Three Panthers make the "All Underrated" team.

[cardiackat88.]

Wow, some respect! 

If I counted correctly, only one other team had as many, the Ravens.

"Defensive end: Charles Johnson, Carolina Panthers
Johnson has 52.5 sacks over the last five seasons -- and yet, he hasn't made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team. That's baffling, especially when you remember he pre-dates Luke Kuechly and pretty much every notable defender in Carolina outside of Thomas Davis."

 

"Defensive tackle: Kawann Short, Carolina Panthers
Star Lotulelei was supposed to be the stud on the interior of the Panthers' defensive line, but fellow 2013 draftee Short has arguably been more effective. Opposing blocking schemes might have something to do with this. Still, there can be no question that Short has been a force inside in Carolina's rotation. Entering Year 3, he should only get better."

"Kicker: Graham Gano, Carolina Panthers
Gano has been a solid kicker in the NFL for a couple of years now. The problem is, the Panthers' offense doesn't provide him the opportunity to put up the big point totals that other, better-known kickers do. While last year wasn't his best in terms of field-goal percentage (82.9), he was outstanding in 2013 (88.9) -- and in both seasons, Gano led ALL kickers in average kickoff distance."

And yet the left off Thomas Davis...

[KendrickPanther]

I really hope Star can raise his game. He was below expectations last year. 

[panthers55]

And yet the left off Thomas Davis...

No they didn't. He isn't underrated anymore. He is man of the year. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

No they didn't. He isn't underrated anymore. He is man of the year. 

I think on the field recognition is what many will claim. That said I think he gets recognition but seems to be just shy of the pro bowl recognition most folks covet for him. I think he gets his props and is well respected though.

Maybe last offseason Gano was underrated, but he poo'd the bed last year.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

And yet the left off Thomas Davis...

TD has gotten a lot of recognition over the past 2 seasons.

​He really didn't. Was mediocre in FG% but it was because he went 1-3 from 50+ and 9-12 from 40-49. 

[Pantera_Negro_Mateo]

And yet the left off Thomas Davis...

​He's gotten a lot more recognition as of late. Now-a-days you don't often hear about just Luke, but instead Luke and Thomas.

[KendrickPanther]

I wouldn't say that. He really started to tear it up towards the end of the season before he got injured. In addition, when Hardy got suspended, Star barely got any one-on-one match ups.

​He did look better right before the foot injury. But our defensive line got abused for the first half of the year and he's one of the guys we need to stand ground.

​Can you call Charles underrated when he's like the 3rd highest cap number in the league?

​Underrated shouldn't necessarily mean underpaid.

[Cheek]

I would say TD is underrated just based on the fact that his Pro Bowl is way past due. Snubbed last 2 years imo. But I can understand why he didn't make this list with the amount of exposure he's been getting. 

[nctarheel0619]

I don't think you can call someone that's making 20 mill per year underrated.
