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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
