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.

      Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

      By Panthering · Posted

      Lanorris Sellers is my choice but I'm biased of course. He should honestly stay another year and develop as a passer though.

      Jared Feinberg's Panthers v Jaguars film review

      By Icege · Posted

      DCs have got a couple of years of Canales' play-calling now to see what he's doing the same between TB & CAR. Most fans without an anti-player agenda understood coming in that this was going to be a season about developing the young guys (something most fans have been clamoring for since the soft reboots started taking place), but the coaches are in the same boat imo. Not only does Evero need to show that last season was an aberration, Canales needs to show that he has an offensive mind that can compete with some of these great defensive coordinators around the league. I think one of the adjustments for that particular play is going to be having Tremayne (or whoever the WR ends up being) create a contact with the SS before his break to the corner if the CB has outside leverage. I recall seeing the same (or at least a very similar) play drawn up during preseason where XL was breaking open to the corner after getting to the CBs outside shoulder but the ball went elsewhere due to pressure. Shoot... I think this might be the season that I finally challenge myself to try and figure out which plays/concepts we see most often and when. The last decade of reviewing all-22s after frustrating L's has helped me learn so much more about the game. 😄

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Panthering · Posted

      I think he should keep it tbh and try to improve at it all. We hired him to be the f'ing playcaller and head coach, so deal with the bumps of someone learning on the job with a limited QB. It's fine.
