Realistic Expectations for Kelvin Benjamin This Season

What say you, Huddle?

 

I know he is somewhat raw. I know he needs polishing and coaching just as all rookies do.

 

What realistic expectations should we have for KB this season? After all, he is a first round selection and Gettleman has said all along he wanted someone who could come in and make an impact instantly in the first round. 

 

If nothing else he should be a legitimate weapon in the Red Zone and grab a handful of touchdowns there as a rookie. 

 

I'd be satisfied with a 45-55 reception year/650-750 yards/5-8 touchdowns.

20-30 catches, primarily as a redzone player.  I expect something similar to Alshon Jeffery's rookie production.  It's going to take him more than one year to develop into a true #1 receiver.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
