Didn't see the stat on there where it says how many drops they had...

Owens had 9 drops in 2009.

I'll take that if it means better stats than Moose for your #2 each and every time.

By the way, Smitty had more dropped passes than Moose did. As did Vernon Davis, Dwayne Bowe, Santonio Holmes, Dallas Clark, Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, Donald Driver, Antonio Gates, Brandon Marshall, Miles Austin, DeSean Jackson, Greg Jennings, Roddy White, and some scrub named Wes Welker.

Now, if there is a stat for throwing good blocks, that'd be interesting to see. How many Moose threw, and how many TO threw as a Bill. We rely on that.

Yes. If you want to WIN NOW, trying your luck on young unproven talent doesn't make sense --- but that's the point - the team doesn't want to win now! The Panthers are (convinced) there will be a lock out. Their goal is to get through this season. That's it. There are no short term goals and any desire for quick fixes like Owens.

Then they should give all PSL holders their money back if they don't want to "win now". :wink:

2005? Really?

2006 - 1,180 yards 13 TDs

2007 - 1,355 yards 15 TDs

2008- 1,052 yards 10 TDs

2009 - 829 yards 5 TDs with arguably the worst group of QBs in the NFL.

Moose hasnt had a 1,000 yard double digit TD season since 2004. No comparison. Owens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Moose

2010 -37 years old. And I said nothing about Moose.

in my eyes, this is still a no-brainer. throw the guy 3mill, and have a reliable #2 to throw to for a year while Lafell and Edwards groom. even if he is a locker room distraction, our guys can suck it up for a year and possibly make a run at the post-season. hell, i would've signed the guy back in march or april. and it's not like John Fox hasn't had a locker room cancer cell before... i.e. Keyshawn Johnson... just sayin'

37? So what? You think he'd slip THAT bad in less than a year? And you quoted TO's and Moose's stats, that's why it seemed like you were trying to make a point about Moose.

But this thread should end right about...now, he ain't coming here.

Yeah, so with the MeShawn experiment, what happened at year's end? Oh yeah, the Panthers realized that they didn't need the locker room cancer and cut his bum ass.

And picked up Dwayne Jarrett, so far that decision has turned out well.

Yeah that experiment has failed, but that is all DJ and nothing to do with Meshawn. The point is that the Panthers took a flyer on a disgruntled productive WR that the OC had some experience with and still cut his ass after a productive, yet bitch-filled, season. Expecting anything different from TO is wishful thinking.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
