The loss of Kelvin Benjamin

Recommended Posts

Won't be felt today. The speed and quickness of Philly Brown and Ted Ginn Jr, will open up new things in our offense. No we won't see that one miraculous catch that Benjamin delivers once per game, but we will see an underrated group of talented wideouts rise to the occasion and make the plays they're capable of making. 

Panthers win 27-13. 

A little AceBoogie optimism to start the season off right.

He was targeted 45% of the time by Cam according to FOX this morning. His loss should only help Newton and/or Shula develop better schemes to improve our passing game.

Maybe I'm reaching here but with guys like Ginn and Brown always open and away from defenders it could also lower Cam's interceptions since he won't be throwing into double coverage or to receivers who are draped by defensive backs. Now the issues is will Ginn and Brown actually catch the ball 

That whole move the chains slowly and control the clock is the reason the Panthers do not seem to consider speed when looking for WR. Hope how Cam plays with speedsters will open eyes in the front office. There is no need for a big marginally fast guy to be our number 1.

Not even homer speak here, but his injury is probably the most significant serious NFL injury suffered by any team so far.  I know Jordy Nelson went down, but Rodgers is the more polished passer and they still have some other options... and actually addressed the weakness by going out and getting James Jones back.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
