I'll take 1 each from our best years:

I always liked Deon Grant back there with Minter.  Don't remember the offseason moves back in those days as much, but we just kind of let him test the market after his rookie deal.  I was a fan.

And from 2015 I'd agree with Addison.  He was consistent and played his role well.  Good shout out.

Deon Grant is the second-best (excluding one year wonders) safety Carolina has ever had. That says more about Carolina's abysmal safety history than is does Deon, but he was a quality player in the league for many years.

What are you guys talking about about? Dude has been on the team for 2 years of a 3 year, $15M team-friendly contract at half the cost of Vonn Bell. You make it sound like he's been toiling in Carolina for years... dude hardly underappreciated by anyone that pays attention.

It's a thread about under appreciated players and you made the argument for him being under appreciated while disagreeing?

No, it's that he's not underappreciated at all, with a side of responding to the comment that made it sound like he's been here forever. Will be interesting to see what they do with him after this season.

Look around the league, no safety is safe. Look at the current FAs it feels half of them are safety. He's had alllll different DCs and HCs, but remained for the new staff at the cut point of his contract. The defense did struggle when he was missing. 

The point of the thread was to name a over looked/under-appreciated player. 

 

I said Sam Franklin was my current pick, but Woods is a good pick as well. He's a true FS and those are harder to find than SS in this passing league. I don't remember him giving up any big plays either. They had a huge communication problem before woods was signed, he was the driving force at fixing that.

They kept Woods that’s enough for me. I like Evero and Morgan and if they are in, I’m in. I trust them pretty much.

You know I just realized what a good spot we might be in with Morgan and Canales being tight. Morgan has that defensive mentality and can interface with the coordinator. Maybe better than Canales can. But is aligned with the offensive vision as well. I hate to be overly optimistic off of unproven stuff so let’s just call it an observation.

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
