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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
