Kelvin Benjamin through 1/4 of the Season

[h0llywood]

No surprise here, he is leading the pack for the Offensive Rookie of the Year.

1. Kelvin Benjamin, Carolina Panthers- Benjamin was one of the lone bright spots in the Panthers blowout loss to the Ravens as he caught five more passes for 76 yards and another touchdown. If you were allowed to re-draft, Benjamin would be the first receiver taken and a Top 10 pick.

1. Kelvin Benjamin: His 329 receiving yards and three TDs pace all rookies. Such output is even more impressive considering he stepped right into the No. 1 role vacated by Smith in Carolina despite pre-draft concerns about his polish and NFL readiness.

 

 

Is Benjamin the lone bright star for this team in midst of this 2 week hiccup? I would say Olsen is playing well but aside from that, Benjamin is standing out as an individual player.

 

He is currently 9th in total yards among all WR's while Evans, Cooks and Watkins are 44th, 45th and 48th. The three other WR's avg. 10.7 YPC while Benji is at 15.7. The 4 combined TD's of the three WR's are only 1 more than Benjamin alone.

Can't believe this big fuger chose #13.

I would add Cam as a bright spot, cause he has shown he doesn't need his legs to make plays and he is more than capable of being a pocket passer and maybe even one of the best some day....

But KB is definitely the main bright spot just because it is his rookie season and he has adapted well to his new diet that includes DBs for breakfast, lunch and dessert.

I would call Benji the lone bright spot.  I expect what we're getting out of Olsen.  I didn't expect KB to be this good this soon.  He's had some drops, but he makes up for those by making some ridiculous catches that he probably shouldn't make so it all balances out.

I would agree with this.  Even though he's playing banged up, Cam is throwing the ball from the pocket better than ever.

[CPF4LIFE]

God i want another dynamic receiver so bad, but i will settle for a offensive line first.

[FootballMaestro]

And KB is doing all this, with out even being the focus.

 

What happens when Shula learns to pick on the defender covering Benjamin on the side lines, as many other/good OC's seem to do all the time (not calling Shula a good OC)?

This line is very offensive...

It's probably not the best number Kelvin coulda picked as far as jersey sales go.

So true!

If you live in Northern California and wear anything blue with the number 13 on it you are asking to get shot.

It's a gang thing.

yea it wont do much good if Cam has less than two seconds to throw and we have no run game.
