Jon Beason

Thomas Davis

Luke Kuechly

Sam Mills

Dan Morgan

 

All either made the Pro Bowl or should have in TD's case. Assume they're 100% healthy and playing at their prime Panthers level.

In their primes?

Greene

Mills

Kuechly / Beason

Davis

Morgan

Ranked on their performance while they were here.  Injuries excluded.  Or else Morgan, Davis and Beason would be bottom three.

 

Luke Kuechly

 

- Really nothing much to say here.  NFL DPOTY...

 

Thomas Davis

 

- Fierce and fast.  Incredible cover linebacker, and nasty instincts.  Took a bit to develop, but when he did...BOOM.

 

Dan Morgan

 

-  Until Thomas Davis emerged as a stud and Kuechly gained DPOTY, Morgan was easily the best Mike backer in team history.  When healthy (ya ya) he was the best linebacker on the field.  Great in coverage and stout against the run.  C'mon, SB 38...

 

Kevin Greene

 

-  One of the all-time great pass rushers, but only here for a flash.

 

Sam Mills

 

- Meant more in the locker room, but he was a pivotal part of the team without a doubt.  He basically had a hand....so to speak in our first win.

 

Jon Beason

 

-  Had the makings to be the best Panthers linebacker, but his size really hurt him.  Still an excellent linebacker, just not elite like we had all hoped.

 

Lamar Lathon

 

-  Good player, benefited from having Kevin Greene and Sam Mills around him.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
