One thing is for sure, K. Short has had one of the best season's already for a DT in our franchises history.  Since the start of our franchise comparable seasons for DT's:

2015 Short 44 tackles 9 sacks

2007-Kemoeatu 46 tackles 0 sacks

2003-Jenkins 45 tackles 5 sacks

2002-Jenkins 44 tackles 7 sacks

Those stats vary from site to site I'm sure but I used the official site.  And those are complete seasons so Short will add some more tackles and sacks in the next 3 games to add to his lead.  So I think it's safe to say that he's had the best year for a DT for our team.

I agree and I was saying this to friends this week. However, I think point 2 is invalid simply because it literally goes both ways.

What I mean by that is that KK also benefits from Josh. If everyone is covered, then the QB holds onto the ball longer and thus KK gets the sack.

The point is valid both ways in a symbiotic way. But I agree. KK has been a consistent force to be reckoned with all year. That high level consistency is invaluable. Thus MVP.

Yeah this is the way our whole team performs. Every position feeds off the others. Norman wouldnt be as successful without Peanut, Coleman, KK, Star, Luke, TD, Shaq, Kony, and JA. Neither would any of them be performing as well without Norman or any of the rest.

Great reasons to love this "team." This is easily the most cohesive team we have ever had. 

Just wait till we get KB back and our ST finally gets on the same page cohesively.

if we have this same team with everyone healthy from start to finish, their is no-limit to how good these guys will be.

every game it seems like we have a different player step-up and make a game-changing play each and every week.

I think it's Star's week to come up big and for Shaq to do the same. Would be great if Finnegan and Tillman to be solid as well.

cant forget about Fozzy and CAP with their chances to make plays...and it will all come down to our OLine to make that happen.

What a group we have. Outstanding.

I do agree agree with this. Short has really masked the team's avg production from the ends. His push up the middle has caused many a poor throws and yet another guy a team has to game plan for. 

As Gettles once said: he values guys more that play closer to the line as they impact more plays per game. 

IMO extending Short is a more important signing than Josh Norman....but let us hope we have both for a while.

Star and Short are must-keeps considering their chemistry and talent together. 

It took us years to overcome allowing Rucker to walk. I don't want that happening again.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
