Better offense: 1999 or 2008?

QB: 1999

RB: 2008

RB: 2008

WR:2008

WR 2008

TE: 1999

Take those players from those years today, and that's a SB.

Beuerlein knew how to throw to a TE, and spread the ball around, so overall that made the passing attack more deadly. If he had Smith there is no doubt he would have been way better.

Walls in his days for us was just as deadly as Smith IMO.(red zone over deep ball)

I like our Running backs now though.

Although the O-Line is just as important to an offense as anything, and you left that out.

Ill go with 2008 O-Line though.

As good as Steve Smith is, the Panthers had two Smittys that year in Moose and Jeffers. Look up the stats. And Jeffers basically did it all in the second half of that season.

Yea, but Smith suffers from having Jake throw him the ball.

1999

QB: Beuerlein

RB: Lane

RB: Biakabutuka

WR: Muhammad

WR: Jeffers

TE: Walls

2008

QB: Delhomme

RB: Williams

RB: Stewart

WR: Smith

WR: Muhammad

TE: King/Rosario

I say 99 myself. What say thee?

Going by scheme, 2008 (I'm not a WCO fan).

Position wise, other than TE I'd give all the advantages to 2008, with the possible codicil that 1999 Muhammad might have been better than 2008 Muhammad.

Yeah, just look at how much better he was last year when Jake was out.

Here we go again with this guy.........

You clearly are super homer 3000 or something.

Jake is a terrible QB, what do you think his BACKUPS are like?

Talking about having worse QB's than Jake throwing Smith the ball isn't gonna help your argument here.

Ill just leave it at that whilst I laugh at your assessment.

Oh but then again your the same guy who thinks Fox has done a terrific job, and can do no wrong. We clearly have the best QB situation in the league, what was I thinking.

Plus I was responding to the Sea Monster, when he said Smitty is good, but we had two Smittys in 1999.

To which I said Jake is throwing the ball to Smitty( instead of Steve)

Which is true, if Steve B. played with Smitty, Smitty would be way better.

Jake doesn't have the skills to best use Smith, he leads him out of bounds, or throws the ball behind him and severely limits his YAC.

Instead he has to stiff arm the sh*t out of people or try to power past them.

Not to mention under throws or over throws him on every deep ball.

We have never had a super QB, then again we have only had one quality backup here. The trouble is that quality backup just so happens to be our starter.

Oh and, Steve B. never had the running game Jake has had.(1999 being real close though)(and look what Steve did with that above average run game)(as opposed to Jake with this years SUPER good run game)

      Appreciate you, brother!  I know it was lengthy, but I felt whoever actually read it would appreciate it.

      Damn good take, brother.  I think I take that poo personally because (sidebar: I don’t like to use narcissist often because social media has made it a buzzword and diluted the meaning, so when I use it, I don’t take it lightly) I grew up in a home with a raging narcissist, then married a narcissist and just came out of a divorce after a 20 year marriage with her, where afterwards she met and married another narcissist.🤣  And in my dealings with them, over my 41 years on this earth, at times I took great delight in breaking down their arguments point by point and forcing them to either acknowledge their wrongs and take ownership of them or watch them yammer and stammer away when they ran out of lies and excuses.  At various points, that was extremely satisfying, but ultimately, which I’ve realized especially after the last 3 years and going through the divorce and everything, it does NOTHING to them.  It doesn’t affect them one way or another.  For a logical, reasonable, grounded person, you would think calling them in their poo will bring it to their attention when they’re face when nothing but facts and truth and force them to change, but nope.  Not in the slightest.  They just disassociate from the ones who do that and find more people who will validate their behaviors and thinking.  poo pisses me off because they’re so destructive and couldn’t care less so long as their needs are met.
