Bob,

Who was our starting running back in that 2005 NFC championship game and how did he do ? How did Jake do against NY in NY and Chicago in Chicago. What was his QB rating in those games?

Foster was out and Peppers got hurt in Chicago and I'm not sure if he played in Seattle.

GO PANTHERS...............

:rolleyes: Don't mention the road victory the first week of the 2005 playoffs against the Giants (23-0) or the game the week before the Hawks in Chicago. Jake goes 24/33 for 319 and 3 TDs.

By the time the Panthers got to Seattle they were so banged up Jamie Robertson was our running back. The Panthers were completely outschemed by the Hawks with triples most of the time on Smitty as the Panthers had no weapons left. Cracks me up Panther fans would go all the way to the '05 playoffs looking to discredit Delhomme. :frown2:

By outschemed you mean our qb has trouble reading defenses and when that happen just throws the ball to Smitty even if he's doubled or triple covered.

    • Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true. 
    • Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.   
    • I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
