Gabbert only played 3 games last year.

Ponder completed 64% of his passes, which is 7% better than Eli, & he had a much better TD-t/o ratio.

I'll give you Geno, he sucked.

Point remains, Steve played with a Pro Bowler last year & Hakeem played with one of the absolute worst QBs in the league. And their production was very similar.

Only an idiot would rather have Smith going forward. It has nothing to do with Steve's past. Him being the greatest panther isn't gonna win games going forward.

A big, physical 26yo with elite WR skills would.

Well I guess I am an idiot with company.

Rivera and Gman are going to move SS89 to the slot..  I feel it in my gut...  they are going to evaluate and come to the conclusion that we have all known for the last two years,  that 89 is no longer a legit #1 WR.                        

This off-season will revolve around finding a legit #1 WR and building a solid Oline.            So..... Nicks and it's not even close.    Nicks or any other #1 WR.

How hard must it be for a qb to try and hit a short wr that can no longer get open?

 

 

Also,  would give anything if we could get a time machine and pluck 24 yr old SS89 out of the past and bring him to the present for Cam.

Could he not get open or did Cam overthrow him?...hmmm

Funny because I've actually pondered this very scenario. (Losing Smith and signing Nicks that is) & I've been on the bring Nicks home train since watching him back in 2011, tbh. But even w/ that being said there is no way in hell I would be happy w/ losing Smith in order to get him. Ecsp after the last 2 questionable seasons he's had. Don't get me wrong having him here would be amazing because i believe all he needs is a change if scenery to get back on track. But I think Smith would play a big prt in tht. He says he grew up watching & admiring Smith & idet HE would say he's the better wr.

 

 

youre doing it wrong, youre suppose to close your mind and poo all over the question. i felt as another poster, smitty for this year but future nicks.......but after a few days, future is now. the smitty love is too much for some to consider nicks.

most of this post didn't even make sense to me but the prt I did make out & actually agreed w/ was the prt tht said "Smitty for now & Hakeem for the future". That is 100% what I think the plan should be. Hakeem comes & plays along side him for a yr & then takes over for the future. But I have no reason to believe nicks is ready to be #1 RIGHT AWAY.

i presuppose a question and got a huddle welcome, hence they poo on the question during the first 20 some posting. fraud batman is try-hard troll.  its a tough question, smitty or a younger #1/2 like WR? in a sense its not, the answer is almost always younger, but nicks didnt catch that x clown against st louis in 2003 etc etc.

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
