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."

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
