Catching up with KB

I caught up with Kelvin Benjamin after the game to get a sense of his excitement level after just finishing his first real game as a pro and also catching his first touchdown.

 

His excitement level was, well, low.

Kelvin is not a player that is surprised by his own success. He isn't cocky at all. He has a nonchalant confidence to him that is very charming and instantly likeable. He has more of a presence than most 3rd year players, and then some.

 

Even though he had the best opening day rookie wide receiver performance in Panthers history, he still wasn't excited. When asked what grade he would give himself on the game, "About a C" was his reply.

 

I thought maybe I would get some excitement out of him by asking him if he is keeping tabs on the other receivers taken before him in the draft. Possibly using that as a chip on his shoulder.  "That is not even on my list. I mean, I don't care what they do. Right now my performance is about my team and winning games" Kelvin answered.

 

Still, I pressed. Kelvin, are you sure you had no butterflies in your stomach before the game?

 

"None at all man, its football."

 

Well then, what is your ceiling? Are you aiming for rookie of the year?

 

"Man, I'm aiming for a Superbowl. That's what we want as a team. That's all on my mind right now."

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
