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.

      That's why I said stats aside. I lived in CO during Allen's college career and didn't have kids at the time so I watched most of his games. Bruh, I'm telling you. Balls just spraying all over the place. The type of throws where you're honestly trying to figure out who he was even trying to throw that one too. It was crazy. Richardson was inaccurate in college but at least you could tell who he was trying to throw it too. He threw a lot of early in the game Cam Newton type balls where it seemed like he was just a little too amped up and everything was a few feet high.

      A lot can change over the next week, but here is my best 53-man roster (note: I'm just basing this on guys on the 90 man roster currently). Obviously there could be trades/ waiver claims/ FA signings.   Offense (25) QB (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton RB (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne TE (4): Tommy Tremble, JT Sanders, Mitchell Evans, James Mitchell WR (7): Tetoria McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Theilen, Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, Jimmy Horn, Brycen Tremayne  OL (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Brady Christensen, Yosh Nijman    Defense (25) DL (6): Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown, Ashawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Sam Roberts, Cam Jackson OLB (5): DJ Wonnum, Pat Jones, Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Thomas Incoom  ILB (5): Trevin Wallace, Christian Rozeboom, Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S (4): Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom, Nick Scott  CB (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Corey Thornton, Shemar Bartholomew    ST (3): LS: JJ Jansen  P: Sam Martin  K: Matthew Wright    Would like to hear everyone's thoughts

      He was a more accurate passer at 56.2%. That's what I mean. Even by outlier standards, this dude was inaccurate. Closest I can recall to something like that would have been one of those GT QB's like Reggie Ball. Career 48.6% passer.
