Who is the smartest player in the NFL? A lot of people are automatically say Peyton Manning and for good reason, have we have seen a quarter back that dictates defenses like manning? Probably not. You could also make a valid argument for Tom Brady. There is not a player in the NFL that I hated more than Brady, but the old saying " You have to give respect, where respect is due.". Tom has been to 6 Super Bowls and won 3 (unfortunately one was against the Panthers). I know I am going to be bias with this choice, but I am going to come out and say it. Luke keuchley is the smartest defensive player in the league right now and when Manning retires, he will probably be in that number one slot. Keuchley has been a stud since his college days. He was 6 tackles away from breaking the all time tackle record in NCAA football history and even had one year of eligibility before entering the draft. We might just be witnessing not only the greatest Linebacker of all time, but the greatest defensive player of all time. I think everyone would agree that LT Lawrence Taylor for the Giants was the greatest to ever play a defensive position, some could argue it was Ray Lewis. Lawrence Taylor and Luke Keuchley are the only players in history to have won NFL defensive ROY and DPOY in their first two seasons. Luke is by far the best draft pick this franchise has ever had and has given this team an identity along with Cam Newton. So my fellow Panther Fans be patient, because our time is coming in the near future. Keep Pounding!

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
