Gamble played unbelievably this year, but I think J.A. really stepped up with Davis and Beason absent. The dude broke Beasons franchise season tackle record.

I don't think this guy should be MVP, but an underrated guy on this defense who I think had a great year and will just get better is Andre Neblett.

Just some numbers:

When..

Neblett started: other team averaged 93 yds rushing/gm and 20 pts/gm. We were 3-1.

Neblett played: other team averaged 116 yds rushing/gm and 24 pts/gm. We were 6-6.

Neblett didn't play: other team averaged 175 yds rushing/gm and 35 pts/gm. We were 0-4.

Gamble's role was pivotal in how offenses called plays. While Anderson had a fuggin monster year, and it is very close, Gamble gets the nod. Both had to step up and be leaders, both had teammates making it more difficult to do their jobs, and while one could argue that Anderson had to do more stepping up, you could argue that Gamble does this year in and year out (with few exceptions) without ever really getting recognized.

Who were opposing coordinators spotting on our team and saying "Yeah, you dont want to go there, Gamble/Anderson is gonna be there."??? I would have to say they were looking at Gamble.

"You have to become a terrible thought. . you have to become AN IDEAAA!" THAT was Gamble this year.

oh and Gamble's older too so you tend to wanna give it to the guy that may not be around as long.

I'd have to give the nod to Gamble. He was consistently (until the end of the year for some damn reason) matched up against the best the other side had to offer and, more often than not, he came out on top.

Anderson had a monster year, no doubt, but we're talking about MVP? Gamble.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
