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)

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
