PFF Says Kelvin Benjamin Is "One Of The NFL's Most Reliable Recievers" ....

[JawnyBlaze]

It's PFF....

[dcpanther89]

Funchess and Benjamin are redundant receivers with little support for then now that we have added speed in the run game and pass they will both be more productive

His rookie season he was much less reliable. His third season he was much more lazy than his rookie season. Both were a problem. Hopefully with a new coach he will correct being lazy and learn how to run block.

Being reliable (catching) is not the same thing as being effective (getting open). When the ball is thrown his way he is great with coming up with the catch...but he's got to get open to demand more passes his way.

Whoever made this conveniently left out arguably his two biggest criticisms which are his lack of effort and that he mainly produces in garbage time.

Inconsistency is KB's biggest issue, nothing else, the clamoring on here about trading him and not extending the 5th year option is laughable

This.  KB has flashed his insane potential.  Can't remember the game last year, but there was a stretch where Twitter was basically just a bunch of "wow", "if only he did this all the time", "if he ever learns to do this consistently...". 

Talent isn't the issue.  He's every bit of Mike Evans (or better) when he wants it.  Consistently wanting it is the next step. If that comes, he's officially a monster.

Mike Evans has left KB in the dust at this point. He has a ways to go.

Someone did something cool on reddit a couple of months ago pretty much at the end of our season, debunking a lot of claims that "KB sucks" with his own take:

_________________________________________________________________________________

Claim: Kelvin Benjamin gets too many penalties

Proof Provided: None

 

The first claim is that Kelvin Benjamin hinders his team with the amount of penalties he draws for the offense and his poor decision making. Because decision making is not a stat that I can accurately measure, or measure at all for that matter, penalties will have to do. In 2016, the Panthers have received 84 penalties, good for the 23rd spot in most penalties accepted. 48 have been on the offense and 19 have been on the defense. Of these 48 penalties on the offense, five have been from Benjamin, which is about 9.5% of the offense's penalties. With 13 games played, this comes about to about half a penalty a game for three yards, and a total of forty on the season. In terms of ranking among all NFL players, Kelvin is 115th in penalties, with three Panther's players ahead of him: Andrew Norwell, Trai Turner and Mike Remmers. Among wide receivers, Benjamin ranks ninth, with Devin Funchess being tenth. (All stats provided by nflpenalties.com)

 

Result: In conclusion, we can rule out penalties as the main problem with Kelvin Benjamin this season.

Claim: Drops are Kelvin Benjamin's main problem

Proof Provided: None

 

The second claim that I found is that Kelvin Benjamin drops the ball too much. This season, Kelvin Benjamin has dropped ONE pass, roughly one percent of all targets, down 90% from 2014. While he ranked third in 2014 (and Ted Ginn ranked second last year), Kelvin currently ranks 211th in the league in drops this year. Currently, all Panther's offensive skill position players are ahead of KB in drops, with the one exception being Philly Brown. Ed Dickson and Mike Tolbert lead the team with drops on 18% of all targets, good for 3rd and 4th place among all players with eight or more receptions. (stats provided by sportingcharts.com)

Result: Obviously False.

 

 

Result: So therefore, how can a player merely being on a roster effect the team? Surely that stat line has to buy his roster spot.

Holy reasoned arguments batman! 

Well done this man.

I still think he has a bounce back season. Crow induced comas abroad. 

If you'd look at my posts, I think so too. Think biggest thing making him struggle as much as he did was the injury, which he's further removed from now.
