@SigmundBloom Kelvin Benjamin will be younger on draft day than Roddy White and Javon Walker were when they were drafted. Not really bothered by his age.

@SigmundBloomAnother player in the Kelvin

Benjamin mold (ie tolerate drops/lapses because big plays) is Demaryius Thomas

I love the comparison because it signifies exactly the risk reward package you get with kb. I think this is his ceiling imo.

The Combine, pro days, team workouts, and ultimately if he's there at 28 and we pick him will tell the story..for us in reference to our guys anyway.

 

If the pros really believe that he can be on the level of Thomas, then he may be gone. Of course if you have some other guys that put you in the mind of other players, then there's that dynamic as well (e.g., Brandin Cooks and Smitty).  Sure there is only one 89, but if people believe that Brandin Cooks can be anywhere in the vicinity of a young 89, then the decisions get a bit tougher.  

 

Lastly, I don't believe that Benjamin has the speed of DT, which kind of throws a monkey wrench in the comparison.

I read the comparison and I don't see it. If Benjamin is anybody, he's Roddy White. Putting up with dropped passes and mental lapses for explosive plays is something Mike Wallace and Dez Bryant are known for too.

 

Not really Dez, maybe early in his career. But at this point he doesn't really drop passes or have mental lapses. 

 

I think we really need a big play receiver and a good redzone target. Benjamin is the best available, and if he's there at 28 I say we gotta take him.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
