Brad Evans gets potshots in at Jake (RE: D. Will's decrease in production)

[top dawg]

I am not going to discuss the merits of his analysis (LINK) which seem basically right, but two statements are kind of amusing:

1."For the alleged matchup-proof rusher, the start to his '09 campaign wasn't supposed to be this way. As we discussed in August, the Panthers' entire offense from last year remained intact. His schedule did appear daunting, but based on his dismantling of quality defenses late last year (i.e. the New York Giants), he was expected to be invincible. Not even Jake Delhomme's perpetual suckage would be his kryptonite."

2.In recent years, Carolina has used the run to set up the pass. But this season that offensive philosophy has flipped. The Panthers are throwing more and running less, evident in Williams' decrease in carries ('08: 17.1 att/g, '09: 14.8). In some circumstances, this would be a positive shift, but considering Delhomme would have difficulties accurately distributing the ball to King Kong, it has affected the team negatively.

One thing that I don't think that he has taken into consideration is that a couple of the games have kind of been skewed, and we HAD to pass more because we were down (of course it's arguable that it came down to Jake's ineffectiveness). Furthermore, he didn't mention that Williams had similar numbers at this time last year.

The barbs were funny to me though.

Just think if we had 3 Karim Abdul Jabbars at WR we would have won several SB's by now.
