[Charlotte Observer] Who are Panthers’ 2024 MVPs on offense, defense and special teams? Carolina teammates vote

The final week of the regular season, especially for a team not making the playoffs, is a time of reflection.

For the Carolina Panthers (4-12), there wasn’t a ton to celebrate in 2024. But the team did double its win total from 2023 before Christmas, and the future does seem somewhat bright for head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan and their respective crews.

However, with the season about to wrap up, The Observer went around the Panthers’ locker room to get its perspective on the team’s performance this year.

The Observer polled 64 players over the past two weeks to get their votes for the offensive, defensive and special teams MVPs of 2024.

As with last year’s Processing Blue awards, players had to be on the 53-man roster, practice squad and/or injured reserve for at least four weeks this season to receive a vote. The players couldn’t vote for themselves, and they only had one vote for each of the three categories.

Panthers offensive MVP

  • Winner: RB Chuba Hubbard (44 votes)
  • Runner-up: QB Bryce young (15 votes)
  • Staff picks: Hubbard (Fowler), Hubbard (Kaye), Hubbard (Zietlow)

Panthers defensive MVP

  • Winner: CB Jaycee Horn (27 votes)
  • Runner-up: LB Josey Jewell (17 votes)
  • Staff choices: Jewell (Fowler), Horn (Kaye), Horn (Zietlow) 

Panthers special teams MVP

  • Winner: TE Feleipe Franks (31 votes)
  • Runner-up: DB Lonnie Johnson (11 votes)
  • Staff picks: Pineiro (Fowler), Rhattigan (Kaye), Franks (Zietlow)

Giving this team an MVP award is like handing out participation awards after a tee ball game

Yeah it's kinda pointless but a couple of them need a pat on the back for not giving up halfway through the season. Other than that it's just a participation trophy.

O MVP

1.  Hubbard

2.  The OL

3.  AT

D MVP

1.  Jewell

2. Horn

I really don't think there is a D MVP.  I think Jewell just deserves some praise though for sort of standing out. 

ST MVP

Abstain. 

*new award 

CPOY

Bryce Young - he climbed out of the pits of hell that no one thought possible.  Still not impressive QB play but he climb out of that was impressive.

    • I've been thinking about this too, and it would hurt not to get a top #5 hopefully generational talent; but I'd love if we could find a Future HOF and another Pro Bowl caliber player by trading back in the first.  I don't think these prospects will warrant a team desperate to trade up though, I hope I'm wrong.
    • Too many options at this point--I like the depth of second-tier QBs in this draft--even after a few have announced that they are returning.  Howard, Rourke, Dart, Beck--all could benefit from sitting for a year or two before being tossed into the fire.  Beck, for example, lost his confidence and it got to him--Howard has shown he can play well on a big stage, Rourke took Indiana to the promise land on a torn ACL--and Dart is supposedly a good leader and his biggest problem is he tries to do too much.  I agree that it would be helpful to have a veteran in Bryce's ear, but Rush is not competition.  Bryce did not pick it up until he thought Andy was going to take his job.  Rush has never been the permanent starter on any team--he is a drifter who wants to make $350k a game holding a Surface tablet.  While this draft is not full of starting QBs, it has depth in the area of developmental QBs.  That is where I cast my line.   Cheaper too.  Need an experienced adult near Bryce? That is called a coach.
    • If you want to lose the locker room, let the players feel that you are trying to lose to replace them.  You are exactly right-- Losing games makes it tougher to lure free agents, so the losses hurt you in that area, helps you in the draft--but that is the GM viewpoint only.  Losing is like a cold, dark rain cloud that covers the practice field all week long.  It is in the backs of everyone's mind.  It is like going to work every day thinking you could be fired or demoted or that your closest teammates and friend are temporary. Losing is cancer.  Losing today keeps that rain cloud over you all off season.  A win, however, gives you more hope and encouragement.  It is easy to make it about numbers--winning is a culture.  Today we will see the Giants, Patriots, Titans, and Panthers (etc.) fighting for their jobs. I think the Panthers are going to win and will draft ninth overall.
