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)

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
