Panthers defensive MVP?

I'm going to go with Gamble on this one.

Originally I wanted to go with Anderson. The reason I picked Gamble over Anderson is the reason many of you picked Anderson.

Injuries. Anderson had more oppurtunities to shine with our Core LBrs taken out. Gamble was expected to do his job. In my eyes he went further than I thought he could by locking down some very talented recievers and cutting the field in half. Only if the rest of our secondary could cover half a field.

Martin...without him we'd have nothing to bi*ch about

did you forget about the horrific DT, LB, and S (both) play most of the year. Oh yeah, the weak #2 CB play as well?

we were horrible against the run b/c of our rookie DTs..they were only part of it. We were gashed on the outside b/c of horrible LB and S play.

I think even the guys who were out there would tell you they sorely missed Jon Beason.

Of the choices here, I'd go with Gamble.

Of course they would. I'm not denying that.

I'm just saying it's foolish to declare Beason as the defensive most valuable player when he didn't even play.

I hate the Manning for MVP argument for the same reason.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
