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.

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

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
