By Ryan Riddle

 

according to ryan riddle.... He has his reasons and a host of other crap to read If you ready the article.

 

From film studies, its clear Benjamin is capable of some impressive plays, but when you put his entire body of work together, several limitations are also presented. In all, I’d say the 6’5”, 235-pound rookie wideout is a one-dimensional weapon who landed in the right place to maximize his early production.

Don’t get me wrong, Benjamin is certainly valuable and has done a nice job in his first five games as a pro. But his skillset as a wide receiver is still limited.

 

 

 

 

Benjamin still has value as a quality weapon in this league and should be able to improve some things about his game. But for those of you expecting him to be the next Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant or Julio Jones, think again.

What an idiot.

Except, you know, stats and all.

 

KB so far: 416 yards 4 tds

KB projected over 16 games: 1109 yards 11 tds

 

Megatron's rookie season: 756 yards 4 tds

Bryant's rookie season: 561 yards 6 tds

Jones' rookie season: 924 yards 4 tds

 

KB has ALREADY equaled two of their TD totals six games into the season. He is on pace to shatter Bryant's yardage mark and beat the other two by a healthy margin.  Even if KB doesn't maintain the level he's been playing at, he'll still easily surpass every stat I listed except possibly Jones' yards if KB takes a steep decline.  Is he Megatron?  Probably not.  Is he on the level of Dez and Julio?  I'd say so, with room to exceed them.

 

edit: because I forgot we've played 6, not 5 games.

I guarantee you that if Kelvin went to any other team than the Panthers, they would be claiming him the next elite WR. What is it with the Panthers and the media. Can we have anything? It seems like everybody good we have are either overrated or will be a bust in the next 2 years according to the media. He has only played freakin 6 games, what is with these people?

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
