Lets get something straight now- Bené Benwikere did not deserve to be cut by the Panthers. Skill wise he has next to no experience covering elite receivers, not to mention the size difference between him (6 feet, 195 lbs) and Julio Jones (6'3, 220). Another factor which allowed Julio to catch for 300 yards is the tactics used by the Falcons coach; he was intentionally running other receivers deep on Bene to tire him out and then sending Julio to do the same. Julio is more experienced, stronger, faster, bigger AND can out jump Benwikere. Even then, Bené was left to cover perhaps the leagues' best receiver. I think if anyone is going to be blamed for this, it should be Ron Rivera for thinking that was a good idea.
Aside from the fact that he was being judged for a stupid coaching choice and a complete mismatch, the Panthers now have NO experienced corners. Perhaps Bené could never play as a first or even second corner, but I challenge any of you to find a better nickel back.
At the end of the day nothing i say will change this, what's done is done. Hopefully Another team can realize, appreciate and utilize the skill he has and this is not the end of his career.
