We pretty much have the same team we had back in 03-04.

[Awesomeness!!]

Look at it like this. QB that nobody is really sure about. We can not be stopped running the ball (Stephon Davis, Foster, even Nick Goings....lol...Nick Goings) The WR group was a little better with Ricky P and Moose, but neither one has a light it up kind of guy. The defense was, and still is our best side of the ball. Hardy and Brown on our D-Line will be in QBs faces all year, mark my words. Decent corners, not great, but not terrible, and the linebackers are still awesome....please we still have Kasey!

Keep pounding.

....you forgot the chip on the shoulder mentality.....

[Awesomeness!!]

We'll they have us finishing right there with the Bucs this year so...

The circumstances are similar, the team is completely different. In 03, we knew that the running backs and wr's were solid, and we had a solid, albeit roided up, offensive line. Only questionmark was the QB.

Sounds like the kickoff is going out of bounds in the Super Bowl to me.

[DudeNamedJeremy]

does this mean matt moore gets pulled week 1 and jimmy clausen comes in and lights it up?

[SorthNarolina]

Our secondary is WAYYYYYYY better than 03 or 04. D-line is worse, LB is probably just a tad worse because witherspoon/morgan are better than Beason/Connor. If you throw in fields it gets even more one sided even if Davis comes back.

O-line is better, more well rounded. Run game is much better. WR is far worse. QB is a push for now. 03-04 Jake might be better than Moore if preseason means anything. I think Moore will be better though.

I just love the fact that we have a bunch of young guys that will play with fire and passion all season. That's the similarity I see from the 03 season, and we all know what happened that year!

[Dpantherman]

I actually think LB is just as good right. and it will be better if we are in contention late in the season with Davis healthy. If it plans out like I want it too in my head, we won't even need Davis until the playoffs

[OneBadassCat]

The secondary on this squad is way better. The 03 team had Jenkins. JStew and Williams blow the doors off of Davis and Foster. The o-lines are probably about equal. The overall WR unit was better in 03 however we have a better Steve Smith.

[Dpantherman]

just my opinion, but Gary Barnidge is just as good or better than Ricky Proehl as far as receiving talent. I think hes that damn good

Fields didn't play in 03, much like Davis will not play this year.

Our Dline is no where close to the 03 dline. While this line is smaller and quicker the 03 line just dominated... Rucker, Jenkins, Peppers and co, just man handled other offensive lines. Plus we had an established receiving corps, with polished veterans, not rookies who are out to prove themselves.

i really want to see more of him in the passing game
