Better offense: 1999 or 2008?

[Matt Foley]

1999

QB: Beuerlein

RB: Lane

RB: Biakabutuka

WR: Muhammad

WR: Jeffers

TE: Walls

2008

QB: Delhomme

RB: Williams

RB: Stewart

WR: Smith

WR: Muhammad

TE: King/Rosario

I say 99 myself. What say thee?

[Fox007]

QB: 1999

RB: 2008

RB: 2008

WR:2008

WR 2008

TE: 1999

Take those players from those years today, and that's a SB.

Beuerlein knew how to throw to a TE, and spread the ball around, so overall that made the passing attack more deadly. If he had Smith there is no doubt he would have been way better.

Walls in his days for us was just as deadly as Smith IMO.(red zone over deep ball)

I like our Running backs now though.

Although the O-Line is just as important to an offense as anything, and you left that out.

Ill go with 2008 O-Line though.

i say 1999. i think that year our defense doomed us (idr i was only like 9)

2008 is a close 2nd

As good as Steve Smith is, the Panthers had two Smittys that year in Moose and Jeffers. Look up the stats. And Jeffers basically did it all in the second half of that season.

I don't know.

99 had a very average running game.

but 08 had a very average passing game.

considering I value rushing yards more than passing yards, I'll give the nod to 08.

[OneBadassCat]

08 but I'll take Steve over Jake any day. If we had him he would make all of our receiving threats look better.

Yea, but Smith suffers from having Jake throw him the ball.

[Matt Foley]

Jeffers was really coming into his own. Freaking astroturf.

[Fox007]

Panthers and Injuries are basically synonymous.

[bLACKpANTHER]

one made it to the playoffs with a 1st round bye...

the other didn't make the playoffs at all..

[Cyberjag]

Yeah, just look at how much better he was last year when Jake was out.

Going by scheme, 2008 (I'm not a WCO fan).

Position wise, other than TE I'd give all the advantages to 2008, with the possible codicil that 1999 Muhammad might have been better than 2008 Muhammad.

[Fox007]

Here we go again with this guy.........

You clearly are super homer 3000 or something.

Jake is a terrible QB, what do you think his BACKUPS are like?

Talking about having worse QB's than Jake throwing Smith the ball isn't gonna help your argument here.

Ill just leave it at that whilst I laugh at your assessment.

Oh but then again your the same guy who thinks Fox has done a terrific job, and can do no wrong. We clearly have the best QB situation in the league, what was I thinking.

[Fox007]

Plus I was responding to the Sea Monster, when he said Smitty is good, but we had two Smittys in 1999.

To which I said Jake is throwing the ball to Smitty( instead of Steve)

Which is true, if Steve B. played with Smitty, Smitty would be way better.

Jake doesn't have the skills to best use Smith, he leads him out of bounds, or throws the ball behind him and severely limits his YAC.

Instead he has to stiff arm the sh*t out of people or try to power past them.

Not to mention under throws or over throws him on every deep ball.

We have never had a super QB, then again we have only had one quality backup here. The trouble is that quality backup just so happens to be our starter.

Oh and, Steve B. never had the running game Jake has had.(1999 being real close though)(and look what Steve did with that above average run game)(as opposed to Jake with this years SUPER good run game)
