Luke Kuechly will not be getting any votes for Defensive MVP this season.

No more Sunday Night intro videos with Carrie Underwood either.

MVP, OPOY, and DPOY all essentially require playing on a good team. We aren't a good team. Not even close to it. Luke is still going to put up gaudy personal stats, but we aren't going to have any players in consideration for personal awards.

Only tackles in the backfield(like sacks) should count. Those falling on the pile after 1st down conversions are nonsense.

This is idiotic.

Tackles in the backfield do count differently, they're tackles for loss. Sacks do count differently, they're sacks. Tackles absolutely should count and absolutely matter. If no tackle occurred virtually every play would go for a TD.

A good OL is the most critical group to successful football.   If your OL can run block and pass block, you keep your offense on the field and the opposing offense off the field.  You win TOP and tire the defense.

 

BUT, if you have one or two defensive linemen who can consistently win their space and blow up the opposing OL, you've got something really powerful in just a couple of players.  Hardy is one of those guys.

Yea, and if I don't breathe I will die. Tackles are necessary part of the game. If tackles count, running should count as well. I'm not talking running with the football just running. I want to know who runs the most every time the ball snaps. Running is as necessary as tackles.

This is actually tracked in soccer.

Sorry to bust your idiot stat tracking bubble.

      Baseball is waqaayy better suited to statistical analysis than football. If a hitter hits a home run, it's pretty much his own effort though the point goes to the team as a whole. For a team to score a touchdown (let's say via pass) the center has to make a good snap, he and the rest of the line have to block well enough to keep the defense from getting to the quarterback, the quarterback has to throw a good pass, the receiver has to run the correct route and catch the ball, the other potential targets have to effectively play their roles, and so on and so on and so on...  Any single one of those things going wrong can short circuit the whole thing, and even if it's all done right the defense might still stop it. Individual stats just don't paint a complete picture. There are too many variables. To get an accurate picture that way requires looking at things from several different angles, something most folks are either ill equipped or unwilling to do. I don't bother with all that. I just watch the game and go by what I know.

      Bryce logic is just The Golden Calf of Bristol logic boss.  It’s the same Skip Bayless argument  doesn’t matter he isn’t very good.   Doesn’t matter he is why they are so often down.   Doesn’t matter he doesn’t really generate offense.  We got some really odd ball wins and there are some are some random late plays…it’s just a repackaged Tebowmania argument.  But more bland.  It’s a run game and D carrying the QB…..and wanting to over credit the QB

      Whew, it won't compete against the Pop Tart Bowl (#12 BYU Cougars vs the #22 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets - Saturday, December 27, 2025, at 3:30 PM ET) And yes, the Pop Tart Bowl DOES have the best marketing plan of all the bowls
