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.

      Pass Rush

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      The year he had another edge rusher opposite him in Reddick, Reddick ended up having more sacks. Burns was good at rushing the passer here but he was taken out of plays far too often by a single TE or you'd never even known he was in the game at all.  The Rams offer was equivalent to prime Khalil Mack or a TJ Watt. Those guys single handedly took over games and stopped drives. I can't remember a game Burns ever did that. Do we wish we had the level of production hes giving right now? Of course. Do I think we'd have it here. No.  At the time, his production was on par with Reddick, not Parsons. Pay production and incentivise potential.

      Technically our guys are in the top 6 in sacks for rookies and Scourton is tied for the lead.

      That's why so many said he wasn't worth it here, there was only DB and it wasn't enough. If Burns is feasting then the other guys in NY are doing enough already, Burns is just collecting the stats. It's what he eas built for and is finally in his perfect space to succeed. Im not as in on the new guys yet. More is an understatement but the good news is that they are rookies.
