Rapsheet - Torn ACL for Kelvin Benjamin

#Panthers seem to have 3 options: Sign vet from slim FA pickings, try to speed up Funchess development and/or lean heavily on Olsen/Dickson.

My analysis flushing each of those options out should be posted momentarily.

Ummmm... "flushing" really?  Yeah... that might be a good way to describe our WR options right now.  I'm trying to stay positive, but that Person tweet just made me laugh... a bit of a Freudian slip there Joe?

By the time he flushes it out, KB's ACL will be fully healed.

I have never in my life seen so many fair weather fans. Stop it! People complain about not having a "solid" fan base and, yet, from this it's not hard to see why we do not. It's a terrible thing that happened to Benjamin. Mourn it. Scream at it. But for goodness sake, there are 92 other Panther players that need your FULL support including our entire WR corps. We are 1 preseason game into the season - repeat: 1 preseason game - and so many here have given up already. The Panthers need their fans' support more than ever so give it totally without reservation. If you can't do that, become a Saints, Falcons, or Bucs fan. [[Speaking of which, I'll bet their boards are going nuts over this news especially given the remarks in this thread.]]

I feel so sorry for Kelvin. Fully feel for him, looking forward to a great season then ... bam! His future is now in the hands of surgeons and trainers. Season over for Kelvin, change of direction. 

But not for the Panthers! Not for the team! Coach Rivera will not give up. Coach Proehl won't either. Neither will GM Gettleman. And Panther fans should not either. We will win the division again. We will be in the playoffs. We will do this, I have no doubt.

LOL. A football player got hurt. It's not like someone found out they have stage 4 cancer. It's not THAT serious. 

Of course not.  Never meant to imply that it was.  But I do think it will help our team if we believe in them.  Jumping off the bandwagon or checking out because of this injury is the wrong thing to do.  Let's watch and see what this team is made of and how they respond to this hard thing.

The character JR, Gettleman & Rivera et al have really worked to instill in this team, the type of players they have on the roster, this is when the true grit will show.

I would rather suck and blow up the coaching staff than have another mediocre season. How much of Cam's and this defense's prime are we going to waste with Shula calling the plays? It really sucks because I truly believe Rivera can get the job done he just hitched his wagon to a dead horse. GMan makes it seem like Rivera and Shula are a package deal.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
