Watt is an elite individual player.  Luke makes everyone around him BETTER with his ability to lead and diagnosis.  One day people will figure out how to really stuff Watt and make him not as effective, where as you can't stop Luke's ability to read plays and place people where they will need to be on Defense.

Which player makes the greatest impact on the rest of his respective defense?  Which player is in the best position to make the others around him better?

 

I lean towards Luke when I think about the leadership and the ability to get a unit to play together better, but if the line can't keep blockers off of him, then he becomes somewhat neutralized.  Watt is a freak of nature, and it's scary to think of Clowney coming back soon the way Watt is playing this season.

 

I really can't decide, but I know this much, if I had to give up Luke for anyone else on defense in the NFL, I don't think I could do it.  So I guess there's your answer.

The thing about it is, last year this wouldn't be close but with our defense getting completely destroyed by the Ravens and Steelers, both mediocre teams in many peoples opinions.  With Watt also balling like he has, it's actually a legit question.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
