Hunt added to Pro Bowl

One of the Panthers’ best players will go to his first Pro Bowl after an impressive first season in Carolina.

Robert Hunt -- the team’s right guard -- was originally an alternate after missing the initial Pro Bowl roster, but with North Carolina-native Landon Dickerson going to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, Hunt is stepping in as his replacement.

In 16 games this season, Hunt gave up only 2.5 sacks and was called for holding just one time. He was perhaps Carolina’s most consistent offensive lineman all season long, and brought a personality and sense of leadership that radiated throughout the locker room.

The Panthers signed the 28-year-old to a massive five-year, $100 million contract this past offseason, and one year into the deal, it seems to have already paid dividends for Carolina.

With Panthers guard Robert Hunt added to the Pro Bowl Games today, it marks the first time since 2021 the Panthers have had two Pro Bowlers. 

(I mean, unless you count that year when Christian McCaffrey spent the second half of the year in SF.)

Great signing, I dare say given the lack of hits in FA, this one already is close to the best in history....

 

Just to add Damien Lewis deserves the Pro Bowl as well. He either played just as good or better plus he was playing with severe elbow injury most of the year. He could have stopped at any any point, old school tough men still exist......

Another great signing too, even with me not agreeing to spend space at OG.....

I'm one of them and still stand by what I said. Draft guards, pay tackles. IOL is one of the easiest positions to fill in the 2nd,3rd and 4th rounds. 

 Me too, but both played great. 

Honestly around the league teams have been stepping up to pay OGs. Jags started part of when they made Norwell the highest paid OG. They get more money than C, TE, RB, LB, NB, and S.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
