Those were Thunder and Lightning refers to the dynamic running back duo of DeAngelo Williams (Thunder) and Jonathan Stewart (Lightning) who played for the Carolina Panthers. This nickname highlighted their contrasting playing styles: the yester days of Thunder and Lightning!! 

Lets hope they are as good!!!!

Chuba had just shy of 1200 rushing yards and we were still 30th in passing yards per game. The opposing defense has to fear your passer for this to come to fruition.

Yeah, we flat out need more out of Bryce and the receivers, period. The "new and improved" Bryce post-benching needs to be his new floor not the ceiling. Chuba did his part last year. Granted we had no depth behind him to help carry the load. That didn't help.

Well two things wrong here

First, they weren't Thunder and Lightning, they were Double Trouble.

And second, if they were Thunder and Lightning, Stew would absolutely have been the Thunder as he was a much more physical runner than Deangelo was.

Chuba also missed two games. The single season rushing leader in franchise history is DeAngelo Williams with 1,515 yards. Stephen Davis is second with 1,444 yards. And if Chuba had played those other two games he could have made a push for Davis's record no doubt. For all the talk of lack of weapons that's a pretty damn productive season.

Yeah, "Thunder and Lightning" were the duo for the Titans. White and Johnson maybe?

I expect 1000 from Chuba and 800 from Dowdle. Gonna be a fun year if everyone on offense stays healthy 

If that’s the case then we wasted a pick on Etienne. Personally, I’d like 700, 600, and 400 yards from three guys because everyone will be fresh in February.

Five touchdowns, 40 points and 35 points against teams fighting for a playoff bid is the floor? So you’re thinking Tom Brady levels of efficiency? 
 

Reasonable…

No, White suggested they would be a tandem with a nickname like that and Johnson shut him down. Wasn't interested in sharing the spotlight in the backfield. I remember it because it was awkward af to watch play out.

Post benching, Bryce averaged 2104 yards with 15 TDs and 6 INTs. Over 10 games that means he averaged 210ypg. Extrapolate those numbers to 17 games and that 3577 yards with 26 TDs and 10 INTs. That would've put Bryce #22 in the NFL in passing yardage, 10th in TDs, 17th in INTs. Basically middle of the pack. Yeah, for a #1 overall pick and hopefully franchise QB that needs to be floor type play, especially given our investments in the OL and receiver corps. We've built it, it's time for him to deliver.

No. Bryce playing with confidence and actually getting it done as an NFL starting QB over an entire season is what we need. Teams are going to have more footage on him too post benching, so hopefully he responds well to the new things being thrown at him. It's just about new contract time after this season. Middle of the road performance is the thing we need least from him.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
