While Kelvin Benjamin has been anointed a "legitimate No. 1" after 1 preseason catch...

[WhoAmI?]

Yes, come back LaFell and Ginn so you can drop some more balls.

[Ruff]

This thread is going places.

[Mother Grabber]

Justin Hunter just scored a TD...we NEED him!!!!

[magnus]

LaFell was a starter here and is apparently on the field with the 2s because they went 3 wide.  If he, at best, beat their 4th CB I'm not that impressed.

This old troll account again?

 

For those that aren't familiar, TonyN doesn't like Cam Newton, and he's not even a Panthers fan.

Jimmy Clausen - 2 and 0

Cam Newton - 0 and 1

Why limit the revisionist history to the WRs?

[SIGCHI222]

It appears that Steve Smith might still be able to play...

And it doesn't appear that Brandon Lafail is doing too badly either.

Ted Ginn has battled injuries in Phoenix, but everyone knows what you are getting with him--- a pure speed guy---a burner with limitations, but a legit deep threat who can stretch the defense.

 

Benjamin is going to have to be very, very, very productive as a rookie in order for the new group of wideouts to be better than last years group of solid, if unspectacular players.

 

It might be sobering to remember that only 7 rookie receivers in the last 20 years have gone for more than 1000 yards in their first NFL campaign. And none of them are in Benjamin's mold as a player.

... ban?

[Rags]

I can suit up and catch a TD against the Eagles secondary. 

[SIGCHI222]

... ban?

anybody who was here in 2012 should remember him

 

he's the guy who started all those topics about how the safety against denver was cam's fault and how third down completion percentage was the most important qb stat

[PhillyB]

as a rookie KB is still better than anyone we had at WR last season.

 

cotchery is also as good as anyone we would've played at WR2 last season.

 

as long as the OL plays up to par we'll be fine.

I will gladly take 900 yards and 7 TD's.  He doesn't need 1000 yards to have a big impact.  His size and ability can open up passing lanes for others like Olsen.  

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

if cotchery and avant put up the exact same stats as ginn and lafell did last year and benjamin has like 800 yards and 6 TDs then that's an improvement over 2013 btw

 

people were saying ginn was worthless and lafell sucked and smith was done prior to 2013 too.  the talking points are slightly different but it's the same poo in a different year.
