As the title suggests, who is a player you feel had a big impact on the team but was under appreciated?

 

My nomination would be Mario Addison. 

- Was always the 3rd or 4th best player on the d-line (played with Hard, Peppers, Allen, Star, Short, Johnson)
- Played with motor, would generate pressure and get clean up sacks. 
- Ultra reliable 
- Played both DE and transitioned to OLB when Rivera changed to a 3-4 in 2019

Never a stay but a true testament of a core player you need on the team. 

Brother's death adds 'fuel to fire' for Panthers' Mario Addison - ESPN - NFL Nation- ESPN

Other considerations: 
- AJ Klein
- Dan Connor

1. Wharton

2. Gamble

3. Buckner

4. Delhomme

5.  Ginn Jr. - my most controversial, even if he dropped the ball, his role was centric to altering/impacting what a D could get away with vs those teams.

Good call on Warton.  He got moved around the OL and never missed a beat.

What a wild time to be living in Charlotte 

Was always a weird thing for me. I had finished working on the punch list for his house. Was a nice enough fellow to me. I had also worked on Fred Lane's house a couple of weeks prior to what happened.

We all took shots at Gamble including me but in reality he was a quality starter for us for many years and worth the pick

I went back and watched a lot of the 2015 games on youtube and Kurt Coleman was a beast that season, and very underappreciated and forgotten in the annuls of Panther history

Currently, Shaq Thompson. All time Chris Gamble.

Shaq Thompson never had a chance to live up to expectations considering who he was following. 

I still think he has underperformed based on his draft position though. Overall solid player but first round LBs need to make pro bowls.

Beason might be one. 

Joke answer Eddie Piniero. 

Jeno James is my blast from the past name I haven’t heard in a while. 

 

As far as Shaq, we have been blessed to have some great linebackers over the years, the standards are really high. 

Speaking of, Will Witherspoon. I think he was about rightly appreciated though.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By MHS831 · Posted

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
