Benjamin needs more Smitty in him

[FootballMaestro]

He's had like 2-3 offensive pass inferences. One which probably took away our game closing win last week. poo one holding penalty where he mauled a guy

 

Yup Yup.

 

He's probably learning, trying to find a balance.

 

You can't blame him for that, especially after those two TD robbing Penalties, and the one or two others for decent gains.

[Evodion]

He doesn't have smiths personality, he's not that guy, but either is megatron so I'm ok with that. He will only get better.

OP is trolling

[EcoFina]

Just a reminder, Dave Gettleman cut the heart out of the Panthers locker room.

 

[cptx]

he could prly fit about 3.5 smiths in there

Lock this thread.

first pass Cam made to him today in the end zone looked like one Smitty would have caught- it would have taken a guy committed to wrestling the damn ball away from the defender. I like KB but he needs to work on his ball aggression skills imo.

I completely agree, and I'd go a step further and say that one that he high pointed, he should have scored on as well. He did end up scoring later in the drive.

I do feel like he needs to be more aggressive on the field, but that will come with time and confidence. I also agree with most posters that this is the last thing we need to worry about.

Looking at the game today... This is about number 5036 of the things we should worry about.

 

 

yeah dude youre right.  touch downs dont matter.

 

 

OP has a point but he is a rookie and has been anointed the #1 receiver gig.  He can and most likely will get better in such situations and I hope in future weeks that is the only shortcoming we need to address as a team. 

 

In the Baltimore and Pittsburgh game I could pick out a few plays that tilted the tide.  In contrast this was a complete failure by the entire team and I cant point to a single play that really tilted the outcome. 

 

Sometimes you lose.

This team could use a Smitty pep talk. Don't know what Ron is telling them, but it ain't working

[blackcat]

Ball aggression skills? Is there such a thing?

Wish my wife had some.

[DamnItJake!]

KB needs accurate throws so he can run upfield

I think the pass was behind him a little and with the momentum he had, could not adjust early.

[top dawg]

Sorry guys but it is a problem imo at this point.  KB seems lacksadaisacal - I want fire out of my number 1 WR

 

I don't disagree with you. I will say, however, that I am not sure that KB is a true WR1.  He is probably more of a 1-2 hybrid.  That being said, we need another competitive WR with some attitude in our midst,

[KendrickPanther]

I agree Kelvin could use some of Steve's qualities but that play didn't stand out to me as a particularly bad one. 

 

There is only one Steve Smith and there will only be one Steve Smith. I don't think anyone could replicate his attitude while still being charming.
