Bene?

Hate to see how this guys career ended.  That leg injury derailed his career.   

Everyone remembers the Julio meltdown 

People forget he ended up grading out as the top rookie DB after his rookie season.  And all those redrafts you see writers put out, he was top 15 pick in theirs.  He started off strong the next year, him and Norman were a helluva duo.  Then that leg break vs Atlanta and he was never the same

Truth. Felt like we did him dirty scapegoating him for that ATL disaster too. Almost like we punished him for admitting that he probably wasn't physically ready to be out there yet.

The Julio game is a garbage, lazy response to why he shouldn't get a look. Bene was a slot corner not fully recovered from a broken bone that was asked to cover one of the most athletic WRs in the league. That is trash tier coaching (even with Bradberry out).

The fact that he has never looked the same after the injury is what really matters.

We were night and day in the secondary in 2015 versus 2014 when that game happened. You cannot scoff that aside. The big part of that improvement was reloading the secondary with frankly better talent.

This fanbase can never decide what it wants. Bitch and moan and call for everyone's head when we lose then turn around and want to bring back players on those losing teams.

Trying to pull down Norman to prop up Bene lol.

After Bene left:15-1

After Norman left: 6-10

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

You do realize that Bene played and started  that season.  Panthers were 13-0 with him and Norman BOTH Starting that year (2-1 to close the season after his leg break)

 

 

But you're right.  Panthers went 6-10 the following year after Norman left and post Bene leg break (which has been pointed out was the downfall of his career)

 

Im by no means saying we should sign him now.

But the ones pointing to just the Julio game calling him a terrible player clearly jumped on the bandwagon after the superbowl

Bene was let go during 2016 season. Nice try. You even referenced the 300 yard Jones game from that season.

I get what you're saying but Norman was a big part of that 2015 season. Didn't he basically win us a couple of games himself at the end with some swatted passes and interceptions?

I've got nothing against Bene in all seriousness. I sympathize with how his career went after he was cut. Was it fair? Nah. But he isn't the only player out there who has gotten shafted and taken the fall. At least he's made some money for his troubles, better than most.
