If you say so. 

I think he was slow.  That he only got separation on busted coverage.  He had a low football I.Q.  and kept into every offseason out of shape and had to work himself back into shape.  He even did so on a contract (essentially) year. He was tied for worst in the entire league in separation so that meant Cam had to basically throw into coverage on most of his completions.  So if you can get and shape and be ready in a contract year......  

He could box out and had good hands but could easily be taken out of a game.  Teams did not roll coverage to his side.  Did not double team except lately on 3rd downs they have.  Dre Bly was talking about how the Saints and other teams did not fear him at all.   He basically did nothing that would force teams to change their defensive game plan in anyway.  But he is our "best" WR. 

Greg Olsen is by far  our best receiver in my opinion, followed by CMC, but if he is the best they we were fu$%$% anyway. 

 

Every thing you said can by repeated for Funchess. Except the fact Funchess gets less separation against second rate corners. Let’s not forget what Captain said last year about Funchess.

And your wrong in both fronts, teams did roll coverage to his side, and he was our most doubled player.

 

Danny Woodhead Jr is not even close to our best receiver, going up against linebackers only averaging 7 yards a receptions is horrible.

Exactly.  It can be repeated for Funchess but Funchess isn't due 8.4 million next year.  Isn't out of shape, run's better routes, and doesn't have the football I.Q. of a tomato. 

Dre Bly was on WFNZ (i think it's called) I was listeng to internet radio.  He was on the saints staff when they played us and is specifically stating that teams don't roll their coverage to KB anymore because he doesn't scare anyone.   It was said by another ex CB after the bears game as well, just can't remember who as of now. 

The double teams were more to the fact that KB was Newton's most trusted 3rd down option and they knew he would be the first read in that situation. 

Danny Woodhead Jr, would average a lot more if the passes were better tbh.  More on Cam imo watching the video's but doesn't matter to me either way.

Of all the cringey things he said, this is the worst one.

 

"Benji was just too talented to pull of the field, he had to go to make way for these inferior players."

Yup that's our stupid GM and the severe lack of intelligence is all around our FO now.

Here's the thing.  If Hurney is hair brained enough that he would trade away KB in order to "force" Ron and Shula to adapt and evolve the offense without them having to man up and hurt someone's feelings, then they are already failures at their jobs of leading men.  And if the end result is that they get canned, the Panthers are still without KB.  Fug Marty.

I was stunned when I first saw the news of this trade. After about an hour I began to under stand the rationale.

If I were GM, I don't think I would've had the nerve to pull this off. But, if the younger guys  (Byrd, Samuel ) can actually manage to stretch the field this could work, especially with Greg Olsen coming back later this year. Cam's best season occurred when he didn't have Benjamin for the entire year.

I definitely don't think KB is worth 8mil a year in our offensive scheme. I don't think it would have been wise to sign him to a longer term deal after the 2018 season. With the extra picks and cap space, we should be able to address the holes on this team in the off season.

I do wish KB well. He's been thru a lot the past couple of years. I hope he balls out up in Buffalo.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
