Kelvin Benjamin says he was traded because he didn't want to be here.

Here is the bottom line---you get open, you get throws.  You catch throws, you may get some when you are not so open.  Benjamin's maturity was an issue when we drafted him--I am not sure he understands how the world works yet.

The guy was targeted too much if anything

True story... Guy got bullied at the line of scrimmage by guys half his size repeatedly also, which is saying a lot considering how fat he was coming during the offseason last year. Won't even talk about how many 50/50 battles he lost on receivers half his size and the amount of times he gave up on routes.

It's because him being able to "bring down everything" is a fallacy. He was terrible at catching in traffic. He was 6'5 playing like he was 5'10. Not to mention he would just give up at times and act like he doesn't even care. Good riddance. 

Couldn't have said it better myself

I liked Funchess as a player more because he has a YAC mentality. Yeah, your tall and jump up for contested catches but as a WR, what's up AFTER the catch. You got my QB tied up with the idea of forcing you the ball for what?! We may be spoiled from having Smitty but guys like him and Moose we're all about YAC. That is your game if your not the biggest or fastest.

I preferred Funchess in THAT mold anyways.

That's ridiculous and I'm somewhat surprised that kind of overrating is still going on, being that he's been traded. He was never any more than average in any facet of being a receiver. 

He was a one trick pony but his trick was pretty damn good. He’s probably your hailmary bet in the league.

Knee injury so far fuged his career up. I remember the reports about 2015 TC where he just looking dominant. We struggled first pre-season game in the 1st quarter and finally we marched down the field and KB leaped high as hell in the air a TD grab. I haven't really seen that KB since. I believe he went and tore his ACL before the next pre-season game.  Being that size and not being some type of freak of nature and tearing your ACL is not a good thing.

Another ex-panther taking an unnecessary shot at the Panthers after they were let go. Wonder why that is?    

Reminds me of whenever I hear a dude say “it was mutual” when breaking up with a woman. 99% of the time it’s not mutual. 

Best of luck to him, but our WR Corp right now looks like the strongest it’s been in a decade and big surprise Kelvin Entemann’s isn’t a part of it. Big boy better lay of the chicken wings up there 

The chicken wings up there taste like poo...

He shouldn't have been a #1 but he was a tough loss because no other WR in the league right now has his ability to win pretty much every deep ball and jump pass like he can.

Funchess looks like a better WR though.

LOL what? 

This fiction needs to stop about KB.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
