Benjamin....what will DG do?

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.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
