Kelvin Benjamin was the only offensive player defenses had to scheme around

[PhillyB]

Who else demands bracketed coverage? Who else sniffs a thousand yards and 10TDs a year?

Benjamin was popular on the team. Early reports seem to indicate this did not go over well.

Did he have an attitude problem? Good coaching would've fixed it. Trading a player is an easy out. No third rounder will do for us what Benjamin did.

This is a lance through the heart of the 2017 Carolina Panthers, and possibly Cam's career with us.

This will not sit well with Cam.

Should’ve dangled him today as well if you were moving Benji

[GoobyPls]

Yep he was the only one who got doubled and bracket coverage.

He also took up the opposing teams number 1 corner 

[Growl]

he also would have netted a 3rd round comp pick

 

Marty hurney is like a poison

[fieryprophet]

Kelvin hasn't been getting bracketed in ages. Look at last game, the Bucs stuck a midget on him all alone.

And while Cam and Kelvin may have been buddies, Cam didn't seem to get through to Kelvin to take his craft seriously. How many times has he shown up overweight?

If this move frees Samuel to see the field more and let Funchess get more consistent targets than it may be a blessing in disguise.

[Lemory]

Maybe they thought having both Funchess and KB out there at the same time was redundant? I dont know man i cant make any sense of this move, KB was well liked in the locker room and was Cams go to target in the redzone. Our offense struggles enough as it is so trading away our best WR is foolish when our WR depth is poo. 

[Delhommey]

Well, it's decided. The all time worst roster move in Panthers history was getting a new heart for Richardson. 

[Growl]

LOL if he was traded because of some garbage emotional semantics then I will sincerely want this team to just go away because it will be the complete embodiment of what Richardson brought Hurney in to do noe manifestating on the playing field itself

instead of getting better on offense we just got even worse

[TheRed]

KB basically got shut down by a midget against the Bucs.

Even if I were on the fence about KB as a player, this trade and the timing is just plain awful if we get no immediate starter in return.

Greg Olsen is the #1 WR and demands double coverage

And it only cost the lives of several other more deserving candidates in the process.

He still had the winning touchdown. you cant say we are better without him. DOnt mention 2015, totally different scenario. MVP cam, olsen, and actual run game.
