fretgod99 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 He's having season-ending surgery following his injury during last night's win against the Dolphins. People questioned why the Panthers traded away Benjamin, their leading WR. Part of that had to do with getting speedier playmakers like Samuel opportunities. He hadn't had a huge impact yet, but was trending upward with some nice catches and third down conversions against the Dolphins. Hopefully, Russell Sheperd quits dropping wide open receptions going forward ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 An already limited receiving corps got even more limiteder. Rough for the Panthers. Wish him the best in a fast and healthy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Damiere Byrd will be back soon and he is the same kind of receiver that Samuel is, so I don't think this will end up being too big of a loss. Samuel hadn't done much this year anyway, but always flashed with his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Look like he was just starting to get involved in the O. Sucks. whats Philly (corey) Brown up to nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sucks for Samuel, he was just getting his real shot. Too bad the trade deadline is up, we’d ship Ginn back for a small fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Bummer. Traded away Benjamin so Samuel could assume a larger role, then he gets hurt. Now I don't think I can name a Panthers WR other than Funchess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zithers2 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Devin Funchess Russell Shephard Kaelin Clay Brenton Bersin Quake in fear, mortals. We should sign Smitty back for his swan song.... or, like, promote Mose Frazier from the practice squad I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 As the old adage goes, you reap what you sow. I hope they don't feel dumb for trading away their top receiver now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers since 2014 when they drafted Benji With Benji playing: 19-22-1 With Benji not playing: 19-2 Marty Hurney is a GENIUS for trading him away tbh. All of us thought it was dumb as heck at first but clearly we are not on the same plane as the GOAT GM. He and Rivera said this would allow us to put more speed on the field to get teams to stop stacking the box against us... and whaddya know... 495 rush yards the past two games! Went from averaging 97 rush yards per game to 127 in just two weeks! Of course this makes me wonder: why the hell did we always start Benji and Funchess together instead of rotating them on a constant basis? Whatever. I guess it is better to find a solution later than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close enough I guess. I also would have accepted McCaffrey. Regardless, point stands that KB surely isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has free reign to do whatever now - he could legit bring a rowboat on to the field and row his way wherever. Given his new gig, I'd kill to see him roast a DB on a post route, break out a hot microphone and do an on field interview with the DB he victimized... "Say bruh? Say bruh? What happened on that, you just got dusted by an old man bruh!? Go ice up son, now get off my field!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
