Cam Newton is going to do something this season that no quarterback in the history of the franchise has ever done

[Happy Panther]

 

 

(1) The Panthers have good receivers, finally. Steve Smith is complemented by bigass redzone threat and seam-raper Greg Olsen, sneaky possession receiver Donald Lafell, and essential deep threat Ted Ginn Jr. (who might be leading that group in yards right now if not for two deep home run drops in two games [he had an 80-yarder in his hands against the Bucs a few weeks ago.])

debatable point i admit, but compared to what we've had in years past we're looking pretty good.

Donald?

[PhillyB]

Donald?

 

you will call him donald and you will like it.

I agree. We have a solid core

Hope Smitty can have a couple of big games to push him over the 1000 yard mark.

 

This. He only needs maybe one or two 100 yd games to be really close.

Well, the problem is that Olsen is still basically our #2 receiver. We've done a good job with what we have, but it's far from complete.

Donald?

Running gag based on an announcer mistake.

This may be the best receiving corp the Panthers have ever had, and I say that without any sarcasm.  That still doesn't put them anywhere in terms of the greatest receiving corps of all time for the entire NFL, but the Panthers have had pedestrian receiving corps more times that not.

 

Smitty & Moose obviously were by far the best 1-2 punch the Panthers have ever had (and top 10/ borderline top 5) the years they were together.  One of the greatest shames in franchise history we never got to see them together longer.

 

The Panthers receiving corp this year might even be top 10 with injuries/ bad QB play.  Look around the league.  Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, Chicago, and Detroit are better.  Panthers are as good as anyone outside of that.  Add Green Bay to the list when Rodgers comes back.

 

O-Line and the secondary are still 2 areas that can derail our season come playoff time, and IMO those are going to be the biggest concerns for next year.

Over Smitty, Moose and Proehl in 03? Can't buy into that.

Heck in 99 we had Moose and Patrick Jeffers tearing it up.

More evidence on Shula's play calling.

I also think the overall run/pass ratio is very close.

All due respect, Mr Scot, wasnt Smitty drafted in 2001?

No. I went back in time and changed history :blink:

(I'll fix it) :(

I wasnt trying to argue with the historian, the voice of reason if you will, my memory is a little cloudy most days....
