“We made the SB without Kelvin... we don’t need him”

That’s Charlotte sports radio logic right now.
2628156, his ass was sorry
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Oct-31-17 03:57 PM
2628165, hmm. very odd. I guess they choose funchess over him
Posted by dillinjah, Tue Oct-31-17 04:41 PM
which makes no sense because funchess is terrible...not that I'm complaining.
2628166, why did they have to choose?!

2628212, Folks are saying the WR’s are slow so it’s easy to crowd the LOS
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Oct-31-17 08:57 PM
I don’t understand why they send Funchess on fly routes..

Instead of trading Kelvin they shoulda fired the OC. That dude is terrible.
2628290, right they need to bring Chudzinski back...

2628321, Chud can’t do shit with this bunk ass OL.
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Nov-01-17 03:27 PM
That’s the real problem with this team. RB’s were hit behind the LOS like 60% of their runs vs Chicago.
2628292, no, Benjamin is slow. Funchess ran a 4.47 at the combine.
Posted by cgonz00cc, Wed Nov-01-17 11:35 AM
also Funchess is still learning WR.

he came to Michigan as a tight end and only played split out for 2 years.

AND Benjamin was due $9M next year. i have to assume they are still managing the last regimes fuckups.

2628320, What’s funny is Gettleman was brought in to clean up Hurneys mess
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Nov-01-17 03:25 PM
Then they fired Gettleman after he got the books balanced because he rubbed players the wrong way...

and now Hurney is interim and it feels like he will get a chance to fuck things up again because the owner is loyal to a fault.

Everyone in Charlotte says these 2 WR’s are slow and one in the same. I don’t agree but that’s how it’s being played.

Even if they are it’s not like they got anything else. The OL is trash. Address that shit first and then worry about skill positions
2628324, right I still don't get trading your #1 WR in midseason for draft picks...
Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Nov-01-17 03:34 PM
when you're tied for first place in your division. Unless there was some off the field shit going on with Benjamin this move makes zero sense.
2628443, FWIW i agree with all this
Posted by cgonz00cc, Thu Nov-02-17 10:37 AM
the team is definitely worse today than they were last week, both short and long term
2628293, Kelvin slow as shit, man...lol...
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Nov-01-17 11:38 AM
I'm not taking either side on keeping him or trading him...but it takes dude forever to get off the line and he almost never gets separation. Funchess is tough as nails, but not blazing fast, either. Shit...I think Olsen might have been faster than both of them, lol. They miss a dude like Ginn that teams had to worry about them taking a shot with.
2628295, he still put up decent numbers in his first 2 years to be "slow as shit"...

Its not like they have anybody behind him that's better so to just give him away for a 3rd and a 7th just doesn't make sense.

I've said before I think they intentionally set Cam up to fail.
2628323, Kelvin was slow when they drafted him. But he is hige
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Nov-01-17 03:30 PM
I know they had issues with his weight every camp.

It’s crazy cause he pretty much sealed the game last week and Cam raves about him and a day later they trade him.

2628316, if this makes the Bills better, good

They weren’t gonna pay him. He’s ‘slow’. And allegedly not in the greatest shape, which is one of the unforgivable crimes a wide receiver can commit on his team.

And some of the Bills brass are ex panthers so someone there must not hate him.

And it ain’t like the bills didn’t have a bottom 5 wr group.

And at least they banished him out of the conference. It’s not the same as Cindy almost ‘doing the homie a solid’ with that McCarron in-division trade. Cincy shouldn’t be dong solids for anybody!

2670027, Cam is dumb and inaccurate (c) Kelvin Benjamin
Posted by will_5198, Sun Aug-05-18 09:12 PM
"I mean, I felt like I would've been even more successful if... Looking back on it, I should've just been drafted by somebody else," Benjamin told The Athletic.

"I should've never went to Carolina. Truly, I just think Carolina was bad for me. It was a bad fit from the get-go."

"If you would've put me with any other quarterback, let's be real, you know what I'm saying? Any other accurate quarterback like Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben -anybody!- quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. It just felt like I wasn't in that position."

funny thing is he plays with Josh Allen now...
2670030, Hmmm...I guess he must really think he's good
Posted by B.J.S.301, Sun Aug-05-18 10:26 PM
to talk trash about Cam like that.
2670031, Or.... he could’ve been not fat.

Posted by T Reynolds, Mon Aug-06-18 12:09 PM
he is on AB or OBJ's tier of receiver
2670055, and that is even more comedic
Posted by Dr Claw, Mon Aug-06-18 01:14 PM

if he thinks he's going to be lighting it up with Peterman and Allen... welp

2670053, said he’s the best 2014 WR because his team made the playoffs his rookie year
Posted by DJR, Mon Aug-06-18 11:59 AM
and he left out that they went to the Super Bowl without him in his second year.

Posted by COOLEHMAGAZINE, Mon Aug-06-18 10:12 PM
Benjamin is big and slow and nowhere near as good as he thinks.

Still...I thought it was funny how they drafted Kelvin and Funchess because Cam stays overthrowing people, then decided they needed speed LOL.


Also want to remind everyone that Cam Newton is an overrated football player, a corny, dumb public persona, and likely a terrible leader.


So to me, this is the only worthwhile thing Cement Shoes ever did.
2670099, once again, Devin Funchess is fast

I legit never thought about him until he was in the NFL and never hated till he was famous *shrug* can't speak for anybody else.


Any hatred I have for an NFL player is based on NFL shit.

2678076, Let's see how the unencumbered life has been treating Mr. Benjamin
Posted by micMajestic, Tue Nov-06-18 04:08 PM
He had a season high 9 targets, and managed to pull down 4 of those, which matches his season high for receptions.

He has 1 touchdown catch in the 5 games he's played this season. We can only imagine how poorly he would be doing if he was still held back by Scam Newton.

He is a member of the worst offensive roster in a looooong time. If they didn’t have Shady, lawd hammercy. And he ain’t helpin. I cannot respek out of shape young receivers. It is disrespectful to the foundations laid forever ago.
