Panthers: number one running game in the leauge?

because overall carolina doesn't run the ball enough.

arguably. but when we do we're beast, and you could make that case that because we don't run as much as we should and we're STILL putting up these numbers, we are numero uno. or at least really close.

we are close. we are leading in rushing TDs by 1.

giants are the best but with jacobs down or maybe just weakened we could take that over. if we run the ball (hard and often) like we did tonight i have no doubt that we could become the best running game even with a healthy jacobs in NY. atlanta and esp. tenn can make arguments but i think ours is potentially the best.

We lead the NFL in rushing TDs (23).

Statistically our rushing attack is 4th in the NFL (1,898 yds). We are behind the Giants, Falcons and Titans. However, we have run fewer times than any of those teams.

Looks like carpanfan96 beat me to it. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
