Edge to 89 only because 2005 also included another fantastic playoff performance (which isn't included in the graphic).   

In 3 postseason games that year 89 averaged 110+ receiving yards and had 5 total TDs.

second leading receiver on the 2005 team was deshaun foster. there was no one else. 

2019 panthers were a wreck but there were still options on the outside. plus steve's season mattered. for the last eight games panthers were just juicing cmc's numbers so we'd all have a reason to watch.

Raw numbers-wise its CMC, who just had one of the most dominant seasons EVER by a RB. If you consider how the team did, Smitty, though the "force fed" argument could be used against 89 that year, too. I remember so many of us complaining that we didn't have anyone else to throw it to.

CMC. Dude basically plays two positions for us as a great RB and a 1000 yard WR. Great years for both but I would take CMC there all day. Did you see our OL and QB play last year? CMC was literally working with nothing. At least Smith had Delhomme, Gross, Olddd Davis, Hoover and our D was better ran and had plenty of talent compared to what we all saw last year.

I can see the argument for both sides but recency bias and the fact that only 2 other players are apart of the 1k/1k club makes mean lean towards CMC (11 people have won the triple crown). Smith had a better supporting cast. CMC was the offense last year. 

So CMC by a hair, but I see the argument for Smith. That was a fun as hell year.

      The right answer is neither and drafting Maye with the #1 Pick of the 2024 Draft lmfao we traded away the #1 in a QB LOADED DRAFT

      I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.

      They weren't well thought out. We needed one, not both. 2 top center/guard candidates were going to be available in the 2nd. We would have been fine with JPJ or Frazier. Drafting either over XL or Brooks would have made perfect sense. Hell, drafting both would have made sense even if we had signed Lewis or Hunt. Instead we drafted a 1 year wonder project WR and a luxury RB that we didn't need since we had Hubbard. Draft IOL, pay tackles. Plenty of 2nd round guards and centers start immediately and play very well. Those 2 picks were not good then, now, no matter how much explaining anyone tries to do. Several of called it then.
