Is this the most talented* Panthers team ever?

[micnificent28]

I mean you can pick and choose spots in time where we had more talent at any position(outside qb) where we had a more talented player, but I’m talking overall. Even then, the current talent makes the it competitive vs the all-time guys so I think this team rounds out as maybe the most talented.

This team is better than any team with fuging Terry Cousin and Todd Stuessie. WR are one of the best groups since Moose left the first time. Best QB, best RB, goddamn Moton might be the best T(looking at you Gross) 

I was with you til you said moton might be better than gross... Gross manned the left side for a decade since day one. I have all the love in the world for that guy.

Let's put it this way, an autographed football from THIS roster will be worth more than any previous roster. The number of probowls and future HOF guys is impressive. For them to all be on the same team at the same time!?!

Where is the marketing department on this one? Imagine the ticket sales if the unicorn #89 dawned the jersey once more...

As a day one fan I know the Panthers best roster when I see it.

It’s an interesting discussion and a valid one. We’ll know by the end of the season. This offense has the potential to be our best ever.

2013 team, if you count both offense & defense,

offense - steve smith, deanjelo, jstew, toldozer (not the super bowl one), olsen, lafell, ted ginn

 defense had a charles johnson & greg hardy, even the backup DEs were nasty mario, wes, frank .... along with kuechly, davis,

also that team did not have shockey he only played once for the panthers 2011

IMO the 2003 team was more talented. If Smith and Moose were both on this Team in their 2003 form, they would start over any of our current receivers. Davis might start over CMC although CMC would play a lot. 2018 has a better QB and TE.  But the 2003 offense had more top to bottom talent. 2003 defense was better as well

[Car123]

Our defense stinks. 2005, 2008, 2013, 2015 were better teams.

03 is the best panthers team ever and it's not close.

Lafell was a strength? If i had to put him against the current wrs we have he is below Wright. I think Funchess is better than Lefell.

Steussie was the LT in 2003, and was good for 6 or 7 personal fouls a game.

Gross actually switched a couple of times in his career. He played RT in 2005 iirc, LT in 2004. After that he was a LT the rest of his time in Carolina.

2003 was better at every position group except QB and maybe LB. Though Witherspoon is what we thought Shaq would be, and Morgan was a tackling machine. Davis and Foster were monsters in the backfield. Smitty, Muhammad and Proehl was and still is the best receiving corp this team has ever had.
