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

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?

I would not want to go through that criticism more than once, and Jerry Rice didn't last 20 yrs. by struggling to stay in shape. I think guys who stay in shape year round have longer careers and fewer injuries.

That said, I don't believe KB is 280 lbs. and he's got over two months until training camp. Let's give the guy a break.

Also KB strikes me as a a guy that you have to motivate too much. He's not self motivated.  If he was he'd never be out of shape at the start of training camp. 

This tells me he hasn't learned how to be a professional yet.  At this point in his career you'd think he'd get it. 

I'd be looking for a trade partner already to be honest. This team functioned better without him. Add CMC and Samuel, increase Funchess role and add Shepard and CJ2. I think we'd be alright without him.

I say give him another chance. Let’s hope he doesn't end up eating my words too though.

Watch out!  Looks like he has been eating everything in sight!!!

Left tackle maybe!!!!!!

How do we know he didn't give his knee some more time to heal?

I remember towards the end of last season there were talks about his knee swelling--

There are a lot of assumptions and witch hunts going on without all the facts..

Part of that is the teams fault-- if you throw out a blurb like " he's a little heavy" without filling in the gaps--

The peanut gallery will always fill the gaps instead.

So how about we see how the offseason goes and how he looks in games this year before passing judgement of dedication etc.

We don't see what he does in his off time-- maybe he works out 24/7 or maybe it's XBOX-- who knows.

Don't just make it up-- that's what I'm saying.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
