Rapsheet - Torn ACL for Kelvin Benjamin


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

How is it that every one was praising the recieving corps last week saying it was great to have so much depth and that whoever we cut was still talented, and now that KB is out for the season they are all trash? 

I agree that this is a huge loss, but losing him did not suddenly make the rest of the WR we have suddenly horrible.

But you know Huddle will Huddle.

Honestly a loss such as that changes the entire dynamic of the WR core.
Benjamin was going to require a definite double team and even stated last year that they were rolling coverages his way (i.e. 05 Steve Smith)
Without KB that leaves another defender free to roam the field.  This potentially can be a huge blow. Let's pray it's not.

Biggest problem is between losing him and Stephen Hill, we've lost a lot of size in our receiving corps, and that was a part of our game planning.  Our new game plan probably goes into based on speed because that's what we have the most of on the team right now with Corey Brown and Ted Ginn.  I'd feel more confident if we didn't have Shula running this thing because he seems completely incapable of changing our gameplan to fit our personnel, but if we are going to have a successful season it has to happen.  I'm really afraid, bigger than losing KB will be our unfortunate decision to hold onto Shula last offseason because of just that.

Might be a blessing in disguise.

1. Who says Funchess can't perform like Benjamin did last year? 
2. We have Ginn back
3. Brown has a year under his belt.
4. This could set us up for another WR next year
5. Benjamin will come back hungrier and stronger

1. I do

2. Good No. 3

3. Another good No. 3

4. How does that help us this year?

5. See 4

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
