The other NFC South ESPN staff writers agree on Julio being the divisions best offensive player......except for David Newton.  While trying to temper your Panthers homerism, what say you?  Agree with Newton or the other writers?  Or a different player all together?

Best WR?  Yeah I see that.

Best Offensive player?  idk... is he a better offensive weapon than Cam?

Probably not, but its hard to say. Cam has spent most of his career running for his life with no one to throw to. 

 

Who knows what he can really do?

The Panthers are winning because of Cam, how are the Falcons doing with JJ?

and yeah, Luke is the best players on field in most games. Amazing for as young as he is.

It's almost like there are 10 other guys on the field at one time that help determine how well a team does...

Kind of why these positional comparisons are kind of dumb imo...  can you really compare a WR to a QB?  QB has a lot more chances to impact a game.

First, fug you guys for getting me to click a ESPN link.

 

Jones is probably a top 4 WR in the league. 
Outside of the game where he killed Green Bay, what other games has he taken over? (honest question)

 

Hard for me to say there is a harder to defend player than Cam Newton.

I agree with this.  It's apples to oranges.  DN might be a little loony sometimes, but he has a solid argument here.

Also known as the game where Green Bay dropped like 38 on them in the first half (38-0 IIRC) , and then just sat back and coasted the rest of the game where Julio tore up a defense that quite literally wasn't even trying anymore.

Falcons and Julio fans have turned that performance, and game, into some sort of myth.  It was annoying how big of a deal they tried to make that game out to be afterwards... lmao I've literally never seen garbage time and stats get bragged about so much.  A game they lost.

They even tried to use that as a reason they were going to whip our asses week 17 last year.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
