2014 vs 2015 - Wide Receivers

Last week I compared the Carolina Panthers offensive lines

This week it is time to take a look at the 2015 Carolina Panthers wide receivers against those of 2014. These lineups are as of today and this same day one year ago. 

The lineup and approximate depth chart looks something like this...

Kelvin Benjamin took over the primary target spot last year from day one. From there, it does appear to be significant improvement in terms of starters and depth. 

3 players in the Panthers top 6 options at this point last season ended up not making the team. Rookie risers Corey Brown displaced Jason Avant by mid season 2014. 

The top 6 of 2014 compared to this far in 2015 shows tremendous improvement. Benjamin, Funchess, Brown, Ginn, Bersin and Cotchery look to be the best overall receivers corps the Panthers have had in many, many seasons. 

Thus, by once again crunching the numbers and applying our proprietary Huddle Algorithm, I can safely say the Carolina Panthers receives have seen a 38.21% increase in skill, speed, and overall ability over this time last season. 

Agree or Disagree?

I wouldn't object to switching a couple of digits and making it an 83.21% improvement. I think all the bases are covered now.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
