Ain’t no chance in hell C-Mac belongs on this list. And I’m indifferent to him faking injuries to get traded, I would’ve done the same thing in this sh*t organization. 

I don't think he faked any injuries. He is juat injury prone due to overtraining and general makeup.

There is no conspiracy here.

Four Panthers selected. Jared Allen, while only here for a single season before retiring, really helped us get to the Super Bowl in 2015.

I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 

My feeling is they had to make it relatable for generations that came after the gen -x’ers. Can’t have too many old heads on the list. 

NOBODY wanted ANYTHING of AD or LT. Brees. If teams kept prime Brees from 3 or fewer TDs and less than 275 yards, in the dome, then Brees had a bad night and would make up for it the next game. Best field surgeon I’ve ever seen. Brady had the damn shining, but Brees was something else.

Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.

Ok

LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else

to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise

The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't. 

I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends. 

The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
