Edge to 89 only because 2005 also included another fantastic playoff performance (which isn't included in the graphic).   

In 3 postseason games that year 89 averaged 110+ receiving yards and had 5 total TDs.

second leading receiver on the 2005 team was deshaun foster. there was no one else. 

2019 panthers were a wreck but there were still options on the outside. plus steve's season mattered. for the last eight games panthers were just juicing cmc's numbers so we'd all have a reason to watch.

Raw numbers-wise its CMC, who just had one of the most dominant seasons EVER by a RB. If you consider how the team did, Smitty, though the "force fed" argument could be used against 89 that year, too. I remember so many of us complaining that we didn't have anyone else to throw it to.

CMC. Dude basically plays two positions for us as a great RB and a 1000 yard WR. Great years for both but I would take CMC there all day. Did you see our OL and QB play last year? CMC was literally working with nothing. At least Smith had Delhomme, Gross, Olddd Davis, Hoover and our D was better ran and had plenty of talent compared to what we all saw last year.

I can see the argument for both sides but recency bias and the fact that only 2 other players are apart of the 1k/1k club makes mean lean towards CMC (11 people have won the triple crown). Smith had a better supporting cast. CMC was the offense last year. 

So CMC by a hair, but I see the argument for Smith. That was a fun as hell year.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
