2011
Smith > Green
Brandon Lafell > Jerome Simpson
Gregg Olsen > Gresham
Panthers RBs >> Benson

2012
Green > Smith
Brandon Lafell >> Hawkins
Gregg Olsen >>> Gresham
Panthers RBs >> BJGE

2013
Green >> Smith
Jones > Brandon Lafell
Greg Olsen >>> Gresham
Panthers RBs >>> BJGE

2014
Green (when healthy) >>> Benjamin >> Sanu
Sanu > Cotchery > Tate
Greg Olsen >>>> Gresham
Hill >>> Panthers RBs

The only year where I totally agree with you is 2011. Green progressed in year 2 and even though I think Steve Smith is a baller, he wasn't on AJ's level at that point. The Panther's run game wasn't really better than ours in '12 and '13 if you look at the overall numbers. Fact is, the Bengals and Panthers both had pretty crappy production from their RB's in those 2 years. The secondary WR's are about as equal as it gets.

So imo:

AJ Green > Steve Smith/Kelvin Benjamin
Simpson/Binns/Tate/MLJ/Sanu = Lafell/Cotchery
Gresham < Olsen
CedBen/BJGE/Gio/Hill = JStew/DWill/Mike Tolbert

I just don't see a ton of difference there as far as talent. Dalton had a better #1 WR, Newton had a better TE. The rest is a wash. Slight advantage Dalton, imo.
