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.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Uh... Bryce Young extension? This shouldn't even be remotely on the table right now.  Hell, the Texans haven't even engaged Stroud in an extension discussion yet and he's played miles better than Bryce has during their careers so far. I swear, he's going to show the bare minimum of improvement this year, the front office is going to say it's showing he's still getting better, and going to sign him to a stupidly large extension that is only going to set us back another 5+ years when he never even approaches being an above average QB and we have to replace him a few more years down the line.

      Yeah I'm calling shenanigans on this. I get why people want this to be true but the truth is plainly right in front of us. Scott Fitterer was a god awful GM but at the end of the day the same guy that hired him gave Matt Rhule generational wealth because his wife made some tasty meatballs. The whole trade up to #1 reeked of David Tepper's desperation and his need to be in the headlines. He had mentioned that he spoke to Bryce months before the draft and directly intimated that he would like Bryce to be a Panther. And who was it that held a press conference where he did virtually 98% of the talking after firing Reich? I legitimately don't understand how one can come to a conclusion that the entire Bryce Young debacle was all Scott Fitterer. I mean one would have had to have recently had a stroke or some kind of brain injury to even begin to rationalize such. Not trying to be a dick but cmon.... If it was all Scott Fitterer then why did we spend two straight years after 2023 making absolutely no effort to bring in any competition in the QB room? Andy Dalton? Jack Plummer? And furthermore at the end of the day Dan Morgan is the GM because no other serious candidates were interested in the job. And why is that exactly? Hmmmmmm. And if Fitterer was the architect of the trade up and selection of Bryce Young and the Tepper's were just a couple of poor schlubs taken for a ride does hiring Scott Fitterer's right hand man and best friend sound like a well laid plan? None of this is even mentioning the fact that the 2024 draft was basically like Scott Fitterer never left. Yet people still aren't getting it? 🤨 This place is always amusing. That's what keeps bringing me back.

      Play him on his 5th year. See if he starts/repeats the success. If he does, great, no problem with an extension. Just no Daniel Jones 1 hit wonder contract please.
