Should we exercise 5th year option on Benjamin?

The ACL injury robbed him of a year of development and the offensive struggles that snowballed from Week 3 on forward collected him as well. If his production this season is the basement, then we'd be foolish not to see where his ceiling could be with an extra year.

When the toxic huddle crew turned their attention form 24/7 gettleman bashing to trashing KB, I had to limit my already small huddle viewing period. "Trade him for 3rd or 5th", they said, "NO just outright CUT his bum-arse"...... I feel like this is a test to my opened mind theory. Problem is LOTS of people that should remain silent rather than voice their ultra-derp-low-IQ opinion. As many have state here, he had similar year to his 14 panther record breaking rookie year! I cannot wait til he has bigger 2017 year.

2nd year receiver coming off a torn ACL. He was 59 yards shy of another 1000 yard season with a lower drop rate than Deandre Hopkins and Odell just to name a few.

 Easy decision. 

And on an offense that runs the ball a lot more than the average team and when they did throw the ball, the qb ended up on his backside quite a bit.

 

KB will be extended, there is little doubt of that.  Funchess is the questionable one.

I thought you were saying it hard more to do with desire than technique. I agree and I think that says that we aren't working hard on the fundamentals of WR blocking. You can't tell me after that stiff arm that KB couldn't destroy Grimes on a run block. Every time I watch our WRs it seems like they don't know what to do.

The want to comment was more like a mind set behind blocking.  Without that, technique wouldn't help.  What good is training if you don't use it.

that said, I've seen the want to on occasion so that tells me technique is also an issue, as well as the play designs.  

Having guys like KB running routes with 2-3 moves and options on everything I would imagine it's easy to get mixed up on what the defense is doing.

 

short story long, 5th year option is def the way to go.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
