2014 Panthers Rookie Grades

[davos]

How people can be so critical of a rookie WR'S who has every record for rookie WR on this team. .

Grabage time stats?? How many games were the Giant's or Bucs in?? Are OdB and Evans numbers grabage as well??

I also like to state the fact that there was a "guess KB stats for the season" thread. And none of you had him at 1,000 rec.yards and 9 TD. Now all of a sudden those numbers aren't good enough? ? Really??

 

I'm pretty sure people are just saying they'd give him a B rather than an A and pointing out fair critiques.  Not that big of deal.

Brown reminds me of Smith, tabbed to return kicks/punts in his first season. Although Smitty did much better with returns, he only caught 10 passes the 1st season. I hope Brown turns out to be the surprise success at WR that Smith was.

 

Psssst...... Steve Smith had a higher drop percentage than KB this season.

 

Yeah but Smith has 'old man hands' now. lol 

 

I do hope KB puts in a lot of off season work on eliminating drops. I still cringe when I think of that perfect pass he couldn't handle in the Falcons game.

It's a testament to Benjamin that we're already holding him to the same standards as a veteran receiver, when you consider the situation he was thrown into and all the struggles we've had this season, he's done a damned fine job and he's only going to get better

I really don't believe that people are holding him to vet standard. His route running and blocking is not up to a vet standard. The standard that his critics are holding him to is a WR standard, a.k.a. "Catch the damned ball!"

Reminds me of all those teen/kids complaining/bitchin cause they got a new iphone, but not the white. Or even better- a brand new nissan, but wanted a bmw. Terrible human kid - " my parents are the worst evar!!!!! id rather die than be caught talking on a regular iphone while driving a pos nissan"

[WOW!!]

Same people expectations were 600-700 yards and 5 TD'S... A B for out doing expectations seems right???

Yeah looking at it in that regard, the argument can be made for an A.

I feel bad for the next WR the Panther's draft.......if he doesnt put up HOF numbers his rookie season he wouldnt even get an A-

[KendrickPanther]

I don't understand "everything is bad" or "everything is good" people. You can acknowledge a guy left some plays on the field (and maybe cost his team a game or two). And at the same time appreciate a strong statistical season.

i just can't wait to see what DG can do when he actually has some money to spend.

Some of you don't seem to understand that kb is a late first round rookie. If the draft were done over, he would be a top 15 pick.

Not only would he be top 15, bene could have gone day 1, Norwell, turner, and ealy would have been day 2 picks and Philly wouled have been drafted. Simply put, this is what a future super bowl caliber class looks like.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

KB =

7th all time in rookie WR receptions

17th all time in rookie WR yards

12th all time in rookie WR TDs

Those who would grade KB at anything less than an "A" lack perspective.

But he dropped some passes, yo! I would give Focault an A because anytime u ask an UDFA from Canadia to start on the OL and your QB can still stand upright at the end of a game is a good thing.

Tyler Gaffney- Super A+

I can't wait until we have some money to spend!

i just can't wait to see what DG can do when he actually has some money to spend.

If he continues to draft well it will be used to resign some of his own players. I really don't see DG ever being a huge player in FA.
