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.
