Luke Kuechly will not be getting any votes for Defensive MVP this season.

No more Sunday Night intro videos with Carrie Underwood either.

MVP, OPOY, and DPOY all essentially require playing on a good team. We aren't a good team. Not even close to it. Luke is still going to put up gaudy personal stats, but we aren't going to have any players in consideration for personal awards.

Only tackles in the backfield(like sacks) should count. Those falling on the pile after 1st down conversions are nonsense.

This is idiotic.

Tackles in the backfield do count differently, they're tackles for loss. Sacks do count differently, they're sacks. Tackles absolutely should count and absolutely matter. If no tackle occurred virtually every play would go for a TD.

A good OL is the most critical group to successful football.   If your OL can run block and pass block, you keep your offense on the field and the opposing offense off the field.  You win TOP and tire the defense.

 

BUT, if you have one or two defensive linemen who can consistently win their space and blow up the opposing OL, you've got something really powerful in just a couple of players.  Hardy is one of those guys.

Yea, and if I don't breathe I will die. Tackles are necessary part of the game. If tackles count, running should count as well. I'm not talking running with the football just running. I want to know who runs the most every time the ball snaps. Running is as necessary as tackles.

This is actually tracked in soccer.

Sorry to bust your idiot stat tracking bubble.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
