Kelvin Benjamin was the only offensive player defenses had to scheme around

Who else demands bracketed coverage? Who else sniffs a thousand yards and 10TDs a year?

Benjamin was popular on the team. Early reports seem to indicate this did not go over well.

Did he have an attitude problem? Good coaching would've fixed it. Trading a player is an easy out. No third rounder will do for us what Benjamin did.

This is a lance through the heart of the 2017 Carolina Panthers, and possibly Cam's career with us.

Kelvin hasn't been getting bracketed in ages. Look at last game, the Bucs stuck a midget on him all alone.

And while Cam and Kelvin may have been buddies, Cam didn't seem to get through to Kelvin to take his craft seriously. How many times has he shown up overweight?

If this move frees Samuel to see the field more and let Funchess get more consistent targets than it may be a blessing in disguise.

Maybe they thought having both Funchess and KB out there at the same time was redundant? I dont know man i cant make any sense of this move, KB was well liked in the locker room and was Cams go to target in the redzone. Our offense struggles enough as it is so trading away our best WR is foolish when our WR depth is poo.

LOL if he was traded because of some garbage emotional semantics then I will sincerely want this team to just go away because it will be the complete embodiment of what Richardson brought Hurney in to do noe manifestating on the playing field itself

Greg Olsen is the #1 WR and demands double coverage

KB basically got shut down by a midget against the Bucs.

Even if I were on the fence about KB as a player, this trade and the timing is just plain awful if we get no immediate starter in return.

He still had the winning touchdown. you cant say we are better without him. DOnt mention 2015, totally different scenario. MVP cam, olsen, and actual run game.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.

      If only the Eagles collapse. I dont think it will happen though. I hate them as much. Ill root for the Chiefs if they play the Eagles this time around in the Superbowl. I hate those guys.
