It is our very own KB.  At first I was like WTF, but when you read the reasoning it is very interesting.  Here a blerb:

 

Quote

According to TruMedia, Benjamin’s been thrown to on 30.6 percent of the fourth-quarter routes he’s run. That’s tops in the NFL over the course of his career. Factor in his league-leading touchdowns-per-route average (0.034) and eighth-best yards-per-catch average (16.3), and Benjamin produces more offense every time he goes out for a late-game pass than anyone else on the planet.

Benjamin becomes elite when the fourth quarter begins

Top 10 receivers in average yards gained per route run in the fourth quarter, 2014-17

PLAYER TEAM AVG. YARDS/ ROUTES RUN TARGET/ ROUTE RATE AVG. YARDS/REC
Kelvin Benjamin CAR 3.2 30.6% 16.3
Antonio Brown PIT 2.9 29.1 14.2
Odell Beckham NYG 2.9 27.3 15.9
Jordy Nelson GB 2.6 23.6 15.2
Julio Jones ATL 2.6 28.9 15.3
DeAndre Hopkins HOU 2.5 28.4 14.8
A.J. Green CIN 2.2 23.8 17.6
Julian Edelman NE 2.1 24.1 13.0
Jeremy Maclin BAL 2.1 23.5 12.7
Emmanuel Sanders DEN 2.1 22.4 15.9

Good info.

Thrilled to see KB playing like the WR we'd all hoped he could be for the Panthers.  Given our 4th quarter struggles, we need guys who make the 4th Q their specialty to ball out.

Go KB go!  Hope he has a monster game tonight.

 

    I know you are just trying to be nice, but, no way we ALL thought he was going to  ball out. You know perfectly well, there are still plenty of folks who are still waiting for him to...this, that, or whatever.

    Why? I mean, why? I know you love to be all condescending. But, couldn't you at least have waited until someone said something stupid first?

So we’ll just ignore all the ignorant things people have been saying about him since coming back from his surgery?

    Oh no, not you. Listen. I don't care about other threads. This thread had not turned stupid as of yet. There was no earthly reason to come into this thread and say "Ooh, ooh, where the haterz be?". Before anyone came out and said anything "Ignorant". 

 

    Unless, you have an ulterior motive. Kinda like how some folks always do.

 

    But hey, Huddle on.

I would have to think the sea of ignorant posts about him being fat and lazy that were littered here all offseason would qualify as someone saying something stupid. I even interacted with fans who said they were essentially rooting for him to fail.

Anyway. Can you do me a favor and just stop quoting me? TIA.

    We are not talking about the past. We are talking about today, and this thread. You jumped in being all @TheRed. You high jacked a KB thread, to call out something that hadn't happened yet.

 

    I tell you what. Quit be a condescending butt head. And I will quit quoting you. As long as you act like my brother in law, whom I hate. I will continue to quote you to no end.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
