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. 

The reason people are upset, and reasonably so in my opinion, is because of the half-assed effort KB put up throughout the season. Constant holding penalties, giving up on routes, and not trying to tackle guys on turnovers (that lead to your starting QB having to tackle the guy who picked it off because KB quit on his route, which is the play in which Cam injured his shoulder) are why people are pissed at him.

He came into Camp overweight the other year, then tore his ACL. I'm sure people are worried that might happen agian.

The whole coming back from an ACL takes two years seems more like an excuse than a reason to me, honestly. The effort was not there last year from him. It would have been one thing to see him chugging away and trying his hardest but just coming up short, but the dude would just straight up give up from time to time. I'm sure he wasn't 100% yet, but the effort just wasn't there throughout the year.

And that's what is so damn frustrating. Him half assing it out there resulted in a just under 1k year receiving. Had he actually tried harder, he would have surpassed those numbers easily. 

That's why people are frustrated and annoyed, because he is legitimately the best receiver we have on the roster, but you get these continuous reports of him not handling his crap like a professional.

KB had 1 holding penalty last season.

No one should poo on him for taking time to recover from an ACL surgery. Yeah sure there are some freaks like Terrell Suggs who can come back in the same season but there's just no way to predict how each person will respond, each surgery is different etc etc

But he can watch his fuging diet and not get fat. 

Not only is that a reasonable expectation, but failure to do it should constitute dereliction of duty. Keeping yourself skinny during rehab is a fuging part of the process. If he'd fuged off to like massage envy to rehab instead of the team facilities like Daunte Culpepper did he'd be ridiculed up and down the board. 

Getting fat is just as damaging to the rehab process. Instead of eating slightly fewer calories Benjamin built himself an igloo made of klondike bars and ate his way out.

I dont really care about the weight, its the times when he plays like a lazy fug who doesn't care that irritates me. There were more than a few examples of that last year and you cant blame that on an injury

Benjamin for Watkins straight up

who says no

That's a really interesting trade idea, I think the Bills would be quicker to pull the trigger on that than the Panthers suprisingly

Semantics

1 holding penalty, 2 false starts, 3 illegal blocks.

Illegal blocks are just as bad as holding and he did it thrice. That's 4 penalties that negated plays from our offense due to boneheadedness. Although I do think one of those illegal blocks was BS, the others I don't think were.

And there's no excuse for a false start from a receiver. 

Dude needs to get his crap together because if he does he'd be unstoppable.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
