Offseason Topic: Most Under Appreciated Panther

Recommended Posts

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.

    • There is so much wrong with this post it's scary. First, as it's been explained to you, the Bills call was 100% correct, he never actually had control of the ball outside of literally less than a half second of time, you're stuck on super slow mo and still frames as your proof.   And second, the refs get almost zero replay assistance on the types of calls that make people say they are terrible at their jobs.  Replay assistance is for things like catches, in/out of bounds, fumbles, and ball placement.  Fans really don't care much about those things and if refs are right or wrong, because of the replay assistance (only comes into factor when it's too close to call so the original call stands) They don't get any assistance on the rest of the penalties that are always what fans get upset about and why people say refs are terrible.  Namely, things like holding and PI, both called and missed, which they get absolutely zero replay assistance for. It's those things I'm talking about where it's really tough for 7 refs to catch everything all the time.  They can only watch so many things at once, and that's if they even have a line of sight on the penalty, so many times the ref is watching the play but the player's bodies are between the ref and the penalty, particularly PI.
    • Slowik was who I wanted as our HC when we hired Canales.  He clearly had an idea of how to maximize Strouds talent. sophmore slumps happen, but he fell off a cliff this year and I believe it can be due to getting rid of him.
    • Trey has plenty of tape standing up surprisingly. Guys like him have the technique and IQ to play the position for awhile. Cincy definitely  did him wrong and I'd gladly accept  him.  He would allow us to continue developing  Princely etc too.  Take an MLB or olineman with 19 or trade back and add more picks.  I'd assume free agent rushers would welcome the fact we have good coverage.
