The best single season offensive performance in Panthers history was...

Sorry to disappoint but my favorite year was 1996. No one, and I mean NO ONE, expected the Panthers to make it as far as we did in the playoffs. It was entire team play totally from the heart like I haven't seen since. Every game at the stadium you felt like you were personally involved with every player, with every play. There was no glitz, there were no super stars, Sir Purr was not fat & fluffy, it was all new, we were one year removed from playing at Death Valley. Our 1st year at the stadium and you're making new friends all around you.

We had a 12-4 regular record and went on to beat the snot out of the vaulted Cowgirls in the playoffs for the first time.

It was all magic. :aureola:

A. Steve Beuerlein, 1999

B. Stephen Davis, 2003

C. Muhsin Muhammad, 2004

D. Steve Smith, 2005

E. DeAngelo Williams, 2008

Discuss. I know if we had a poll this would get the fewest votes, but I choose A.

Beuerlein, I totally agree. Dude got pummeled all season long, kept getting up, completing passes and never gave up. Kept a dismal season interesting.

In 1999, the following all had amazing years....Muhammad, Jeffers, Walls, Biakabutuka....Beuerlein was the common thread for all of them. And he was gutty (see the win at Lambeau)

Running a west coast offense though. That always downgrades stats a little in my mind (a very stat friendly system for both QBs and receivers).

I think most have said Smith's triple crown year, especially impressive with no real complement to take pressure off. I'd likely have to throw my vote there too.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
