Sorry to burst your bubble, but KB may not be a WR1

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

I don't think you know what "emo" means.

I don't know man drive by shitposting does make me think of sunny day real estate for some reason.

KB was forced into the role of a number 1 WR since day 1. He has zero help out there with him, he sees the opposing teams best corner each week (fwiw Keenan Lewis is very underrated). If you watched KB in college drops aren't something new with him. So to have the expectation of him coming here and catching everything is unrealistic. Unrealistic expectations seems to be a theme with this team btw.

Like I said earlier this week only Sammy Watkins and Allen Robinson see other teams #1 corners. Watkins was in a class of his own during the draft and everyone knew. I still can't get over us passing on Allen Robinson. Him and KB could've shared the load instead of putting it all on KB's shoulders.

 

I wanted Allen Robinson soooooooooooooo badly. I'm still pissed we didn't get him.

Someone just asks too much from a rookie who's raw coming out of college.

It's tough to deal with a loss to the fuging Aints at our house but it doesn't mean you need to create such thread.

Yeah blame the rookie WR. You see Brees making throws to a shorter rookie WR. I mean he was open on the first play down the field, Newton overthrew him. Newton throws the ball like he's pitching a baseball, that's hard for receivers to catch all the time.

The shorter rookie also gets himself into space. With KB you pretty much always make a throw to him covered. It makes a difference

KB could be bent over and raped before anyone would think of throwing a flag, that said he's dropped an easy td pass in both of our last games

You're talking about Kelvin as if he was a top 5, sure-fire, can't miss, AJ Green/Calvin Johnson type prospect. He isn't that. There is a reason he fell to 28. He is raw and he is far from a finished prospect. You can't expect the guy to put this offense on his back after only producing for one year in major college football. Kelvin deserves the patience of Panther fans even if his production thus far has exceeded expectations from a statistical standpoint. 

 

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.  I feel that too many people think of KB as a "top 5, sure fire" pick.  Moreover, too many are still looking at him as a Johnson (either Johnson, actually), Green or Jones.  I think that this is unfortunate, and, in many ways, unfair.  And speaking of expectations, I am of the opinion that most need to temper theirs (hence the title and the OP which some of these overly emotional, irrational child-like adults have not even read before giving an adequate response).

 

To me it's not necessarily an awful thing.  It just speaks to having level-headed expectations, and taking this into account as we look to team building in the immediate future.

 

KB is a "can't miss" prospect in that he should always demand the attention of the opposition, or be left one-on-one at their constant peril.  Having another receiver who has the talent to become a WR1 can only help the team achieve this greater goal, and of course KB will benefit exponentially.

You don't say...

[My Goodness My Guinness]

He is a rookie...

[hdevonxz]

KB is definitely capable of being a #1, but opinion though is that he is better off being a #2 possession receiver. 

[OneBadCat]

KB is without a doubt #1. He's still a rookie though. With how shitty our team is we are basically pressuring him to hit his prime a lot sooner. But that's because our OC sucks ass and the FO has a philosophy that our offense can only get better if we don't add any weapons.

[Mvp2014]

He's a WR1 alright.  Problem is we don't have a WR2 and WR3.  I'm sure they look good in practice against our secondary, just not in games where DB's actually have speed and agility
