One Simple Hypothetical

If you could magically heal Kelvin Benjamin and have him back this season,  but the cost would be Byron Bell comes with him and starts at left tackle.....  would you? 

 

Seems like a silly queston,  but cuts to the quick on if you think the offense has been upgraded.

I wouldn't do it. One thing to keep in mind is we are a better team than last year and maybe even the year before. We can spread out and make up for KB's numbers, an example would be Ginn in the return game getting those extra yards that we just couldn't get last year with Bersin, that will go a long way in making up for the lost yards KB would have gotten, I think people underestimate how huge having Ginn back will be in the return game.

 

Really a better question would be, "would you rather have KB back but have Byron Bell back at LT and Bersin back returning punts."

Eh....that depends on if I could be sure that the knee injury won't be nagging. If it ends up hampering the rest of his career, this is obviously a no-brainer(we can jettison Bell in the future). However, if KB bounces back strong next year and in the future, I can stomach one year of not having him to have a serviceable LT option.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
