Yet we still keep KB. Go figure. I know he didn't do anything and I am not upset about it or anything, but still. They aren't giving these guys any kind of chance and yet sit there keeping an obviously heartless bum that drops pass after pass, td after td, making no effort. Pryor gave no effort either and we had much less “invested” in him, so it is easier to let him go. There was one play on Sunday where the ball was a bit off target and he didn’t even bother to extend to the ball or attempt to get to it. Time to spread the reps to the young guys to see what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Honestly I’ve been thinking for awhile now that given the state of their salary cap and what’s available, they may as well load up on youth and speed and the expense of experience or height. Pressure the defense to cover a bunch of fast guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure the defense to cover a bunch of fast guys. When Josh gets back, fast guys will be even more valuable. That's probably another reason. This should have been well known before the season started. A lot of us (including you IIRC) were criticizing the handling of the QB situation because we had no WR, and Popgun Pete, which would allow the defenses to easily take away our run game, and we wouldn't and couldn't beat them over the top, which was exactly what happened. And it didn't take a rocket surgeon. It's incredible that McD and Beane didn't accept this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't spend a 3rd round pick on Pryor. Benji isn't going anywhere. Although it can be credibly argued that he should be let go. I don't get cutting Pryor after two weeks. And folks get upset when players hold out for better financial or situational circumstances. More power to them because these teams will sign em today and cut em tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like what I have to say, put me on "ignore". I could not care less what you think, but look through the players signed and on the team now - the number connected to Carolina is tiny. 3 players on the Current Roster - KB at WR Star at DT DA at QB That is the entirety of the Carolina connection with Buffalo. Even the guys brought in and cut recently have been from other places. Denver, NE, NYJ, etc. You are entitled to your opinion, but I am within my rights to call you on it. It is something that people that do not like Beane and McDermott try to push as a big issue and it just is not. Have they brought in some ex-panthers - yep and when they find a better player they have replaced them all over the field - just like FAs from any other team. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pryor hasn't developed yet, he's not going to. He's like 29 yrs old. So, in this case it was lack of patience on a vet that isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie's ire Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 51 minutes ago, BillsFanMike said: If they cut Benjamin we won't have a chance at a compensatory pick when another team signs him in the off season. AT first this made sense to me...but with 80 mil in cap space and a seeming aversion to huge money contracts, I suspect this front office is going to sign a lot of solid but not big name free agents. Think Poyer and Hyde from a year ago. If that is the case, they will probably sign quite a few free agents and have no shot at a compensatory pick.

Of course I have watched KB watch balls that he should have made a play for fall to the ground....so there is that......they need to bench him to prove a point.
