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.

      Aiden Fisher

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running.  This of course reminded me of Luke.  I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft   Thoughts?

      Brandon Beane vs Dan Morgan

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      There is no doubt that winning on the field is the ultimate goal.  But not far behind that is winning off the field / in the board room / at the bank. Beane has been meticulous in betting on Josh Allen being able to put on the cape and taking a band of misfits to the playoffs every year.  That drives tickets, merch, concessions, TV shares, etc.  Which all put money into the owner's pockets.  The coach only controls what's on the field, and even then, it's mostly out of his hands minus time management as he doesn't throw, catch, run or kick for those 60 minutes.  My guess is Beane has made that owner a poo ton of money through contracts (or lack there of), and staying the course financially when it's easy to overspend to get over the hump.  That's why he's still there and McDermott isn't.  My guess is they will hire a non-splash candidate that commands middle of the pack money for a head coach, and Beane will once again point out to ownership how he saved them $4-$6M with this hire, and they still have Superman on their team.  New England has a first place schedule next year, and that's likely good for 2 additional losses, which would give them the same record as the Bills had this year. I knew McDermott was gone if they didn't reach the Superbowl.

      The coaching carousel

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.
