My take:

I think Burns has a legitimate chance to be DPOY. 

Rhule could win coach of the year if he makes the playoffs and resurrects Darnold's career.

Darnold or CMC could win comeback player of the year

Dak and CMC are the top candidates for CPOY.

Burns could put up 20+ says with help from Reddick and others.

OROY will be Najee Harris.

Agree with Parsons being DROY.

TJ Watt isn't even going to play any time soon. It's gonna get ugly with those negotiations.

 

I know people have hard ons for rookie QBs in the OROY voting but no chance Mac Jones wins it.

Sure looking that way.

Currently imagining the Panthers having both the OPOY and DPOY and I'm trying really hard to temper my expectations.

Burns has to put up video game numbers, honestly. He just hasn't gotten the national rep yet, even if he may be worthy.

Lol if he does this, Wilson will be seeing him in his sleep.

I am down. I'd love to see him prove he is an elite pass rushers. Advanced stats show he is but the sacks aren't there yet. That is what gets disproportionately represented in the media hype.

Yeah, he will. And I'm going to point out I suggested we take him in the draft with our first pick.

Of all the rookie QBs, he's leaving a pro program and going right into the best place a rookie QB could hope to ever land in the first round. I really wish we'd have gone that way instead.
