Surprised to see Bynes as an OLB? He's always played in the middle. I didn't think he would have the wheels to play OLB in the league.

Do other teams not get injuries to supporting players or something?

Why is this surprising? Talented player, I knew he'd make an NFL roster.

Sure. But the Panthers have given Cam no help at WR. After Smith left they gave him Benjamin who was overweight and had a hundred question marks. They're lucky he worked out

What surprised me was not that he was on a preseason roster, but that he was listed as 2nd team (which I unintentionally left off).

Benjamin is a talented receiver and the best weapon they could have gotten for Cam given where they were drafting. This past draft they traded up for Funchess in the 2nd round. They are doing what they can given the cap mess that their previous GM left them in with huge bloated contracts given to players who aren't even performing anymore.
Auburn homers think that Cam is entitled to the team spending every pick on a WR or OL. That isn't how you build a team.

This is true, but the rebuild job the Panthers GM had when he came in was significant. He couldn't do it all at once. So WR so far has been the position where money has tried to be saved.
Gettleman (the Panthers GM) has done a masterful job IMO since he took the Panthers GM seat. He took a roster full of no-talent nobodies and old, overpaid players on the downside of their careers, with a salary cap exploding and has turned it into a pretty young and pretty talented team, with much of their core talent resigned to long(er) term contracts that are more friendly to the cap. Thomas Davis, Greg Olsen, Cam Newton and (soon, but not quite yet) Luke Kuechly will be locked down for the foreseeable future.
Kawann Shot, Star Lotulelei, Josh Norman are on the clock for new contracts in the next few years (Norman after this season, actually).
And, in doing this, he *has* improved the OL and the WR, but buy shades of grey and not leaps and bounds. There's just not enough money to go around. I also think the RB situation is better this year (with the addition of CAP and the release of D. Williams) than it has been in years.
So, long story short, the loss of Benjamin hurts... bad. But the lack of established talent at the WR position wasn't because nobody wanted to have talent there, it was more the luck of the GM team-building draw.

Anybody get teh sadz watching Ameer Abdullah tear it up for Detroit the other day?
Posted on 8/21/15 at 8:25 am to BowlJackson
Meh. It was either him or Tre Mason. I think that was a push.

Robensen Therezie laying some wood tonight for the Falcons (vs. the Jets).
Matter of fact, he knocked himself a little woozie. They had to take him out (to do the concussion protocol on him, I think).

Right?
I saw him listed as 2nd team LT for the Niners.

True, but Abdullah can do so much for you all over the field. Could have had Tre at TB and Ameer on the field at the same time lined up at the slot, threat to catch the ball and come on a speed sweep.
Being from OTM B'ham I just hate seeing these talented OTM kids have to go out of state to tear it up

Robenson Therezie was injured in the first half while trying to take ball carrier's head off. To be frank, it looked like Therezie's tackle was a little high, and there might've been some helmet-to-helmet. He was officially diagnosed with a head injury and his return was questionable.
Someone said he was back in in the comments section of the SB Nation post that came from.
