Above all, I feel terrible for Benji

Ever since he was drafted last year, I've come to like the kid more and more.  Its fair to say he turned my attitude around quickly with his attitude and effort.  And the looks thus far in this training camp is that he had worked hard in the offseason and was primed for his break-out season.

I can't imagine how terrible HE feels right now.  And I feel awful for him.

As for the team?  These things happen in football.  Maybe I've been around this football thing as a fan too long (45+ years) to panic about injuries anymore.  Injuries happen.  And they happen a LOT.  Its the nature of the game.  The team will either take up the slack... or not.  Nothing you or I can do about it.

And this is when and where salary cap flexibility comes in.  This is why GM's like to have a little padding in that cap instead of signing regulars right up to the limit.  Now will G-Man sign anyone to replace KB (ex. Reggie Wayne?)?  Well, that remains to be seen.  But, even if he doesn't sign a replacement, IMO he's earned our trust on that decision.

Time to just Keep Pounding.  Its all we can do.

    • Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.     
    • Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
    • I'd honestly take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Young. You know you can design an O around his skillset to win you games. Plus, as a bonus, said O would wear him down within 3 years so you could move on from him.
