And I'm sorry, look at all these gifs and tell me HE DOESN'T HAVE HANDS!!! IT'S A GOD DAMN LIE!!!

 

He has good hands, but he sometimes tried to run before he caught the ball on the easy or routine catches (concentration).   He was looking for the big play.  He is going to be a good one.

Nice GIF's.

 

One thing I notice about Benjamin (among many): He tracks the ball well. 

 

You notice in most of his highlights, he turns around, extends or explodes, and catches the ball with the DB on his feet, or out of position.

 

This is because, instead of turning around early and allowing the DB to fight, jostle with him, KB just appears to turn at the right time and find the space to catch the ball.This is also cause he runs decent routes, and/can be shifty, before (as well as after the catch as we've seen). 

 

Of course, NFL DB's will be better. However, I fee this bodes well for him in the future.

The guy has a lot of potential and I sure hope he does become the panthers top WR for the next 10 years but to say better than Watkins is a very bold statement but then again how many times has those can't miss players get drafted in the top 10 and end up becoming a bust? Look at the 2005 NFL draft, 6 WRS taken in the first and only one is still playing and he was the last WR drafted in the first with the #27 pick, Roddy White. Braylon Edwards, Troy Williamson, Mike Williams, Matt Jones, Mark Clayton were the others drafted in the 1st round. Who knows maybe its time we finally got lucky on WRs in the Draft for once.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
