Word is that DG was going to pick up the five year option on him. That was before he rolled in overweight. The option is coming due on Wednesday and no signing so far. Possible that they let it slide by to send a message that this is bullshat. Either get with the program, play up yo potential.....or see ya. What you got?

Guys the 2 WR/RB we drafted can't play outside on a consistent basis (ask Randal Cobb) they where drafted as complimentary pieces.

KB is vital part of the offense , the player that should be getting the message is Devin Funchess.

I think its a non issue and will be resolved before training camp.

I dont think its a non issue, it shows a pattern of laziness. this is KB job and he is clearly not taking it seriously enough and thats not the kinda thing that goes unnoticed.

Benjamin for Watkins straight up

who says no

That's worse, at least Kelvin isn't injury prone. 

But in reality its a non issue, takes a full year to get back from an injury and he still was shy of 1000 yards.

What kind of weight is he putting on?  If it is muscle, that will be hard to get rid of.  Yet if it is simply fat, there's no excuse, its a mentality problem.  Again if it is fat which we assume comes from the kind of food one eats, you're going to have to want to change your diet.  My mentality on such an issue would be easy, especially if I had the money KB has.  Eat organic (something we all should do more of) and cut out fast food.  Maybe only eat fast food once a week if necessary.

All of this comes down to mindset.  Personally, again if this is a weight problem dealing with food, if I had the resources available to me as it is available to KB, this wouldn't be a problem at all.  For most NFL players it's not a problem.  I'm not bashing him in any way.  It's just a mindset concerning these things.

If you watched the post-draft presser, DG did not seem happy at all.  Person asked Rivera about it, and he entertained him by answering it at length.  He said it was overblown.  Yes, he was concerned about his weight, but he has been coming in voluntarily.  Person then asked DG about it, who wasn't having it lol.  He gave Person a death stare and said, "Stick to the draft, Joe."

Man the Benjamin hate here is real...

The man put up just shy of 1,000 yards, on an offense that had a 1,000+ yard TE a YEAR after an ACL tear!!

What more could you ask for basically everyone's numbers were down across the offense...''why'' because our OL fell completely apart. You can't judge a QB/HB/WR/TE performance so harshly when the position group that creates the majority of that success is in shambles. 

I for one am excited, the 2nd year after the ACL is usually when a player is finally all the way back, Funchess will get more reps, and we have guys underneath now in McCaffrey & Samuel that will limit how deep the underneat coverage can drop to help on the deep/intermediate targets to guys like KB, Funch, and Olsen. Not to mention all the above and a healthy OL should present some lighter boxes for Stewart.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
