As the title suggests, who is a player you feel had a big impact on the team but was under appreciated?

 

My nomination would be Mario Addison. 

- Was always the 3rd or 4th best player on the d-line (played with Hard, Peppers, Allen, Star, Short, Johnson)
- Played with motor, would generate pressure and get clean up sacks. 
- Ultra reliable 
- Played both DE and transitioned to OLB when Rivera changed to a 3-4 in 2019

Never a stay but a true testament of a core player you need on the team. 

Brother's death adds 'fuel to fire' for Panthers' Mario Addison - ESPN - NFL Nation- ESPN

Other considerations: 
- AJ Klein
- Dan Connor

1. Wharton

2. Gamble

3. Buckner

4. Delhomme

5.  Ginn Jr. - my most controversial, even if he dropped the ball, his role was centric to altering/impacting what a D could get away with vs those teams.

Good call on Warton.  He got moved around the OL and never missed a beat.

We all took shots at Gamble including me but in reality he was a quality starter for us for many years and worth the pick

I went back and watched a lot of the 2015 games on youtube and Kurt Coleman was a beast that season, and very underappreciated and forgotten in the annuls of Panther history

Currently, Shaq Thompson. All time Chris Gamble.

Shaq Thompson never had a chance to live up to expectations considering who he was following. 

I still think he has underperformed based on his draft position though. Overall solid player but first round LBs need to make pro bowls.

Beason might be one. 

Joke answer Eddie Piniero. 

Jeno James is my blast from the past name I haven’t heard in a while. 

 

As far as Shaq, we have been blessed to have some great linebackers over the years, the standards are really high. 

Speaking of, Will Witherspoon. I think he was about rightly appreciated though.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Latest "Guess the Panther"

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
