Luvu snubbed?

dude is an unknown (league-wide) stud.

can't wait to see him as well as Chinn in his new role(s).

It's a mild slight but if he does it this season I think that changes quite a bit.

[Khyber53]

Well, he'll just have to do it again, or better. 

But let's face it, we're a small market team that had a dead man walking as a head coach, then an interim head coach and what had been a mushy soft defense for a couple of years. No one was really looking at our defensive players at all. 

Hopefully this will be a sit up and take notice year for the NFL when it comes to our defense. We need, desperately, to regain the strength and reputation that we've had in the past. And there's only one way to do it and that's with INTs, sacks and giving busted lips and black eyes to our opponents. 

We, as a team, need to play the whole season like the first hit Thomas Davis would put on Jimmy Graham every time we'd play the Saints. He'd just knock the dogwater out of him and Graham would play scared the rest of the game. You could see him flinch every time Davis would make a quick move in his direction.

We've got to be like that every game this season.

Whew.... I didn't even know he did all that!! I keep forgetting about other pieces we added like Vonn Bell and Rowe too!! We have playmakers from front to back now and I think Luvu could very well cause havoc along with Chinn(moving closer  to the line) and others!! All that said to say, yes he got snubbed by looking at the other guys stats.

Not a single vote is inexcusable.  The Pro Bowl is supposed to be the "popularity contest" compared to the All-Pro selections which are supposed to be more reputable and merit-based and exempt from factors like market size.  So this is pretty disappointing...but hey the silver lining is that pragmatically speaking, these things can theoretically help keep his price tag lower for an extension lol.

Plus he plays for us

(you don't necessarily get a lot of attention that way)

Here is hoping that is about to change.  Won't turn around in 1 year but for the 1st time ever, this team needs to have a winning season, then another and another.  While were are at it....take over the NFC South.

Yep. It'd be nice for the winning seasons to not be so...occasional

Was an upstart player on a bad team, it’s understandable. If we do well and he maintains his level of play he’ll get some attention for sure.

While missing 3 games

It's understandable when it comes to Pro Bowl voting.  But the AP All-Pro voting is supposed to be above all that bad team/small market noise.

Not gonna lie, he was my favorite panther last year. He provided spark on an incredibly dull and flawed team.

[Captain Morgan]

I remember the snub.  I didn't remember he didn't get a single vote.  That sucks.

Prove it Frankie!  With a full season with our coaching staff, you can have a season they can't ignore.
