Through week 3, the 2014 Carolina Panthers have increased productivity at the WR position in all stats except for touchdowns. One big variable here was the loss of Cam Newton in week 1. Cam started all three games in 2013.

 

I much prefer this season's receivers. Kelvin Benjamin has out performed Steve Smith. Behind him are four receivers capable of making a play instead of only two.

 

Dave Gettleman is so far once again proving the offseason pundits wrong.

That's great. Thid current core of WRs are definately better. If only Gettleman proved pundits wrong on the o-line...

Yeah, I do not get why he didn't get some kind of upgrade at one of the tackle spots. Maybe they were trying to convince themselves that they were better than awful.

Gettleman so far has shown that he is making good decisions for the team. I agree the offensive line is, offensive. Going cheap there is going to ensure that Cam suffers more during the season and the running game has not yet found its wheels.

DG said he would need two years and he made a judgement call this season on which position to improve and so far it seems like the right one starting at 2-1 hopefully he continues to prove many of us wrong

Kelvin has been great already and he hasn't even gotten a lot of the timing down with Cam yet.

He's made some ridiculous catches and dropped some easier ones. If he can put together a complete game, he may finish with 200 yards and 2 touchdowns or so.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
