Kelvin had a very rough game but fortunately the rest of the team was lights out.

 

The playoffs will be a different story. We need big time plays in big time situations. The rook fell flat on his face this game but i'm looking for this dude to make these kinds of plays in prime time.

we need to get him involved early and get his confidence back up. Playoff games are tough and to win them you need players to make big time catches and plays in big time moments. Those drops will be unacceptable and could potentially lose us the game.  Hopefully Cam is in his ear this week of practice. I believe in the guy.

i don't care about his drop rate right now. I care about him making plays that win us games. He is a big time talent. Gotta make big time plays when it matters most.

Ya obviously, I am just making a point that he is still a rookie and will make stupid mistakes just like any other receiver.

yea, this was more of a playoff type thread instead of the other ones about him. We need the rook to step up and make some huge plays for us if we want to win. Playoffs are just such a different animal.

Agreed. You can't win a superbowl in this league if you don't jump all over every opportunity you get.

 

We just need to realize he still is a rookie who was drafted late in round 1 who was known to drop these kinds of passes. I hope he works on this but I don't think things will change until he can refine his game more over the offseason.

 

One can only hope that he brings his game to another level in the playoffs.

I really hope he's not Lafell 2.0. Makes ridiculous catches he has no business hauling in and then drops the routine ones.

 

 

Well, for one Lafell has never sniffed a 1,000 yard season and Benjamin has over 1k after just his rookie year.

 

 

Lafell and Benjamin shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Gotta figure out a way to get him past the mental hurdles that are causing these drops. He's still very green even for a rookie and has a ton of potential. I'm very confident that he's going to be a very, very good WR for us, but the drops do need to get fixed.

 

 

You have to think it's just a lack of focus.

 

 

I imagine Proehl will drill into him that he needs to focus on the easy catches as much as the seemingly impossible.

In fairness, LaFell never played on a Steve Smithless team and was targeted 145 times.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
