I pretty much agree with this with the addition of Muhammad for WR2.

I do think Jayce Horn is probably already the best CB in franchise history in terms of ability. But I understand him not earning the spot yet. 

I didn't take the WR2 spot because it was just simpler for me. I would agree on Moose, obviously.

Horn probably doesn’t make top ten in franchise history because you actually have to play games to do so. I'm actually not trying to be flippant when I say that but that same argument could be made for a lot of our injury plagued players in franchise history. 

Would have and could have just end up mattering very little when you compare them to did.

I'll make it a bit interesting, especially since a have some free time. If I had to make a 53 man roster with our all-time players. I would do this

When you go back and look at stats, McCaffrey totaled about what Stewart and Williams did when you combine his rushing and receiving, but he never even passed Cam on the all-time rushing list. 

Safety was hard, but I went with Harris over Cota due to his 12 FFs in 3 years.

2nd string RT was hard too.

I don't know what y'all are thinking with JStew. He was a good RB but the guy only had one 1000 yard season in his career. 

I mean it wasn’t his fault he was drafted behind Williams. But I think just on his ability in his  prime he was the best between the tackles runner. He had power, and the speed to break away.  Almost like our version of Fred Taylor. 

It’s hard because imo both Williams and Stewart were top 5 talents in their day but they were taking reps away from each other on the same team. 
 

Deangelo might be a HOFer in another timeline for another squad. In his day he  closest thing I’ve seen to Barry Sanders save for maybe Saquan. He just didn’t have the top end gear, at least not for long.

LaFell never even had a 700 yard season for us. Not sure he would make a top 10 list of our WR's. All his best years were post Carolina.

He was very talented, when he was available. 

McCaffrey is hard to judge because he really didn't have much talent around him. He was 90% of the offense. So he got most of the touches but he also didn't have much support. 

Stewart/Williams had Steve Smith, Greg Olsen, and (for a while) Cam on the field as well. They had a supporting cast but also less opportunity than he did.

Not much else to pick from. Here is our Top 25. 

This is how poor our WR history is.

Kelvin was better. Plus he could play LT in a pinch in 2014.

Also, I puked in my mouth a little reading that list. So many busts.

Truthfully, the seniors club like Proehl/Cotchery were probably better than Benjamin/LaFell/Funchess/etc.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
