Unsung Hero Award: Ryan Kalil, Kalil has quietly become one of the best centers in the league. Even on a great offensive line that doesn't get much notoriety besides Jordan Gross, Kalil doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

Most Improved Award: Thomas Davis, Definitely the worst loss for the Panthers this season was when TD went out with his injury. Before he was injured, he was playing every bit as well as Beason does and probably would have been in the Pro Bowl discussion had he stayed healthy.

Rookie of the Year: Captain Munnerlyn, Captain was a huge surprise this year. Has a knack for finding the ball, good tackler, pretty good in coverage for a 7th round rookie. Captain Munnerlyn is surely the best 7th round pick in team history.

Coordinator of the Year: Ron Meeks, I had bashed Meeks for some very conservative looks earlier this season, but he started to take a few more chances as the defense got settled into the new system and BOY were they looking Super Bowl-worthy in the second half of the season.

Offensive MVP: Travelle Wharton, Unusual choice? Sure, but Moore wasn't in the lineup long enough, 89 was limited, and it's hard to pick between Williams and Stewart. So I went with the best offensive lineman still standing at the end of the year. The offensive line is collectively the best group on the team.

Team MVP: Jon Beason, Beason had a slower start this year than he did last, but that can be attributed to settling into the new Meeks system. Once repetition got drilled into his brain enough that things became second-nature again, he became that all-world linebacker that we all remembered from last year. Intensity, sure-fire tackling, solid coverage, great leadership...Beason is the total package. He's going to break a lot of team records one day.

Jon Beason, your 2009 Carolina Panthers MVP.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
