Does PFF even watch football?

People talking poo about KB need to pump the damn brakes.

 

Considering the fact that Kelvin Benjamin has been the focal point of our WR core despite being a rookie who came into said core after the general manager completely cleared it out, I have to say he has been pretty damn impressive considering the circumstances we put him in.

 

I've been disappointed with the drops I've seen from him, but when taking into account all the factors, I'm thrilled to have him.

 

Based on what we know from him, he should only continue to perfect his craft and improve in the coming years.

He has more drops than any rookie, he's been quitting on his routes, and he has been the most penalized of those listed as well. 

 

Having said that, the only receivers targeted more in the NFL than him thus far this year are Jeremy Maclin, Julio Jones, DeMaryius Thomas, and Antonio Brown.

 

He's a rookie playing like a rookie as a number one option. No one is saying he's not good. He's just not an all around receiver yet.

KB and Olsen are the only things we have on offense this year.

KB isn't playing like a rookie even with some of the drops. Shula and Rivera are underutilizing Cam, KB, and everyone else. I can only imagine KB with a legit OC who could put him in situation to win every battle.

Definitely skewed because he IS the entirety of our receiving corps. More balls thrown his way than any other rookie I'm sure. That and I don't think style points factor into anything for PFF, do they?

 

That said, Kelvin Benjamin is so overrated by this fan base. I think he'll improve next year, but some of his route running has been abysmal, he's been super lazy at times, and has had some awful drops. Mike Evans should be ROTY and not Kelvin Benjamin. I would have him ranked around 6th or 7th in terms of rookie receivers this year, not LOL 34th, but not #1 or even #2 either.

I'm more frustrated with him not using his body and giving up on routes, both those slants he ran the past two weeks led to turnovers because he didn't run them precisely. You could even see Ricky Proehl yelling at him yesterday about it.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
