Luke's preparation

Panthers.com: Kuechly hungry for more

 

If a player with half the talent put the time in that Kuechly does, he'd maximize his output, but it would still only get him halfway to Kuechly. If Kuechly prepared half as hard as that guy, the two would be on equal footing.

 

But combine Kuechly's talent and his time commitment, and the results speak for themselves.

 

"It's not an accident that he's successful. He spends as much time as anybody I've been around if not more," defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said. "With the process he puts himself through, he earns the right to be good."

 

 

ESPN: Being the best begins well before kickoff for Panthers' Luke Kuechly

 

But what sets Kuechly apart is his preparation. He spends more time in the film room than some coaches. He had to be told to leave on Christmas Eve.

"The process he puts himself through, he earns the right to be good and to have success," Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott says. "It's like studying for an exam for Luke."

Kuechly is dedicated in a way that can be described as obsessive. His idea of social time during the season is hanging out with teammates in the locker room.

This is how you build a team - full of guys like this. To be successful these guys need to enjoy every aspect of NFL life, not be juggling their outside social life with their football. I think we've got a whole bunch of guys like Luke on the team, and the most important thing I've noticed.....All these guys seem to truly like each other and enjoy being around each other. Our future is very bright with Gettleman and these core pieces, and even Rivera.

    • in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.     
    • He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot. 
    • This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
