I want to be excited when I watch this highlight video but all I see when I think of Benji is drops.

 

Then you are completely missing the picture.

 

KB went through the drops yes, but he was a rookie, and also our our top target taking on secondaries often by himself. Who else did we have in our WR group that scared defenses, Cotchery? Yeah right. Corey Brown eventually came in, but he had to find his groove.

 

For Kelvin to come in as a rookie and put up 1,000+ yards and 10 TD's as our top WR threat as a rookie is damn impressive.

 

If anything you should be thankful, not talking poo about the guy. Especially considering the fact that he is only going to improve, and he is still on a rookie contract for the next 3 seasons. When you combine him with Cam Newton, there is plenty to smile about.

 

Nice video btw.

Couldn't even get 1 page without someone bashing him for drops, gotta love this place.

Benji was a huge reason why we were even relevant last season. It was no secret that Benji had drop issues coming out of college, so to think he was going to come in and catch everything is being a bit unrealistic.

I was excited when we drafted him and I can't wait to see him put on a show again this season. Now if only the Panthers would properly address the second wide out position we could be on to something.

I. Don't. Care.

Call it whatever the hell you want but I'm not impressed. I guess I'm a guy who desires the simpler aspects of football. You know, like holding onto first downs and NOT stalling crucial drives? Yes, there are some 'wow' moments with KB but I don't care much for garbage time stats. I want to see Benjamin be consistent. The rookie excuse isn't going to hold up with me. Both Beckham Jr and Evans performed much better than Kelvin last season.

So, no, I won't be thankful. That'd be settling. Benjamin set the tone early for all rookie WRs but he clocked out half way through the season.

Flame away, Huddle. My stance on Benji's rookie campaign was one of disappointment.

 

I admit that both Beckham Jr and Evans are damn good, but referring to them as "much better" like KB is a scrub unworthy to even be in the same conversation just shows how flawed your opinion of the kid is. Rookies experience ups and downs.

 

I'm not making excuses for his drops, but if your entire argument is based on "KB, WHY U NO CATCH FOOTBALL, I'M SO ANGRY ARRRRGGHHHH" while ignoring all the variables of the situation he walked into as a rookie, then you need to take another look.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      The teams this 2nd year player (can’t really blame the years before he was drafted on him) was playing were going 100% as most do most weeks in the NFL. The whole argument is about his play during that period and how well was he actually playing. I’m with you on the winning though. Just start winning and fans will get excited. Start getting in the playoffs and winning and we won’t care how his PFF or box score stats look. 200 yards a game to 400 yards a game, start scoring and winning playoffs games and 99% of fans will buy in.

      Yeah, we are gonna be raw.  Wonnum, for the past 3 years, has been averaging 8 sacks a season (4 in one season when he missed half a season).  I am OK, but yes, they will be thrown to the fire.

      I like this because it means one or both of the rookies will be thrust into a bigger role right away and we can see what they might be. I don't like this because it just makes our team that much younger and inexperienced.  You need vets to help the young guys learn, I just hope we aren't going too far in the opposite direction.  All our FA signings were guys just coming off their rookie deals too, I get why we're doing it, but having the savvy vets help in other ways too.
