The final week of the regular season, especially for a team not making the playoffs, is a time of reflection.

For the Carolina Panthers (4-12), there wasn’t a ton to celebrate in 2024. But the team did double its win total from 2023 before Christmas, and the future does seem somewhat bright for head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan and their respective crews.

However, with the season about to wrap up, The Observer went around the Panthers’ locker room to get its perspective on the team’s performance this year.

The Observer polled 64 players over the past two weeks to get their votes for the offensive, defensive and special teams MVPs of 2024.

As with last year’s Processing Blue awards, players had to be on the 53-man roster, practice squad and/or injured reserve for at least four weeks this season to receive a vote. The players couldn’t vote for themselves, and they only had one vote for each of the three categories.

Panthers offensive MVP

  • Winner: RB Chuba Hubbard (44 votes)
  • Runner-up: QB Bryce young (15 votes)
  • Staff picks: Hubbard (Fowler), Hubbard (Kaye), Hubbard (Zietlow)

Panthers defensive MVP

  • Winner: CB Jaycee Horn (27 votes)
  • Runner-up: LB Josey Jewell (17 votes)
  • Staff choices: Jewell (Fowler), Horn (Kaye), Horn (Zietlow) 

Panthers special teams MVP

  • Winner: TE Feleipe Franks (31 votes)
  • Runner-up: DB Lonnie Johnson (11 votes)
  • Staff picks: Pineiro (Fowler), Rhattigan (Kaye), Franks (Zietlow)

Giving this team an MVP award is like handing out participation awards after a tee ball game

Yeah it's kinda pointless but a couple of them need a pat on the back for not giving up halfway through the season. Other than that it's just a participation trophy.

O MVP

1.  Hubbard

2.  The OL

3.  AT

D MVP

1.  Jewell

2. Horn

I really don't think there is a D MVP.  I think Jewell just deserves some praise though for sort of standing out. 

ST MVP

Abstain. 

*new award

Bryce Young - he climbed out of the pits of hell that no one thought possible.  Still not impressive QB play but he climb out of that was impressive.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
