Cam only completed 46 percent of his passes to KB

Cam Newton completed only 46.7 percent of his attempts to Kelvin Benjamin last season, so Benjamin's season-ending injury might not be that devastating for the Panthers' offense.

Didn't know if it was posted or not.  Also the Power Rankings for the year.

The problem is, what total percentage of our passes were intended for KB?  It's significant.

Let's give the KB threads a break for the rest of the season, unless it's about his health status...please?

147 targets.  6th in the league.  Olsen with 123.  That's a shitload of targets, especially for this team.

And that 46% was good enough for a rookie to have over 1,000 yards and almost double digit TD's. Funny how as soon as we don't have a player for one reason or another we automatically go from praising them to saying "Eh he wasn't that good anyways".

Did anybody in this thread say that?  No, nobody did.  I just posted a quote from ESPN and their Power Rankings.  That's all.

"We" aren't the one's saying that.  The d-bag doing the power ranking at ESPN is.  I think "we" have a pretty good understanding of KB's impact, or loss thereof.

Oh I know, wasn't saying you were the one justifying it, just something that has been echoed on here many times.

I have always said that KB was good but not as good as his stats indicated, I already made a thread about this actually. A ton of his stats came in garbage time, while yes other receivers get stats in garbage time, KB was higher than average.

 

[Bozarden]

Every indication pointed towards KB being a beast and having improved greatly and maybe even building towards an all-pro caliber season. No reason to discredit him, now that he is out for the year.

[GoobyPls]

He also accounted for a higher% of our offense than any other player.

I think he was like the 4th most targeted player in the NFL or something close

[CRA]

So they have us at 19?

 

Man I love the disrespect. Put that article up on the bulletin board.

 

Cards, Bengals, Lions Chiefs, Dolphins, Vikings and Bills have no business being ahead of us. 

if you put us over all those teams heading in....where do you actually have is ranked?

I love how butt hurt people get when someone posts an actual stat.  Not an opinion but a stat.  I was sick at my stomach when KB went down but after a couple of days I realized he doesn't make or break our team by a long shot.  If we suck this year we were going to suck anyways whether we had KB or not.
