Kaepernick Trade For Dalton?

Fresh has had two seasons back to back with 3 fumbles too. This isn't the first time either had those kind of numbers. You keep compairing just the #1 and the TE too. Cam has had an all around better offense around him most years. That fact is going to change soon though, because he's been losing guys, and next year we will have a much better offense.

In Olsen's previous 5 seasons as full-time starter, he averaged 643 yards. He had 1008 last year. He set career high's in targets (12 better than his previous best), yards (165 more than his previous best) and catches (11 more than his previous best). This in his 8th season in the NFL. I call that an anomaly and I'd bet that he's closer to 700-800 yards this season.

Gresh's production was closer to normal for him, but his yards/catch was a career low (7.4) and his yards per game was also a career low (30.7). Even though I'm not the biggest Gresh fan, you can usually expect 500+ yards of production from him in a full season.

I've already told you why I'm only comparing the WR and TE. I think the rest is a wash:

Lafell = Simpson/Binns/Tate/MLJ/Sanu
JStew/DWill = CedBen/BJGE/Gio/Hill

Their RB's were quite clearly better than ours in 2011. Not so much in 2012 and 2013. Last year, our RB's were easily better. Over the course of the last 4 years, it's been pretty equal. Here's the rushing stats with the QB's rushing totals subtracted (ypc in parenthesis):

Bengals

2011: 418-1626-9  (3.89)
2012: 383-1625-7  (4.24)
2013: 420-1572-12 (3.74)
2014: 432-1978-15 (4.58)

Totals: 6801 yards - 4.11 ypc - 43 TDs

Panthers
2011: 319-1702-12 (5.34)
2012: 335-1347-13 (4.02)
2013: 372-1441-8  (3.87)
2014: 370-1497-5  (4.05)

Totals: 5987 yards - 4.29 ypc - 38 TDs

I don't see how you could really view these totals and think that Cam had a better run game behind him. In 2011, sure, but it looks like we were better or at least equal in each of the last 3 years.
