The 1st Annual Sam Mills Fan Awards!

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.

    • Yeah they are and I say that with a dear family friend thats a vet We recently went through a patch with a vet oncologist.  Talk about greedy...  They regularly leveraged the soft pressure of "Well I cant tell you what to do but I wouldnt spare any expense if it was my dog" when talking about a $10k radiation treatment for our beagle.
    • Yeah many NBA players are streaky now. We've had plenty of those here. For Kon it's too early to say but based on what I've seen and his interviews I think if he wants to be really good or great and to get to the highest level he will. Of course that's the story of many of our players over the years. The talent is there. The desire to be great wasn't. We'll see if these new rookie additions have that in them. Hopefully. But it is the Hornets after all. The skepticism is valid. As far as Gordon Hayward. I can say without a doubt that he never wanted to be good or great. He was one of the many newer generations of players that have the prerequisite talent and want the money and allure of being an athlete but do not care one way or another if they win or lose.
    • Not if just giving a bigger signing bonus but the same guaranteed number, as that’s still part of the guaranteed money that they can space out for future cap hits. Guaranteeing more money is what affects the cap space. The amount of a signing bonus is only about how big of a check the owner has to cut once it’s signed (at least I’m 99% sure that’s the case)
