After just three years, Luke Kuechly is already the Panthers career leader in assisted tackles

[TheRumGone]

Assisted tackles? Lol. I could get myself a few assisted tackles too if given a chance. I guest Luke be stealing full tackles from folks.

At first I wanted to joke about the stat assisted tackles, but if those didn't occur, I wonder how many of those would never be tackles w/o Luke finishing the job..,

Also, I wonder when they even started tracking assisted tackles.  I thought they just split them like sacks.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

for the record, Kuechly has played 3 seasons. doesn't change your observation though.

I have absolutely no idea why I said 2 years. I keep forgetting it's already 2015...

Agreed.  And to add to that, JJ Watt is not athletic, and Weddle is a terrible Safety.

 

Oh, and Gronk can't hold Vernon Davis's jock strap.

[Woodie]

Figures we'd get an ignorant response from this source.

Luke has led the entire league in tackles because he's just that good.

Deal with it.

​The thing about assisted tackles is that it shows his range and ability to always be around the ball.  He isn't someone that just holds his spot and makes the tackles that come to him, he goes and gets involved wherever the ball is going.  It exemplifies his recognition and reaction skills.

If i'm not mistaken, didn't Luke break PW's record for most total tackles in the first 3 years for any NFL player ever?

Usually when a CB brings in a lot of tackles that means they arebt doing their job. They are letting the receiver catch the ball. Remember his agent saying he was going to be the highest ever paid CB? He ended up moving to safety in Arizona

Im guessing he would not be to happy if Brandon Wegher made the team?

​The phrase "team colors" has a slightly different connotation for him.

​The phrase "team colors" has a slightly different connotation for him.

​And that's more than a little pathetic.

1. People who claim Kuechly steals tackles are ignorant of his tenacity and hustle to the ball carrier every single play like it's his last. 

2. Tackles by a corner aren't necessarily a good thing. It may have been a product of being close to a receiver but not close enough to disrupt or intercept the ball. 

3. Let's hope CJ breaks Julius' team record this year.

Eh, it's been clearly shown that scorers a really generous when it comes to assisted tackles. Not taking anything away from Luke but I've seen assists given out for literally being around the play and not even really tackling/wrapping up at all.

What's impressive is that he's avg 100 tackles per season, at 6 tackles per game.

[OneBadCat]

Luke is everything Dan Morgan should have been.

Wouldn't he need like 20 sacks? Also, JP has the longest INT return in team history. Huh.
