Is Denzel Perryman the Carolina Panthers’ most underrated player?

[NAS]

If he can stay healthy, yes.

I agree.  We're really thin here too.

Hes a helluva upgrade over Whitehead and Carter, although Carter is a good back/rotational guy.

Kind of hard to be great when the shadows of Luke are still on the field.  We were spoiled for 8 years with an amazing linebacker.  

No matter how well he does everyone is going to wish Luke was still there.

Perryman does quality as a pretty significant upgrade at a position that was a point of need for us.

 

Jermaine Carter did a respectable enough job at middle linebacker once Tahir Whitehead was finally benched last season. That said, Perryman has a far more impressive resume, notably his skills around the ball.

 

Perryman is a quality linebacker who should definitively improve our young defense that needs a little more experience.

Perryman's biggest issue is health. If he can stay healthy, I think he can become a guy we keep around and plays well for us.

Greg Little.

I wish he was, I hope he can prove his worth this year we are down bad at LT.

I hope by mid-season, everyone is saying Darnold was our most underrated player.

Yeah, that would be excellent.

It's Haason Reddick by a landslide. We have a guy on the roster who had 12.5 sacks last season - literally the 4th most sacks in the NFL last season - and virtually no one is talking about him. Wild.

Most of his sacks were in one game. I don’t know how consistently he performed the rest of the season.

Well, we are about to get an up close look at how consistently he performs in a few months.

This is the first time in quiet a while, that I need to see live/real snaps before anything. Huge unknown with QB, OL, TE, backup DL, LB, CB, DB, and ST. Just pure guessing.

True he wasn't ultra consistent. If he was, we would have had to pay more.  That said ... He didn't start until week 6, had 7 games with at least 1 sack (5 as a starter), 3 games with forced fumbles, and 16 qb hits.  So he was getting to the QB more than just one game.

That's a big if. And he will be 29 by the end of the season.
