He reminded us that he's still just a rookie. He had a horrible performance. A couple drops he should've had, some bad routes and the fumble that gave up a TD. Hope he can improve from this game by watching the tape but we can't ignore that he was pretty horrible today.

He had a terrible, terrible day.  But it wasn't completely terrible.   A lot of his bad plays were really close to being good plays.  In the fumble play, he made a great catch right before losing the ball.  In one of his drops, he made a great catch, but the defender ripped it away from him.  In the failed TD catch where he couldn't find the ball, he was still in a great position to make a play.  He still needs a lot of work, but he shouldn't be too bummed out about it.

Look, he IS a rookie but goddammit was he horrible today. There's no excuse for his performance. He should have been benched. If your head isn't in the game, then don't play. Benjamin let our offense down when we needed him the most.

 

He shouldn't have been benched and you're blowing it way out of proportion.  He had a bad game it happens.

Patience is a virtue.. he's a rookie and you should expect him to have a few stinkers his first two seasons. Once he hits his stride, he's going to be unstoppable, but not if we bench him every time he has a bad game, as it'll ruin his confidence.

 

Give him some time to develop. It'll pay huge dividends in the long run.

    • Correct this logic I might if it meant taking his guaranteed money now and spread it over 3 years (2026-2028) and maybe add $6m.  I am not sure you can do that, or that he would do it, but it would be a way for him to extend his career and bank accounts and we would be getting him for $6m for 2 years (if healthy), basically, since his entire salary is guaranteed now.  If not, we lose an additional $6m spread over 2 years.  So let's say his guaranteed $$ for 2026 is $18m.  Give him a $24m contract ($8m per) through 2028.  Worst case:  We get $10m in cap relief now and create $3m dead cap for 2 years (2027-8).   Best case?  We get cap relief now and a good/decent guard/tackle for 2 years (2027-2028) and the total salary per year when he is active would be $12m if you don't count any money for the season he cannot play.  That is a good value, and we'd basically be getting a 50% discount rate.  Since we have so much guaranteed now, extending him is not as crazy as it seems.   Something has to be wrong with this logic...      
    • I don't disagree about Nikishin's potential availability, but Hamilton as a replacement? Not an upgrade in my book.
