Kelvin Benjamin: Panthers Playmaker


firefox1234

Recommended Posts

After 3 weeks i think it is about time the Panthers offense start getting KB involved from the get go! The running game isnt gonna carry us and the defense can only give the offense so much time to score.

Kelvin Benjamin had shown he can come big and make plays when we need it the most also in my opinion this would help him evolve as a WR and truly reinforce his chemistry with Cam. I am surprised this has not been mentioned sooner but I think its time KB is given his big boy pants, he has shown he deserves them!

Our offense right now lacks spark and I like to think Shula realizes that. Cam at the moment cant be the one making all the plays with his feet since his injuries seem to be catching up to him. KB needs to be more involved from the start and force defenses to honour him which will inturn open up space for other players.

Just imagine a stacked offense where defenses have to keep a safety to watch KB, a linebacker or corner watching Olsen and at the same time they have to worry about Cam and the other WRs. We could even see a revival of our running game in the process. Call me an idiot but in my opinion this is a top 5 offense just ready to ignite!

The steelers loss may hurt but in my opinion it showed that this offense has huge amounts of untapped potential but for some reason Shula or whoever isnt using it. I hope things start clicking soon or else this season will be a long one. How long do you think our defense can hold while our snail paced offense takes its time against better teams like Seattle, Chicago, and Green Bay comin up.

I think Cam missing out on preseason and training camp is starting to show.

 

DA has already figured out that one-on-one with KB means throw a soft pitch in the air for him to go get. It really ain't that hard. 

 

Cam did. KB mis-timed his jump. Should have been a TD

 

He also did it last week, but KB was out of bounds

Cam is completing nearly 70% of his passes while playing with broken ribs behind the worst OL in the league.

Cam haters need to go shoot themselves.

lindseyj, I am in no way a Cam hater. I'm one of his biggest proponents and always have been - at least after the Panthers drafted him. I think he's in extraordinary talent that I've really never seen before. 

 

Injuries, OL play and lack of running game aside, I thought Cam could have taken more shots to KB when the Steelers were in man-to-man coverage. KB's a mismatch on any one DB. Exploit the mismatch until they adjust. Make them adjust and then find the weakness created by that adjustment.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
