Kelvin Benjamin sad after ATL Postgame

[firefox1234]

You could see how KB looked during the post game talk and I doubt it was because he is camera shy, i bet he knew he could have done better and I hope it doesn't get him too down and he gives it his all come playoffs. He is a rookie and still very much a young man. All he needs to do is work on those hands and always keeping focused like he has shown us when he catches balls no player let alone a rookie(not named OBJ)has any business catching, disappointment like these can only make him stronger! #Keep Pounding

I hope that he uses his mishaps in the Atlanta game as motivation and show out in the post season.

Rookie or not, dropping passes excuses are officially worth nothing now. It's playoff time and he's being paid big money to catch passes and block DB'S..... but mostly JUST to catch passes.

 

EVERY PLAYER, including rookies, need to step up their play. Norwell has, Ealy has, Bene has, Trai has, tre has...... it's time for our first round pick to step his play up for playoffs. No execuses.

damn when the camera pans to him you can tell he got those drops on replay

Rumble on young man. Get ur mind right the rest will follow.

[GRWatcher]

I'll say it again.

Over analyze much??

[CharlottePanther]

I noticed the same exact thing when I saw the vid, thought I was the only one that saw it

His dropped passes fo nothing but make me mad.

He makes the hard catches look routine, and can't catch the easy ones.

There are no excuses.

Get better.

I don't know...

To me it kind of looked like he was mulling over what to eat for dinner... a nice prime rib or lobster.

Congrats on the 1000 yds... But.... could have been about 1200 or 1300 and ROY honors. Focus. You did during preseason. Focus. Catch the ball THEN RUN!!!!

It takes a certain amount of refined skill and coordination to have good hands. Not everyone can just go out there develop good hands this late in their career. Sort of similar to ball-handling and shooting in basketball. 

 

This isn't no sure easy thing KB can fix. Sure he can improve no doubt, but its also possible he never really fixes his dropsie problem.

This was a problem for him in college, and unfortunately it still is a problem now. Those drops will cost us in the playoffs.

I said that KB was the right pick given where we ending up selecting.

 

As an FSU alum, I attended 3 of our home games in Tallahassee last year, and watched every FSU game on TV. There was a reason that he was not projected as a top 10 pick despite having a top 10 WR body and skill set.

 

He drops too many routine passes, and still yet, is not a WR that can dominate a football game like some of his rookie classmates. It is a constant of KB to drop simply passes and then make spectacular ones the next series or quarter. The problem is those drops are drive killers and CAN cause a QB to quickly lose confidence in him.

 

At the end of the day, he is a great WR for where he was selected and given the alternatives. 

 

But that doesn't mean that given that fact that he is the end all of our WR core, that 4 other rookie WRs this past year couldn't have achieve at least as good numbers in this offense.

 

He just needs to keep working, and the Panthers FO needs to get him some help to keep defenses from double teaming him.
