This Kelvin Benjamin weight issue is getting blown out of proportion.

I do think his current weight issues are definitely being overblown.  It's a legitimate point of discussion, but it's still overblown.

The real issue it raises for me is how dedicated is he?  I understand that last year he was limited on what he could do, so it was no surprise that he was not in ideal shape at the start of training camp.  However, he is fully healthy now, and at a time that most young. hungry players are spending time working on their craft, trying to improve their weaknesses, he's let himself get a little soft.

Sure, that doesn't mean he hasn't been working, but logic would tell you that someone working that hard in any physical activity wouldn't put on much weight.  The fact that he has a history of putting on weight and coming into camp a bit out of shape (even going back to college) is a little worrisome.  How is he going to react once he gets that big contract?  Is he going to become complacent and be an albatross on our salary cap?

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
