Coach K a Panthers fan? Seems to be.

Krzyzewski: "Do you like tackling?"

Kuechly: “I always would rather hit somebody rather than get hit. That’s why when I played tight end I didn’t like it because you don’t always know where guys are coming from. But as a linebacker I felt like I always knew where guys were coming to hit me, because they’re always running right in front of me. So that was a little bit of comfort for me, knowing I knew where guys were.”

Krzyzewski: "How did we let you not come to Duke [over Boston College]? Didn’t you have an official visit here?"

Kuechly: “I had a great experience there. Coach [David] Cutcliffe was awesome. Duke was right up there. I don’t know what it was about Boston College. ... We had a couple of guys I played with at St. Xavier, my high school, that went to BC and that’s probably where the comfort came in. When I came down it was beautiful, it was awesome. Coach Cutcliffe is the man. It was right up there with BC and I just slid over to BC. But Cutcliffe was awesome and he’s doing a great job.”

Krzyzewski: "I’m glad we got you in Carolina [with the Panthers]. You’ve become an amazing fan favorite. When I told my staff you were going to be on the show, two of the girls said, 'He’s my son’s favorite.'"

Kuechly: “Uh, oh.”

I doubt he's a Panthers fan. Ain't met too many Duke people or fans who were panthers fans to begin with. Probably really a Giants fan like most Dook fans I know

He's been a NC resident since before you were born.  

I know a numerous people from NC who went to Duke.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
