No love for Mitchell

This has me totally baffled.

 

The best safety on the #1 Defense isn't even mentioned in this article. 

 

You can make your case for any one of the safeties but there is absolutely no way Mitchell should not be included in the conversation.   He has played lights out and is a key reason why our defense is rated #1.

He actually is on there, he's just in the last category and they have him listed as Michael (instead of Mike) Mitchell.

I do find it funny that he is one of the three players listed that doesn't have a link embedded in his name... Oh well.

If he's in a category that includes Ed Reed that ain't a compliment lol...

We are talking this year.  I could give a rats ass what his previous experience or  lack there of.   The bottom line is he is a vital part of our defense and a very key element in our status.  How you cannot consider him in this conversation is B.S.

 

It is something we are accustom to but it is sad he isn't given more love.

He's been good for us this year, but I think all of us Panthers fans have developed a dulled sense of what constitutes truly great safety play as we've witness some truly dreadful safety play in Carolina in recent years.  I'm not trying to knock Mitchell, but he's not an elite NFL safety.  He's the best safety we've had in years, but that ain't saying much.

Not sure I agree with you.  His numbers are as good as anyone in the league.  If you look at the Pro Bowl numbers.  He is the only one ( or was a week or so ago when I voted) That had good stats across the board.  Some had more Ints but no sacks, Some had sack but no Ints.  FF the same.

 

He has thrived in our system and is worthy of the conversation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
