Benjamin 'close' to signing a new contract
-

Mike Evans certainly pushes off more than most, but if they don't call it...LOL. Evans also has more infuriating drops than just about anybody on the planet. Still, he's a viable threat, and will probably only get more dangerous. You know who else pushes off? Kelvin Benjamin for the Panthers. I know he was hurt this season (geez...think about the Panthers with HIM healthy), but in his early years, he had about 5 touchdowns called back in college for pushing off, LOL. However, he learned how to do it "legally" and he blossomed. What do Evans and Kelvin have in common? SIZE, SIZE, and more SIZE.

It did, but obviously it no longer does.
I just wanted to make a joke about JFF being a massive tool.

Manziel was good in college because he was in college. Receivers are the most overrated players on the field. The Panthers will probably win the Super Bowl and no one seems to care that their best wide receiver is Ted Ginn Jr. Almost every year the champions win with QB play and defense. We have neither and we still have people complaining about receivers? Do you people pay attention to what happens in the NFL or do you just watch your diabetic neighbor play madden?
Remember that one time Bellicheck drafted a receiver in the first round? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

Good post. And, I agree. But technically, there was Derrick Alexander

Did anyone miss Gronks pushoff in the back of the endzone when he scored over the smaller DB? They never really showed it later in the highlights of the Denver loss, just the ending TD catch. He gets away with it more than any other NFL player. Here was the best they would actually show.

Agree...
Also true? Mike Evans is more than just a tall WR who pushes off everytime... which is how I think I mistakenly characterized him prior to his draft.
I wouldn't have argued with that. Refs around here let both sides get away with murder on the boundaries. That said, Evans has some tremendous tools.
Agree... offensive PI is undercalled, but I'd rather the refs call Defensive less than try to equalize offensive by throwing even more flags.

Poorly worded by me... Yes, Evans still pushes off a lot, but since he's been a pro I've seen adjustments and body control I never saw at A&M.

mike evans was my fave receiver in that draft. push off or not, the browns have no one a qb can throw the ball 6 ft. over their had and come down with it in the end zone while little flea cbs bounce up and off him like the fleas they are (compared to him). gronk? mark bavarro? ozzie? can we find someone bigger that a beetle to grab a ball over their heads and then steam roll people into the end zone?
maybe?

You were right on Evans, for sure.
I still wish they had taken Allen Robinson in that draft.

You're right, I meant patriot era Belichick, after he had learned how to win.

Barnidge.....and Terrelle Pryor if he sticks and performs.
Gordon, if he returns.....and yes, I am in favor of drafting a big WR. Mayle was supposed to be there as well. How could they have missed so badly on him?

Hartline is 6'2" also. With him and Barnie that's two. And don't forget bowe and housler...

yeah and barnidge is no gronk, or bavarro, or ozzie or evans. sure he looks great when he grabs a pass wide open because no one thinks anything of him except us. it was like the wentz pass to vanetti (osu te in the senior bowl)....you can say wow, great pass (behind him by 2 yards) or great catch but did he make it a yard after someone tripped him up by his shoelaces?
c'mon man. there's a HUGE difference.
i mean when's the last time we saw any browns player carry four defenders on his back 10 yards into the end zone? mack? meanwhile gronk and those built like him do it 10 times a game.

Benjamin is a solid #2 and should be accurately compensated. If he is looking for #1 money that is a harder decision.

Yet somehow Russell Wilson makes due with a set of WRs that are 5'10, 6'1, 5'10, 6'0 and 6'1... Why is that?
And one the shortest was his best...

Better O-Line, running game and defense.

Talk to the 49ers of the late 80s early 90s.
All positions are going to be overvalued when you excel at other aspects. The Panthers have rushed for 100 yards in 31 straight games and combine that with their defense you don't need to throw for 400 yards.

Correlation does not equal causation.
Put up one of the best stretches, if not the very best, in NFL history during the 2nd half of 2015. His O-line is also patch work, and not made up of highly-touted draft picks like the Browns'

Which one makes Wilson taller?
