-LaFell > Simpson that year. Simpson stepped up that year and had more receptions, yards, and TDs than LaFell.
-Gresham > Olsen that year, too. Gresham had more receptions, yards, and TDs than Olsen.
I feel like you kind of just looked at names and decided they were better due to reputation today.
2012: Ehhh, I would say more like...
-Williams = BJGE. Williams only ran for like 737 yards at 4.3 YPC that year. Sure BJGE ran at 3.9 YPC, but he ran for 1,094 yards. Not sure that's so clear cut of an advantage for Williams.
2013: Agreed.
2014: Lololol....
-Green/anybody > Benjamin... Green played essentially 11 games and still had more yards than Benjamin's 16 games. Think you got a little too much Benjamin love there.
-ANYBODY > 2014 Ginn... Ginn had 190 yards and 0 TD in 16 games. Tate only being the backup #2 in the games where AJ didn't play had 193 yards and 1 TD. That's not counting Sanu actually being the #2 when AJ was around.
To put it in perspective.... 2014 Ginn: 14/190/0 in 16 games. 2012 Binns: 24/277/1 in 11 games.
2015: This will be the one time I think you were too kind too kind to the Bengals in your rankings.
-Olsen > Eifert... Olsen: 77/1,104/7, Eifert: 52/615/13. Cam likes to run it in so he can dance for 30 seconds, but Olsen seriously had 500 more yards receiving. That's damn near double.

By my count that puts the Bengals at an advantage of 11-8-1.
You're just going by yards / TDs... there are more meaningful stats than those
2011:
I had LaFell over Simpson, because Simpson had 9 drops that year (15.25%). Yeah, Simpson had more yards and TDs, but his drop % was just horrible, and he was 80th in the league in drop %. LaFell on the other hand was very sure handed that year only dropping 2 passes, which had him 11th best in the league.
The same goes for Olsen vs Gresham. Gresham had almost twice as many drops as Olsen, so I put Olsen over Gresham.
2012:
Jonathan Stewart was also on the team, and he provided an additional 493 total yards and total 2 TD. Willams had 924 total yards and 7 total TDs. BJGE had 1198 total yards and 6 TDs. I think it's pretty clear the Panthers had a better run game this year.
2014:
Green was out for a big portion of the games. Benjamin had 1008 yards 9 TDs, Green had 1041 6 TDs. I'm pretty sure 3 TDs > 33 yards.
My bad I meant Cotchery not Ginn who had 580 yards and 1 TD.
If you really want to say the #1 vs #1 receiver it would be Olsen vs Green, and #2s would be Benjamin vs Sanu and the #3s would be Cotchery vs Gresham, which ALL of the panthers players out preformed the Bengals (Gresham had 3 fumbles, so I'm putting Cotchery over him).
