Kuechly a bust? One Bucs fan thought so

I'm not going to call it yet but we've seen our young rookies come out and make an impact right away. You can tell they are players. 

David, who plays the same position as Kuechly, completely outplayed, shined and performed Kuechly all day. I thought Kuechly had been taken out of the game. The only play I remember was when Martin pwned him early on. I think he gave up on himself after that. The knock on the guy was that he was soft and couldn't stand up in the NFL game. It sure looks like that so far as our FB Erik Lorig, who has a total of 15 starts at FB, picked up the pwning when Marting was done with him.

If they get him on a good strength program he has a shot of being a 3rd down LB for the kitties.

Agreed?

Thread is at 14 pages.  Haven't jumped in yet, but it's the off season, so I plan to go annoy them a bit.

 

Luke has more nicknames that Cromartie has kids.

 

Long live Luuuuuke, Lukeness Monster, Keek, KeekMonster, Captain America, Clark Kent!

tbf, there were plenty of Panther fans that were thinking the same thing (maybe not that extreme) around that time

 

Kuechly didn't look great until he moved to MLB.

 

edit: lol oh wee the more recent comments are gold

"He's a nice piece in a well oiled defense. He would be Ruud like pedestrian on a lot of teams."

Eh I've read worse. Remember this article? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/694994-carolina-panther-cam-newton-is-the-worst-nfl-draft-pick-ever

Cam Newton is a sure-fire bust. I am so certain of this that if he is the Panthers' starting quarterback in 2016, I will buy a Cam Newton jersey and stand in the stadium parking lot in my underwear when the Panthers come to  Tampa Bay and hold a sign proclaiming that Auburn rules over Florida and Carolina rules over Tampa Bay.

In five years, when The Golden Calf of Bristol is leading Denver into the playoffs and Cam Newton is riding someone's bench, remember this article.

granted he wasn't great at WLB.  maybe if he had stayed there he would have grown into the position but he would probably never get close to what he does at MLB.

that said, bucs fans were really reallllllly salty about the attention luke was getting over lavonte david for a long time, like up until 2014.  they were comparing him to barrett ruud and saying he couldn't cover and wasn't athletic and other insanely ignorant poo.  never mind that they (meaning david/kuechly) don't even play the same position, "luke isn't even the best linebacker in that division!1" was their rallying cry after he won DPOY in 2013.

edit:

whoops, looks like i spoke too soon!  we're still getting b. ruud comparisons in the year of our lord 2016 in bucland-

This.
He's a nice piece in a well oiled defense. He would be Ruud like pedestrian on a lot of teams.  The media loves a guy like him.  I'm sure Dolorious has a mouth full of the dude as I type this.

 

it's a response to a guy saying that he wouldn't be nearly as good behind the bucs' d-line.  yeah i don't think luke kuechly would be doing much of anything behind effing gerald mccoy.  what a joke.  go look up who our DTs were in 2012.

One point. He didn't even play a season at WLB so it is hard to say as a rookie he wasn't good at WLB. In college as a WLB  he was second in the country in tackles as a WLB as a freshman. Just saying........

Look at that noble crusader receiving insults and threats from the homer contingent of that board, speaking truth in the face of impassioned, absurd, and unrelenting bias. Always have respect for a guy like that.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
