Benjamin getting praise on cbssports

Recommended Posts

In the Panthers' preseason game vs. the Chiefs, Benjamin was routinely blowing past defensive backs and getting open deep. Newton targeted him on one such deep pass but overthrew him -- proof positive that their rhythm is a work in progress. He body-caught another target for a 24-yard gain that eventually led to a Panthers touchdown, but again he got open. It's his size-speed combination that had the Panthers drooling during the draft process and Benjamin has put it on display in the preseason.

I haven't played FF since 06', but I can't imagine how a top 5 FF player(I think) in Cam could last until the 7th or 8th rounds this year.  As far as Benjamin, I have a feeling he will surprise everyone in the football world, outside of the Huddle.

 

Basically, a good RB is hard to find these days, so their value is higher than that of other positions. there are 2-3 RBs that can get you 20 pts a game, but there are 5-10 QBs that can do it.

Which is a great example of why FF sucks.  The system is terribly antiquated.  In reality, that situation is flip flopped.  An elite QB is far more valuable than an elite RB.

Kelvin ran a 4.53 in the combine, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bad day.. KB has blazing speed.

I think his first 20 yard split isn't that fast but I think his stride and top gear are deceptively fast, and that is what seems to set him apart on go routes.

I don't have any proof outside of him blowing past defenders though.

Blowing past defenders that can't catch you has to count for something. :)

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
