KK Short Is The Carolina Panthers Defensive MVP

[stankowalski]

One thing is for sure, K. Short has had one of the best season's already for a DT in our franchises history.  Since the start of our franchise comparable seasons for DT's:

2015 Short 44 tackles 9 sacks

2007-Kemoeatu 46 tackles 0 sacks

2003-Jenkins 45 tackles 5 sacks

2002-Jenkins 44 tackles 7 sacks

Those stats vary from site to site I'm sure but I used the official site.  And those are complete seasons so Short will add some more tackles and sacks in the next 3 games to add to his lead.  So I think it's safe to say that he's had the best year for a DT for our team.

The Panthers defensive MVP is up for grabs between Short and Davis.

lol since this would probably the 6th or 7th time explaining this exact topic to you, I think I'll just pass. 

Good, because it's Friday and arguing on a Friday is taxing and fuging stupid.  Therefore, we cool.

I agree and I was saying this to friends this week. However, I think point 2 is invalid simply because it literally goes both ways.

What I mean by that is that KK also benefits from Josh. If everyone is covered, then the QB holds onto the ball longer and thus KK gets the sack.

The point is valid both ways in a symbiotic way. But I agree. KK has been a consistent force to be reckoned with all year. That high level consistency is invaluable. Thus MVP.

Yeah this is the way our whole team performs. Every position feeds off the others. Norman wouldnt be as successful without Peanut, Coleman, KK, Star, Luke, TD, Shaq, Kony, and JA. Neither would any of them be performing as well without Norman or any of the rest.

It would be a travesty if KK doesn't get ont the Pro Bowl and garner at least a few DPOY votes.

those same exact points could be said about jno

 

1. The same

2. Replace jno with kk

3. Jno stats

4. Jno game winner

 

They're both great, i just think jno is more important

Great reasons to love this "team." This is easily the most cohesive team we have ever had. 

Just wait till we get KB back and our ST finally gets on the same page cohesively.

if we have this same team with everyone healthy from start to finish, their is no-limit to how good these guys will be.

every game it seems like we have a different player step-up and make a game-changing play each and every week.

I think it's Star's week to come up big and for Shaq to do the same. Would be great if Finnegan and Tillman to be solid as well.

cant forget about Fozzy and CAP with their chances to make plays...and it will all come down to our OLine to make that happen.

What a group we have. Outstanding.

I do agree agree with this. Short has really masked the team's avg production from the ends. His push up the middle has caused many a poor throws and yet another guy a team has to game plan for. 

As Gettles once said: he values guys more that play closer to the line as they impact more plays per game. 

IMO extending Short is a more important signing than Josh Norman....but let us hope we have both for a while.

Star and Short are must-keeps considering their chemistry and talent together. 

It took us years to overcome allowing Rucker to walk. I don't want that happening again.
