Video Analysis- What Happened to Kelvin Benjamin


App Panther

Recommended Posts

That knee injury combined with his mom passing just seemed to ruin him. By most accounts, he looked like the best player on the field during TC and joint practices when he tore his ACL. He probably wasn't going to be great long-term due to motivation issues, but I think he could've been a David Boston type. Great, but short-lived career

I'm an FSU fan, and the same thing was said about him in college about his laziness. I just think he was someone that was gifted talently and just didn't want/have to work because his physical ability trumped most of the players he went against... until the NFL.

That is basically the theme of video. Equating Kelvin to a lottery winner (genetically) who blew all his winnings within 5 years. I thought it was an excellent analogy.

I had all but forgotten about David Boston but that is a great comparison.

I honestly felt for KB when he lost his mom having lost a parent myself but I will never understand why he went after Cam when it appears Cam was one of the few people who truly cared about him both on and off the field.

Video does a good job dredging this back up and making Kelvin look like a clown for this.

They both got derailed by a trifecta of motivation issues, weight issues, and knee issues. The third likely exacerbated by the second. KB's weight issues seemed primarily due to dietary discipline while Boston's weight issues were seemingly primarily due to him being more interested in being swole than trying to be in his best football shape as a WR.

    • 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.
