Six Panthers named First Team AP All Pro


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

This needs to be discussed in detail:

Cam says he's just trying to be like Luke because Captain America sets the tone.

 

how much truth is there to this? 

And

How stupid freaking lucky are we to have CamVP and the hands down best MLB in the game?  

The magnitude of haveing two talents like that in the league at the same time is astronomical but they're on the same damn team!  Nuts!

Excerpt:

Linebacker Luke Kuechlyicon-article-link.gif and center Ryan Kalilicon-article-link.gif were honored for the third time. Kuechly has been on the first-team for three consecutive years. Kalil was on the first-team in 2013 and second-team in 2011.

It’s the second first-team All-Pro honor for fullback Mike Tolberticon-article-link.gif, who earned the honor in 2013.

Quarterback Cam Newtonicon-article-link.gif, cornerback Josh Normanicon-article-link.gif and linebacker Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif were selected to the first-team. Defensive tackle Kawann Shorticon-article-link.gif was named to the second-team. It's the first time those four players have received All-Pro honors.

QB CAM NEWTON (1st team)

ALL-PRO STATS: Completed 296-of-495 passes (59.8 percent) for 3,837 yards with 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Rushed 132 times for 636 yards and 10 touchdowns.

ALL-PRO MOMENT: Leading the offense on two 80-yard touchdown drives in the final eight minutes – including one in the final two minutes – to rally Carolina to a 27-23 victory at Seattle in Week 6.

It would be interesting to know how many votes Cam got.  Luke led Panthers with 49 out of 50, but that's the only Panthers player for which a vote total is announced.  I'm guessing that since Cam as All-Pro was not unanimous, his vote for MVP won't be either.

Here's a list of all the players named as 1st team All-Pro for the 1st time:

Newcomers to the team along with Mack and Lockett are Newton, Norman and Davis among the Panthers, plus Jones, Whitworth, Martin, DeCastro, Donald and Matthieu.

Suprises that Tolbert got all pro

First, there is less competition at FB. Second, check out the TD at the link below. The man is a beast! breaks 3 tackles and it takes 3 more defenders to bring him down. I love this guy.

I'm almost stunned that TD made it, considering 4-3 OLB's rarely do with all of the 3-4 guys.  Very impressive, so again... fug yeah TD!!

Winning the WPMOTY award last year really turned many blind eyes his way.  Long overdue respect

Actually, this is Cam's 1st time as All-Pro.  He seems very excited about it.  "Gotta keep up with Luke" he said

Thanks.

But I wasn't saying Cam ever made All Pro.

I was only indicating that Cam, Kalil and Luke are used to getting recognition and accolades, while Davis, Norman and Tolbert to a lesser degree do not.

Most of the noise coming from players the past few weeks regarding Norman was not good. And quite frankly, he did get roasted a couple of times vs Beckham and Julio Jones. So his second half of the season, was not as good IMO.

In other words: Look where Norman and Davis has come from regarding recognition 3-4 (for Norman), and 8 years ago-for Davis.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
