I think I was wrong about Kelvin Benjamin

Lead National NFL Writer For Bleacher Report Aaron Nagler:

Aaron Nagler @ AaronNagler

I will admit - Kelvin Benjamin looks ten times better than I thought he would this early on.

Assistant Editor for BuffaloBillsDraft.com Joe Marino:

Joe Marino @ TheJoeMarino

Kelvin Benjamin has really looked better than I anticipated he would.

This is what Pete Prisco had to say about the Panthers drafting KB:

"Kelvin Benjamin is a big receiver, but I liked others more...Grade: D"

Honestly, mid-way through last season he was my #1 choice and was all the way until Gross retired. Then I lost my way and coveted the position of LT over the guy I wanted.

After the draft my friend said, "you are an idiot. You preach BPA then when your team takes the guy you wanted for five months, a guy who was BPA and at a position of severe need you are worried." He was right

KB is a guaranteed mismatch on every play.  The elite offenses load up on mismatch players and allow QB’s to make the pre-snap read to go to those guys.  Denver, N.E. and the Saints do this for 4 quarters and put up 30 plus points per game.  I think teams will blanket him all season.  The question is if KB being doubled teamed will open up other aspects of this offense enough to put up points.  If they can do that I think our defense is good enough to put up a bunch of wins again.

the solution is to run more 2 TE sets which I have yet to really see.... It should be a staple...

I agree and I think they are saving this for the regular season.

I hope so.  I won't be shocked if that's not entirely true though..  This team is set up to run 2 TE sets as a staple offense and it will be a huge shame if used sparingly.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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).
