Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Winner: Luke Kuechly, Panthers.

Runner-up: Janoris Jenkins, Rams.

Honorable mention: Bobby Wagner, Seahawks; Lavonte David, Buccaneers; Casey Heyward, Packers; Harrison Smith, Vikings.

The ninth overall pick in the draft, Kuechly led the NFL with 164 tackles, finishing 10 short of the rookie record set in 2007 by Patrick Willis. Kuechly also had 10 games with 10 or more tackles. In Week Five, he slid from outside linebacker to the middle, where he participated in every snap on defense for the rest of the season.

Jenkins, a second-round steal, instantly became a dangerous cover man and return specialist. He could soon be one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Some may say he already is.

No mention of TD for comeback player of the year. Saying that "no one comes close" to having the comeback as Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson is a giant slap in the face to TD.

People have come back from 1 acl tear before and doctors said that Peyton should be able to return to normal once he had that last surgery. No one said that Thomas Davis would be even able to step foot on the field, must less play at a high level.

Does he deserve the award? Probably not. But he at least deserves to be mentioned.

I hope the NFL pussies out on MVP and has AP and Manning as co-MVPs. That pretty much guarantees Davis comeback player of the year.

The reality is that having an idea of what kind of person Davis is, he doesn't give a damn about the award. He's just happy he can play and is looking to spend this offseason training to become the best he's ever been.

      We have our own issues with Bryce but it’s crazy how this franchise was dragged through the media the last 2 years for missing out on CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams   *whispers* Bryce played better than both of them in the playoffs the real mistake was mortgaging the future for Bryce when Drake Maye could have been there the next year

      Needs? Draft or FA

      By musicman · Posted

      O-line: 1 major player for Tackle (draft or FA) and a Center (if we don't resign Mayes). WR: Low pick or good FA signing? D-LIne: Def need a NT and a DE/OLB who can rush the QB. FA or Draft? TE; I don't know what they want to think of what they do? MLB: I think it's out 1st rd pick, but getting another in FA wouldn't hurt, thoughts? DBs; We need another sticky QB to play more man when needed. Again a 1st or 2nd rd pick IMO.  S: Everybody says we need a rangy centerfielder, draft or FA? Would you take one high in the draft? I don't use players because there are no guarantees who's there, just asking what makes sense. We know they'll fill "all" the holes in FA and then draft, so which FA are the better ones and which are just 1 year fillers? My thought: FA - Big DT, DE/OLB & MLB. 2 of 3 as those take a which to develop. Draft: MLB or Tackle, DB in the 2nd, DE/OLB in the 3rd. I think they need a solid T if Icki doesn't return better than before and Moton is getting old.  I also think thy need to resign BC on the O-line.
