All Time Team

[London Loves Luke]

The Carolina Panthers were founded exactly 21 years and 3 days ago, so to mark this momentous landmark I thought about doing a best ever team.

 

Rules:

• Pick any past or current Panther player playing at the peak of their ability
• Teams should contain all skill players, at least 2 line men from each line and one special teamer. 
• Your choice of nickel, full back, 2/3/4/5 receiver formation
• Pick a coach to lead your team to the sooperboel
• Analyse stupid picks and the deficiencies of their makers mercilessly

Here goes:

Coach: John Fox

 

Offence

Quarterback: Cam Newton

Receiver 1: Smith

Receiver 2: Moose

Receiver 3: Kelvin Benjamin (Closely followed by Michael Bates)

Tight End: Wes Walls

Running Back: Stephen Davis

OL: Jordan Gross

OL: Ryan Kalil

OL: Jeno James

 

Defence

LB: Luke Keuchly

LB: Sam Mills

LB: Kevin Greene

DL: Julius Peppers

DL: Charles Johnson

DL: Kris Jenkins

DB: Mike Minter

DB: Chris Gamble

DB: Eric Davis

DB: Mike Mitchell

 

Kicker: John Kasay

 

Took some time to figure some of these positions out, some (WR, RB) because we have a fair amount of good candidates and some (FS, OL) because I really couldn't think of players who have stood out.

Hardy over CJ, and maybe TD over Mills, but otherwise, yeah.

[Jeremy Igo]

This thread makes me sad mainly because it seems like an offseason thread. You know, like the Bucs fans have been posting on their board since week 3.

[OriginalPantherDan]

On second thought, keep mills.

Would you rather we discuss our O-Line or Fire Shula some more?

[Toundra]

Like you OP, but..

Patrick Jeffers over rookie KB

Krakken over CJ

Walls or Olsen = draw.

And with this offensive line, Dwil or Js over Davis.

 

 

edit: and since we need another DL, Short!!!!!

Was a tough one because 09 stewart was the best our power rush ever got but Davis had the edge speed wise. I might be slightly biased because I used to love Davis in Madden.

I am of the opinion 2008 DeAngelo Williams was one of the best running back seasons ever. 1,500+ yards while splitting carries, 20 TDs, and no fumbles. That's unheard of.

[Peppers90 NC]

yea hard for me to put one year wonders like Mitchell and Davis on an all-time team.

[Ricky Spanish]

QB1: Cam form any year

QB2: Jake Delhomme from '03

 

RB1: Deangelo from '08

RB2: Stewart from '09

RB3: Tolbert

 

FB: Hoover

 

WR1: Smitty

WR2: Muhammad

WR3: Benji... it's sad that he's a rookie and already showing he might be one of our team's better receivers throughout history

 

TE1: Greg Olsen

TE2: Walls

 

 

O-Line. I'll be honest, I didn't know enough about football at the beginning of their existence to give an educated guess at who was good and who wasn't. Here's some I know were good at one point:

 

Gross

Wharton

Kalil

Whale

Piggy

 

DE: Peppers

DE: Kraken circa last year

 

DT: Jenkins

DT: KK from this year

 

OLB: Beason the year Davis got hurt the first time. He did fine at OLB that year.

MLB: Luke

OLB: Davis

 

CB: Gamble

CB: Eric Davis

Slot CB: Captain. Sucked on the outside, great inside.

 

S: Minter

S: Mitchell from last year

 

 

K: Kasay

P: Nortman

KR: Bates

PR: Smitty
