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

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.

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.

​

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.

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.

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

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.

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

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
