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.

    • And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.
    • I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee
    • 3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
