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)

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
