I know its very hard to talk nfl 24/7/365..... but it was not long ago when just about everyone said give rookies three yrs before judgement. Me personally, I give the first complete year(otas, Mini cap, Trading camp, 4 preseason games, 16 games, no big injuries) and the next no big injury-free offseason. By then most times you can tell if the kids a player or not.

Midseason redraft....... soon redraft after draft... redraft before draft......

Bemjamin has 1 full season of college ball under his belt and has now played half an NFL season.  About the drops--Cam has been forcing the ball a lot, too much heat on touch throws.  That is hard to see on TV-just looks like a drop.  However, he has dropped some key passes, one cost us a game.  Can you criticize him for that?  Hell yes.  His job is to catch the football.  When the football hits his hands and he does not catch the football, it is an issue, if only for that second.

 

I think we have the following WRs in place for next season:  #2 (Benjamin would make a great #2 threat--we need him in single coverage with no help to maximize his effectiveness), #3 (Cotchery is a perfect #3), a #4 (Bersin is a solid fourth WR), and #5 (If Brown shows that he can be consistent on special teams, he gets the job).  Personally, I want a #1 with speed, range and hands--an AJ Green, for example. 

 

I know that some will scream that Benjamin is a #1 and he could be, but to maximize his effectiveness, I want him vs. the second-best cb and in one-on-one situations.  That is when he has been dominant.

I think Benjamin would be perfect paired with a speedy guy.  Ideally they would be 1a & 1b...take your pick which would be which, it wouldn't really matter.  That receiving core, with Olsen included, would be scary to defend...particularly with Cams ability to run.

Corey Brown is a better WR than Bersin, and it's not really close,

I completely agree. If only we had kept Smitty

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
