully healthy now, and at a time that most young. hungry players are spending time working on their craft...

 

 

I think that's the problem...

I say give him another chance. Let’s hope he doesn't end up eating my words too though.

Watch out!  Looks like he has been eating everything in sight!!!

Left tackle maybe!!!!!!

How do we know he didn't give his knee some more time to heal?

I remember towards the end of last season there were talks about his knee swelling--

There are a lot of assumptions and witch hunts going on without all the facts..

Part of that is the teams fault-- if you throw out a blurb like " he's a little heavy" without filling in the gaps--

The peanut gallery will always fill the gaps instead.

So how about we see how the offseason goes and how he looks in games this year before passing judgement of dedication etc.

We don't see what he does in his off time-- maybe he works out 24/7 or maybe it's XBOX-- who knows.

Don't just make it up-- that's what I'm saying.

He had health issues and passed out.
