Prediction: Kelvin Benjamin > Sammy Watkins


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
