Recommended Posts

DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008)

Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003)

Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019)

Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024)

Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)

 

DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height.

That year he averaged 94 yards a game.

Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards.

Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP.

Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far.

In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards.

In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day. 

 

Top 5 yards per carry.

Dowdle 5:6 (2025)

Williams: 5.5 (2008)

Stewart: 5.1 (2009)

Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019)

Hubbard: 4.7 (2024)

If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.

And what's interesting is Dowdle and this rushing attack is doing it without much of a passing game to assist.  Delhomme wasn't a great QB by any means, but he did put up 3k passing yard seasons.  You know you have a great O-line and runner when that is your only option, and still put up historic numbers.

I agree with your overall point but given our QB situation for the last near decade... and I suppose it depends what you mean by great, but Delhomme was a pretty damn good QB for a few years, and in a time when passing was much more difficult. Part of that was the crazy Smitty chemistry, but he also just had that knack for finding something out of seemingly nothing.

Anyway I do agree with how impressive what Dowdle is doing is!

Jake wasn't even the "hold my beer I got this" guy. He always struck me as the guy that drained his whiskey glass and said "Hey yall, watch this."

The sad part is Williams led the league in rushing tds as well with like 18 and didn't even make the pro bowl that season. 

Too bad it all ended in Jake's epic collapse

Hurney and Fox should have been looking for Jake's replacement after the 2007 season.

2008 we possibly win the Superbowl had we had better play at Qb.

Brad Hoover against us. That’s all I have to say lol. 

I was too young to stay up late enough to watch the whole game so my mom recorded it on vhs which I watched over and over. Iconic game including the fan who got KO’d by Ahmad Green.

I don’t remember the Ahmad Green story. What happened there?

Favre got picked off by Carolina and a fan ran on the field mid play and ran directly between the panther db (Eric Davis I think) and Ahman green who was trying to make the tackle. Green plowed right into the fan.

And this is without Robert Hunt and an abysmal passing attack. Truly insane.

I am sorry but I think Hunt is overrated. Seen him get pushed around. No one that makes that kind of money should be getting pushed around. 
Not saying he is not good, saying he isn’t playing up to his contract. Or wasn’t when healthy. I guess we paid the suck tax to him.

I don’t want him gone or anything and it would for sure be better if he were healthy and contributing, just saying.

Here it is! Ahh the days of Dennis miller  

 

That’s funny. Especially that guys face as they are ‘escorting’ him off the field. 
I didn’t think Miller was really that horrible on MNF but have seen some YouTube clips recently and he was a product of his time for sure. Too acerbic for me, in places.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
