Recommended Posts

Well, he won’t have to be afraid of catch passes from Josh...

Another Brandon Beane gem.:devil:

 

55% of KB's career earnings came from the roughly one season he spent in Buffalo between being traded-for and quietly cut at midseason in 2018.

 

That first $120M in cap space Beane used to acquire new veteran personnel for his re-build went entirely down the drain.........the worst stretch of spending in Bills history.   12 months of all misses.

I thought only rookies and players without an accrued season were eligible.  Huh.

 

But did he really ever "play" a full season?  Seemed like the kid in phys-ed who got tired easily and only did enough to get a passing grade (get his paycheck).

That's what he had become by the time he was in Buffalo.

 

His rookie and 3rd year he played in 16 games.  One 1000 yd season and one close (941 yds).

Raid that’s funny as I had a kid in flag when my boys were little and the poor kid couldn’t catch, run or pretty much do anything as my guys were 5 and 7.  We had to put him at center and have him two sneak calls so he could get the ball.  This boys parents would pack donuts in his go bag for the games, And he would have some between every series.

 

I blame the parents for that poor kid.  He was destined for diabetes.

I often don't understand how people can dislike players they don't even know. But the vitriol for Kelvin Benjamin, long removed from Buffalo, is deserved. 

 

Laziest receiver I've ever seen. Guy would give up on routes, and not even attempt to tackle a defender after he gave up an interception. To have that kind of skill, and paycheck, and act that way on national TV is something I just can't understand. No idea what McBeane saw in this fatso.

Taken from tylerbillsfan33's scouting report:

 

"Kelvin Benjamin was a good wide receiver coming out of Florida State.  He was a big target and helped his QB in college and the NFL. He was big and tall and could catch the ball well.  He was drafted in the same year as Sammy Watkins and OBJ.  They were good in college also.  They all played in the NFL and Kelvin Benjamin played for Carolina and the Bills.  Brandon Beane was the Assistant GM with Carolina and knew of Benjamin.  Beane also knew Watkins. So Kelvin Benjamin played in the NFL and was a big target. What say you?"

Note how Bills fans now laugh at his name.

 

It was all a bit different the day they announced we had signed him, and the same laughers assured us he was a great player.

Well, the fan base is entitled to be wrong.  Likewise, there were a few members here carping early on that a few too many Carolina retreads were signed here.  My father tended to buy GM if he was buying a used car, and that didn't stop him from getting bitten at least once.  KB's career started off with good results, then tapered off.  The same reason Lesley Gore isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 🤔😇

And look where we are now.

 

every GM makes mistakes.  Every single one.  Not every GM goes from 19 year playoff drought to playoffs in 3 of his 4 years.
 

Not every fan cries and whines about mistakes made years ago on a daily basis.  Especially fans of teams that are universally dubbed a top 3-4 team in the league.  
 

Saying I told you so about mistakes a GM made....while said GM completely turns around the franchise from laughing stock of the league over for 20 years to an elite football team. 🙄

Right they never see the progress  or process but instead looking everything the bad way of things. I'm thankful to have beane McDermott and everyone on the team.

Right, got that far. I just watched the 1:30 from the posters time stamp and didn't understand how it was relevant. 

Huge possibility here that I am a dumb-dumb. 

 

 


The video clip starts with the words, “Benjamin! You nasty youth. Your heart is rotten to the core.” Seemed applicable to Benjamin the WR.

Weren't you the same guy who Trashed Allen repeatedly before last season? There is a saying about glass houses that comes to mind.
