Rapsheet - Torn ACL for Kelvin Benjamin

[Captroop]

our WRs are the laughing stock of the NFL now.

everyone is crapping on us

Not just our WRs. Also our OL.

[CarolinasFinest]

Faith is hoping in the promise, even when the evidence is not seen.  Hang on Byrdman.  Need that faith more than ever.

speaking truth, too many Debbie downers on here

[Henne Given Sunday]

Man guys, this sucks! I am so sorry you lost Benjamin....I feel the football gods evened the score a bit with Delmas going down, however Benjamin would've had a bigger impact for you guys than Delmas would for us. 

 

I hope everything goes off smoothly tomorrow and Saturday!

 

My wife and son had an amazing time at Wofford today, and she commended how amazing they were treated by Panther fans. You guys are class. I mean it! See you Saturday hopefully! Tailgating college/5th near the church in the parking lot!

J Jones with some tweets re: roster implications:

Just an FYI, Benjamin can't go straight to IR now. Panthers won't waive/injure now so they'll wait til first roster cuts to move him to IR

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 11m11 minutes ago

So if and when the Panthers bring in a new WR this week or next, they'll have to cut someone to make room

And since some have mentioned it jokingly (and I've seen some that aren't jokey) let me be clear...

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 8m8 minutes ago

There is no way in hades any kind of trade is executed that brings 89 back to the Panthers in 2015 #dreamkiller #soulcrusher

@jjones9 what makes you so sure they'll bring in someone? Still have Funchess, Brown, Ginn, Boykin, Olsen

If for no other reason, just to take reps off some guys

Not just our WRs. Also our OL.

Based on Oher's showing so far (yes it's early), not to mention Williams, I think our OL has improved.  It's not our strength, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a laughing stock.  JMO

[Henne Given Sunday]

Also be careful judging any performance or long-term predictions of your OL based on facing our DLine. Suh and Wake on the same side should literally be illegal. They've been so disruptive during our practices, that they've debated taking Suh out so the offense can actually run some plays haha. IF they hold their own tomorrow and Saturday that's huge for you guys!

[Davidson Deac II]

With the exception perhaps of quarterback, no one player will make or break an offense. 

[Carolina 11205]

Not really.

In all honesty, this probably caps our season at 7-9 wins, unless Funchess absolutely explodes or we trade for someone good. I don't think either is happening and it's not fair to expect that from a raw, second round WR. Look at this poo:

Ginn
Cotchery
Funchess
Brown
Bersin
Boykin
Byrd/other dude we just signed/tackling dummy

That's brutal. We'd be laughing at Tampa if that was their lineup. We need to hope we have a running game that doesn't require piggybacking from our QB this year.

Feel terrible for Kelvin and I really hope people don't shred Funchess if he doesn't have a KB-like rookie season.
 

None of our WRs scare any DB

LOL!!!!! YOU CATS ARE HILARIOUS....one minute you talking about how deep you are at WR. A player goes down and you puddy cats are screamin' the sky is fallin'. Shows that you bums have not done any research on the players that have arrived at this years training camp. There are at least 2 very capable and talented blossoming starters on that WR roster. Yes I believe Paul Browning is one of them

On the practice observations thread earlier today, some of us were wondering about the field conditions.  Jeremy just tweeted this:

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 4m4 minutes ago

Have had a good amount of questions about field where three ACLs tore in just 18 days. Joe Philbin today, FWIW:

[Henne Given Sunday]

Forget the black cat superstition, I knew we were in trouble when we dubbed them the Twin Towers or the Two Towers. In either case, it's not a comparison you want to invite.

I'm not giving up yet (not least of all because I just DROPPED $260 FRIGGIN BUCKS ON SUNDAY TICKET THIS MORNING!!!) but because I truly believe one of your young guys will step up and make the most of this opportunity. I got faith!

brrooooooo!!! I just got nfl ticket for FREE and $20 off my bill every month for a year. You gotta hustle man!!! Call and ask for retention department. Get a deal!

[Paa Langfart]

the more I think about this the worse it appears to be for us as a team.  KB was undefendable at times - we have no one who teams will roll double coverage to left.

Also be careful judging any performance or long-term predictions of your OL based on facing our DLine. Suh and Wake on the same side should literally be illegal.

We actually held pretty good and will probably do even better tomorrow.

Our Guys > Your Guys

Fml.....knew it soon as I saw it, just praying I was wrong. No more easing into his role for Funchess now
