For instance you give LaFell the nod over Simpson because of Simpson's drops; yet give Benjamin the nod over Green despite Benjamin leading the league in dropped passes.
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).
Too funny you discount Leonard's stats because he uses yards and catches; yet you do the same only when it supports your view.
IMO and has earned a top 10 ranking in the NFL; arguably the elite 8. But when fans try to hard to pump him up it kinds of cheapens it. Ask anybody who has watched the NFL the past 5 years to tell you who has had the better receiving corp in their career.
