From the article...

 

Luke:

 

Maybe the best defensive player in football this side of J.J. Watt.

 

 

Bene:
 

Benwikere narrowly makes this list over guys like Kyle Fuller, K'Waun Williams, Jason Verrett and E.J. Gaines. The rookie out of San Jose State did not allow a touchdown reception last season despite playing nearly 500 snaps.

Yeah, Luke's age has always been one of my biggest points about what makes him so good and valuable.  I don't think a lot of people realized he was 20 going into his rookie year after as well as he played... they just assumed he was older.

 

I was kinda' dumbfounded when I found out he was only 21 after he won the DROY.  Just the fact he played the game like a hardened veteran and had such an advanced football IQ at his age was crazy.

 

He's going to be ridiculous once he gets around 28 or so, which is usually an athlete's peak.

Davis

Kuechly

 Benwikere

Harper

Boston

Klein

 

That is a lot of intelligence behind the front 4.  They all seem articulate, cerebral, etc.  in interviews, and it shows on the field.  Character matters too--and they have it.

 

(Sorry Norman, you do not make this list because you have a bit of a history and you HELD THE INTERCEPTION WITH ONE HAND WHILE CROSSING THE FIELD WHEN EVERYONE IN THE STADIUM AND OUT OF IT KNEW THAT FALLING DOWN WAS THE SMART MOVE!!!)

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
