PFF: Bene Best Rookie CB Through 2 Games

I take everything from PFF with a grain of salt, but according to them (on ESPN Insider - Top 10 NFL Newcomers):

 

5. Bené Benwikere, Carolina Panthers
If there's one thing better than a rookie performing well right out of the gate, it's a fifth-round rookie doing so. Benwikere came across my radar with an impressive run of preseason performances, but he has carried those across to the regular season. He is the best-graded rookie cornerback at PFF, and unlike Jason Verrett just below him, he has put together two consistently good games, rather than one very good one. Quarterbacks targeting Benwikere so far have a passer rating of just 56.2.

 

Also ranks KB 7th:

 

7. Kelvin Benjamin, Carolina Panthers
Like Watkins, Benjamin has been asked to step in right away and be the No. 1 receiver for the Panthers. Benjamin hasn't quite managed a 100-yard receiving game yet, but his first game saw 92 yards and a touchdown on six catches. His second game saw a few unfortunate drops but also one of the most spectacular plays of the short season, hauling in a fantastic one-handed grab down the left sideline for a significant gain.

He's been very promising so far.  He's also the only rookie CB with the luxury of playing behind our front seven.  It's amazing what ramshackle secondaries have been able to do in this defense the last year and early on this year.  I really think we're going to become a go-to spots for free agents with something to prove.  Ginn and Mitchell both came here last year after getting very little interest on the open market.  Both got paid.  We reloaded with similar replacements and just kept on marching.  Life with a real GM I guess.

Love PFF when they praise Panther players, hate PFF when they don't.

That's why I said I take everything they say with a grain of salt. There seems to be little rhyme or reason into rankings for CERTAIN positions. For example, I think it's hard to accurately rank offensive line and secondary play - you simply don't know all the facts of the scheme, play call, who's responsible for whom, etc.

Never owned a CB jersey.  Hmmm, Big Pay Bene may just be the first.

 

Remember when Richard Marshall and his agent used to say that he'd one day be the highest paid defensive player in the league and then he had to take a prove it deal from Arizona because not even Hurney was dumb enough to pay him?  LOL!

I remember being confused all the time as to whether Gamble was actually good or not. That was frustrating.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
