Overall, the Panthers are...

Its funny that you would say that when marvin harrison is 37 to is 35 randy moss is 32 and steve smith is only 30

please try again but in a manner that can be comprehended.... in case you did not realize Marvin Harrison is now out of the league.

So, Kasay is counted in the 11 for Offense and Defense, or just for special teams?

Kasay is an outlier. One person can't pull up an "AVERAGE" that much. If you have 9 one year olds and one 10 year old, the average would be "1.9", closer to 1 than 10.

Kasay doesn't pull up the average all that much.

I'm still more focused more on the so-called stars on offense and defense, in the skill positions. Other than running back, and Tight End, the offense is pretty old, and Peppers could be sitting in a rocking chair on the sideline based on his NFL age.

Lets break it down. Here is what I consider old for each postion.

QB 35

WR 32

DE 32

DL 33

RB 31

MLB 32

CB 30

OL 34

TE 33

Sfty 32

Im being conservative Some players can go past these ages but to me when a player hits these ages they are on the downhill slide.

Don't throw out useful facts like that!

Go back to your hole!

Actually just rechecked mine are opening day starters.

21st oldest.

12th oldest.

You have to count from the bottom up.

Besides, the difference between 27.77 and 27.90 or even 29.09 is irrelevant.

Being old has to do with more than just age.

The point I'm making is that teams usually have a so-called "WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY" to win a championship, before they start slowing down.

The Panthers are losing steps left and right. Steve Smith still has the fire, but just like Allen Iverson, the little man has lost the mojo. On defense, Julius Peppers and Chris Gamble's times have passed.

The team needs to get a younger QB and some younger receivers in the offseason to reinvigorate Smith, and they need to replace Peppers and Gamble in order to breathe some life into the defense.

It's stale...because it's gotten old. The window has closed.

Who cares about a freaking roster?

THE ONES WHO PLAY AND CONTRIBUTE...have lost more than one step.

[Kurb]

Damn it people!

Stop flooding his thread with facts!

Jake can play til he is 50 because he is so great!!

[PantherFanForLife]

Like I said a couple of weeks back....over the next 2 years we will have to replace more than half the team if we are to stand a chance of remaining a top tier football club.

Fox.... start packing your bags.
