If you really pay attention to those clips, he don't look super fast in any of these plays either but he still gets down the field and makes plays. Speed was never his thing.

But speed should at the very least be a thing for a #1 WR.

It's the trendy thing to do here.

I don't see how accurately critiquing a player is hating them. I don't hate Benjamin. He's just a slow receiver who struggles to separate. Not exactly the kind of guy you want as your #1. Defenses could play us differently.

And it isn't like it's just a fan thing. He got pulled from games last year for a reason. I think it's more unfathomable that so many people want to overlook his issues and pretend everything is okay.

Why do people love bashing Benjamin?

He is still our best WR by far. I like the rooks but they are unproven. KB is still our most dangerous weapon at WR by far.

Because it takes no talent, effort, or even thought to tear someone down.

If you want to trash your own players in May before we've even held training camp, by all means go ahead.

But you look like a fickle fairweather douchenozzle, there's really no way around that.

It's called a "highlight" video for a reason, there's an equal if not greater number of plays where he is lazy, drops passes, or gets flagged for every play on that

How is it fair weather? So we can't say anything negative about any player?

Talk about rose tinted color glasses. But fair enough.

You can say the same thing about Cam's highlights. There are plenty of WTF plays of his people could point out too. Nobody is perfect.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Valid criticism is different from "hating". I'm one of the biggest Gman supporters but I can admit when criticism is necessary. The same goes with players. Nobody is saying KB is terrible. For me it's just knowing what could be if he took conditioning seriously and got down to around 235 lbs. I used to scoff at the 260 lb comments, but the dude is literally that big. It kind of makes sense why he cannot cut or gain separation. He has great ball skills and can high point the ball like no other, but he is limiting his potential by himself and it's unfortunate.

Because when he's towering over defenders catching touchdowns the same people will be swinging from his nuts wanting to celebrate. Yes, fairweather.

Also, there is a middle ground between being a complete homer, and just sitting around talking about how much of a lard ass a player is.

From my perspective I think KB has a lot to prove this year, if he's bullshitting in TC I will be concerned, but this is being overblown right now.

KB is about to have a good year. He wasn't spectacular last year because he had no foil. He had no one with speed to draw coverage, and he was just smothered at all times. We have a balanced offense now.

I agree... just don't agree when people try to make it seem like Benjamin is some legit WR, he's not. People said he got praised for making effort in practice... that's expected of you,  you shouldn't get praised for it, and for fugs sake, he dropped the ball... out here, a WR would have been chewed out for dropping that, and the effort is expected or else you get a spot on the bench. Just wish we had better motivated players on the roster, or a staff that was harder on them to preform at a higher level

Hey bud, you might wanna read the thread Jeremy just posted because you're flat out looking kinda foolish.

Well, if you read the article, you'd realize I had nothing to say about his weight,  I question his work ethic and dedication,  but you can kiss the ass of the author, it reminded me of the same ones written about Armani and how great he was at OTAs
